2015 Cadillac Escalade 4x4 Start Up, Full Review, & Test Drive @ CRESTMONT CADILLAC

[@NEONPARADlSE]

I must be the only person who doesn't like console mounted shifters. The reason why I enjoy the column mounted shifter is because there is so much more storage space in the center console that doesn't need to be sacrificed for a sporty feel on a full size SUV. The new Escalade looks fantastic.

[@KeiDoesManyThings]

Does*

[@slimjimandpepsi]

agree, I would perfer the center console shifter in a sports car or sedan, but not a truck like this

[@EDINN2505]

I like you reviews. You are not copying saabkyle like as I have noticed a lot of youtubers do. You are even better maybe than him, you are not annoying with 20 min of exterior car shots while you read something you found on internet about what cars chassis is made of, we can read that. Relatively short videos but full of details, keep up the good work!

[@form109]

as much as I was initially turned off by the Redesign...im now starting to warm up to it and see just how big a difference they've made. the Escalade has a come a LONG way since 1999.

[@WheelsRCool]

You could also buy the Escalade just if you like the vehicle, it doesn't need to just be to show off to other people. I'd drive an Escalade even if nobody else ever saw me driving it.

[@People-Business-And-Ideas]

''Cadillac'' especially Escallade's association to the Hip-Hop music genre (Videos, Songs etc.) over the last 20 - 25yrs has defined the brands COOL factor. That music genre made Cadillac cool to the 25 - 45yr old buyers. At a time when other GM products are not as highly regarded. Just look at the success of second generation CTS. Its no coincidence I own a 2010 CTS-4.  The 2015 Escallade is a clear class leader.

[@Alviniscute]

this review is very personable! it is great how dedicated and happy the cameraman seems to give the viewer information

[@mjsgirl4670]

FYI, the tray in the middle console is to put your phone on for wireless charging!!!

[@highcrimes9153]

Probably the best video to date on the 2015 Escalade. Wondering if you could elaborate more on the "Touring" and "Sport" modes such as what the differences are.

[@ThePopfrazz]

It's funny how the Yukon Denali/Cadillac Escalade were made as a response to the Lincoln Navigator in the late 90's, and the GM SUVs have definitely established more presence, especially since they have been making more differences. Like in the early 2000's, if you've seen one GM interior, you've seen them all. But now you can clearly see differences in the interior of a mid range GM SUV (Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/XL) and of a base model Escalade. And from the looks the Navigator has always been an Expedition with Lincoln emblems.

[@_thebusphotograher_cali]

Your video Is more stable than your older videos which were shaky! Great Job! Keep up The Good Work!

[@FrenchVries]

Sweet damn, rented a 2015 Suburban a few days back and it was AWESOME. LT model, loads of goodies, loved it. Damn the size of the thing is ridiculous but so cool haha.

[@slimjimandpepsi]

I know you like the center console shifter and all 4 wheel ind suspension, but you got to remember that this is a truck, not a sports car or a sedan.

[@Pelley4560]

I am glad GM has stuck to body on frame, solid rear axle, and 4X4 (not AWD).

[@xDaimstarX]

that escaladed quickly

[@7Fields16]

Great review, and a very beautiful car.

[@7Fields16]

Yes.

[@form109]

I find it incredibly funny that at 19:01 the competition at infiniti just happened to pass by LOL.

[@Itheman123456789]

I've been hearing that the new Escalade is not reliable. Is it true? Seems unexpected.

[@RandySoWavvy]

Itheman123456789 yup it's true they are money pits and will have you constantly at the mechanics. 2014 and down don't nearly have as many problems most complaints are the rims after awhile will rust or start to mess up the tires causing the tires to leak and loose pressure.

[@2H2521]

@Itheman123456789 What Escalade has ever been reliable outside of the first gen ones?

[@abilashuthayabaskaran2954]

i like the old escalade better

[@jorgealonzo8535]

Nice vid dude. Would like to see tours of Jaguars lineup, especially the FType. Any plans of setting up with a Jag dealer up there?

[@kellywinehouse265]

never mind

[@jorgealonzo8535]

Not at all, I'm a big fan, especially his older, opinionated vids. Was asking a serous question.

[@kellywinehouse265]

sorry

[@JayJohnPaul]

Love the column mounted shifter!

[@credales17]

Wish you had the volume up @ 7:38 .That's one of my favorite songs

[@Intechdude300]

[@Beun007]

I like the dashboard sooo much!!! WOW!

