Performance

The 2021 Escalade inspires confidence as soon as you grip the steering wheel. That' s because it comes standard with a 6.2L V8 engine that can produce an unbelievable 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. On top of that, you can upgrade to an available 3.0L turbo-diesel powertrain if you want to be at the reins of 277 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. No matter which system captures your interest, the Escalade comes equipped with a standard 10-speed automatic transmission, so you'll experience smooth gear shifts as you pick up speed on Interstate 88. Is your commute to work riddled with potholes and other inconsistencies? If so, you'll be pleased to hear that this set of wheels features coil-over-shocks in the front and rear.

Interior

Whether it's just you in the cabin or you've got a lot of guests tagging along, you can be confident everyone will stay comfortable thanks to the plethora of relaxing amenities. To start, the base Luxury trim comes with leatherette surfaces and a 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat. To take it up a level, go with the Platinum Luxury or Platinum Sport to unlock Opus semi-aniline leather upholstery and 16-way power adjustability. During cold winter days, you'll remain cozy in the Escalade because it provides standard heated front seats. On top of that, you, your copilot, and guests in the second row will be able to stay at the right temperature courtesy of the standard tri-zone climate control system. We can't forget to mention the available panoramic sunroof that will allow you to let in a fresh breeze of air whenever the mood strikes.

Safety

It would be difficult to enjoy the capabilities of the Cadillac Escalade without being backed up by a dependable array of protective technologies. Fortunately, you'll have nothing to be concerned about in this SUV, as it comes standard with features such as Forward Collision Alert1 and Automatic Emergency Braking1. While the former will chime to let you know when it senses a possible accident ahead, the latter will apply stopping force on your behalf if you fail to alter your trajectory in time. Additionally, with Lane Keep Assist1, you'll be provided with slight steering wheel torque to re-center you if you begin to stray without your turn signal on.
