Marketed with a tagline of ‘luxury that roars’, the 2023 Escalade is a unique vehicle that sets new standards in the high-end, three-row SUV market. Here are the key features you could enjoy with a test drive of this immensely captivating Caddy.

Imposing Exterior Design

It’s clear from a single glance that the Escalade will offer a luxurious, powerful, and confident driving experience. The exterior profile makes few concessions to fashionable design flourishes and is instead based around bold lines and assertive angles, from the imposing front grille and hood to the extended rear end. Unlike many other SUVs which can seem slightly anonymous, the Escalade confidently announces its presence on the road.

Luxurious Interior Materials

The interior is just as striking as the exterior, designed with all the attention to detail you’d expect from a high-end Cadillac. Natural woods, hand-finished leather, and premium fabrics are all featured extensively to create a genuinely upscale feel that makes every journey one to savour.

Options, including heated and ventilated seats, raise the comfort bar even further, while a console-integrated refrigerator ensures you have an ice-cold refreshment on hand wherever your drive takes you.

But the Escalade’s interior isn’t only about luxurious comfort. With the rear seats folded down, the cabin boasts a cargo space of fully 3,426L, an ample amount for even the most demanding long-distance adventures. And if that’s not enough, the Escalade ESV model has an extended wheelbase that boosts the capacity to a huge 4,043L, one of the most generous figures on the market today.

Stunning Interior Technology

Perhaps the most striking aspect of the Escalade is the display technology that dominates the interior. A high-resolution digital OLED screen spans fully 38 inches across the diagonal, curving around the dash and providing both instrumentation and infotainment displays in a single seamless unit.

Navigation is included and integrated into the instrument cluster for easy reference, with an optional augmented reality mode overlaying directions onto a real-time display of the road ahead. Convenience and safety are increased even further by the optional head-up display. It projects essential driving info and navigation instructions directly onto the windshield, helping you to keep total focus on the drive.

To complete the generous tech provision, an available rear-seat entertainment system provides multiple 12.6-inch colour displays mounted in the second and third rows so that all passengers can enjoy a high-definition multimedia experience.

Searing Engine Power

Choose the Escalade, and you’ll never lack power in any driving scenario. The standard engine is a 6.2L V8 model making a huge 420 horsepower and 460lb-ft of torque, complete with cylinder management technology to optimize the balance of power and efficiency.

Alternatively, the available 3.0L Duramax diesel engine provides 277 horsepower and 460lb-ft of torque while delivering exceptional efficiency coupled with low emissions.

Whichever engine you choose, the available Super Cruise technology makes driving the Escalade a breeze, with full hands-free autonomous driver assistance available on thousands of kilometres of road throughout North America.

Put all these features together, and the 2023 Cadillac Escalade is a uniquely luxurious and powerful SUV that will satisfy even the most critical high-end drivers. If you’d like to experience its superior quality for yourself, please book a test drive by clicking on the button below.
