The 5th generation Escalade, launched for the 2021 model year, was a technological leap for Cadillac's flagship SUV. It introduced an independent rear suspension for superior ride quality and a stunning 38-inch curved OLED instrument and infotainment display. Available in standard and extended ESV lengths, it solidified its position as a benchmark for American luxury with features like optional Super Cruise hands-free driving.
While still a new vehicle, the Escalade holds significant appeal as a status symbol. The introduction of the Escalade-V for 2023 added a serious performance dimension, packing a 682 hp supercharged 6.2L V8. This V-Series model is the most desirable variant for enthusiasts, combining immense power with the Escalade's signature luxury and road presence.
Buying Tips
- The Escalade-V is the ultimate model, featuring a 682 hp supercharged LT4 V8. It's the most powerful and sought-after variant.
- Thoroughly test the 38-inch curved OLED screen. Check for dead pixels, delamination, and ensure all infotainment and vehicle setting menus respond quickly.
- Verify the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control systems are functioning correctly. Cycle through the different ride heights and listen for unusual noises from the compressor.
- Choose your powertrain wisely. The standard 420 hp 6.2L V8 is common, but the optional 3.0L Duramax diesel offers superior fuel economy for long-distance drivers.
- Carefully inspect interior trim and leather surfaces for premature wear, especially on high-touch areas and the driver's seat bolsters.
