Highlights: Although sales of luxury SUVs have slipped over the years, the
Escalade is still one of the best-selling luxury SUVs in America with over
25,000 new-vehicle sales annually. The Escalade was just name the best luxury
SUV in terms of quality, according to the industry respected J.D. Power survey.

What’s New: The luxurious Escalade is basically a carryover for
the 2012 model year. The only minor changes are an enhancement to the
navigation system and a few new paint choices.
Tech savvy buyers will welcome that this big Caddy now offers a new USB
interface port which is located inside the center console. This feature now
allows direct iPod command and control as well as USB storage device
connectivity.
Pros: The Escalade is available in a variety of configurations:
a short-wheel base model, a long-wheel base model, a hybrid and a truck. Due to
its massive size, the luxury SUV is capable of fending off any type of weather
climate, depending on if the vehicle is equipped in a rear-wheel drive system
or an all-wheel drive system.
And unlike most vehicles, this vehicle can carry up to eight
individuals, along with cargo in the vehicle or on top of the roof’s luggage
rack. Moreover, the Cadillac Escalade has a towing capacity upwards of 8,100
lbs. So not only can one ride in style, but they don’t have to sacrifice cargo
space, while doing this.
Besides this being a utilitarian vehicle, buyers can opt for
such luxury amenities as heated (and cooled) cupholders, hand-stitched accents
covering the instrument panel (door trim and center console) and LED
headlights.
Cons: In this day and time where consumers are downsizing to
more fuel-efficient utility vehicles, the days of the mammoth SUVs are no
longer fashionable. Also while this vehicle was literally equipped with a host
of luxury features, it lacked a push-button keyless starter, a radar cruise
control system and a lane-departure warning system. It’s time for Cadillac to
up the ante, offering more high-tech features in this luxury SUV.
Ironically, we’re currently reviewing its baby sibling, the
Chevy Equinox and this pint-size crossover offers features that should be
available on the Escalade. For instance, a well-equipped Equinox LTZ with a
6-cylinder engine is available with a safety package that includes a forward
collision alert system and a lane departure warning system. Go
figure? Why are these features available on a $30,000 vehicle and not one that
costs twice as much? We expect that these features will be available in about two years on the next-generation Escalade.
Also we won’t even mention how much this vehicle disliked
gas stations or better yet, how much we disliked filling-up. Well, at least,
there is a hybrid available in this Caddy.
The Verdict: The luxurious Cadillac Escalade is a brand to
itself. In fact, we just learned from Cadillac officials that the Escalade name
is so popular it’s usually not associated with the brand. This could be seen as
both a positive and negative, depending on if the glass is half full or empty. Overall
the Escalade is capable of doing everything that one expects of a luxurious
brand, except this one happens to be a SUV. And unlike the other luxury SUVs, this one was just rated as the number one vehicle in its segment in
terms of quality. This is a first for the Escalade. So whether one is looking for short-wheel base model, a long-wheel base model, a hybrid or a luxury truck, it can all be found in the Escalade family.
Competition: Infiniti
QX56, M-B GL- Class, Lexus LX-Series, Lincoln Navigator, Range Rover and Toyota Land Cruiser