[@gloriadring9721]

My mom has this car and it's DOPE af👌🏽

[@MrAlwaysbored1000]

I really don't care for that gauge cluster. It may just be the camera, but it looked like it was lacking when he was reving it. and another thing, it's stupid they didn't come standard with sun roofs.

[@MJ4cars97]

Nice review!

[@mukandy23]

One thing that bothers me is that everything is LED lighted except for the front turn signals.

[@dizzykfcman]

Please do a review on a 2015 Hyundai Genesis

[@clover7359]

18:09 DO THAT FOR EVERY REVIEW!!!

[@Intechdude300]

Oh I discovered the sharp turning radius after having made many u-turns during the money shots clips of the Escalade in Motion.

[@salmanhssan4358]

I have my own this monster and its awesome😍😍😜

[@taker610]

Wow 3 ELRs in stock? Perhaps they are doing a special, something like buy an Escalade and get an ELR at half-price? But I guess when you have a cash cow like the Escalade you can afford to have blunders like the ELR.

[@mrkongsimr]

Nice review , I have never thought of the Escalade a car for me , but there is so much to it. I didn´t now that the hoppy feeling is because of the axle . My old Jaguar XJS has that and it probably does not have independent suspension . Do you think that´s right ?? Thank´s

[@Intechdude300]

I wish. But it can be exhausting. I put over 20 hours of work into Editing. More than that was put into this one. It gets tiring & I need my break away from the computer screen sometimes

[@Intechdude300]

Actually the hoppy feeling that I was getting at is generally a motion that every car with a solid/live rear axle suffers from which translates to the body. You'll get it in any pickup truck, 2014 and older mustangs and anything else with that suspension setup, nothing to do with the tire size. I've driven dozens of Tahoes, Yukons, & Escalades with 17, 18, 20, and 22 inch wheels and it really doesn't make any difference other then making the ride stiffer, more stable, but unfortunately with additional wheel hop because of the thinner rubber but that's a downfall you'd get with any car. IRS would've virtually eliminated the motion I was talking about.

[@mrkongsimr]

Well , that was very nice ! Think I understand it now better. It´s so nice to see your handsome face and I like the latest reviews . Thank´s

[@hellkizzy_Dom1x]

Me wearing a size 12. “Jeez your feet are big” 💀💀

[@YOMOSA]

GREAT vehicle!

[@A_guan]

Please review the Mercedes GL I want to see how it does against this

[@Charlie10903]

I passed by there a month ago, lol.

[@fmuldar]

You forgot too mention that its the most "stolen" car in the USA-----ie-----the TV show "The Bait Car"

[@johgreen05]

Good Review

[@davesmith3052]

I have a 2013 that I love..... This one, not so much. To me it looks like a hearse and I hate the rear tail lights.

[@KeiDoesManyThings]

Them Volvo taillights though...

[@2010drive]

They look pretty good in person.

[@ramone.alvarez9887]

una JOYA !!!

[@Acelapower1224]

Let's pay 20 grand extra for some Cadillac badges on a chevy tahoe

[@Intechdude300]

While it's easy to look at it that way, there's lots to be had with the Escalade that differentiates it from the Tahoe. An LTZ Tahoe starts around $62K, roughly $10K from a base Escalade, you are still stuck with the weaker 5.3L V8, you don't get magnetic ride control, & you don't get as upscale of an interior along with the presence the Escalade offers.

[@adrianmurguia3128]

***** your so right.

[@thereallifez]

***** and 6.2 liter vs tahoe 5.3

[@ThePopfrazz]

Since GM introduced the Yukon Denali and Escalade in the late 90's, all their truck/SUV interiors have been the same. It wasn't until 2007 that they really started changing up body panels, and now 2015 when they started changing up interior. Instead of the same old copy & paste interior I think GM stepped up their game when it comes to the 2015 Escalade. And now the Esclade will come with an 8-speed auto transmission, I think a lot of Range Rover, Infiniti, & Lexus buyers will seriously consider making the switch.

[@IVEMER]

$75k for a base Escalade sounds over the top their fully loaded version would costs $100k for $75k or less, imo , get a fully loaded yukon xl denali it has the same 6.2l v8 and 4wd like the escalade it's the brand that makes it more expensive i like escalades, but for the price and power of a v8, yukon ftw

[@keang168]

i like this 1

[@KDK-ec1en]

I come from China, I like Cadillac, especially the Escalade, Escalade I liked! Support Escalade! In my eyes, the safety factor safety factor of European and American car than Asian high! I believe that General! I hate Japan, South Korea's auto companies! General gave me the impression that tall and mighty, a sense of security, but Asian car production in Japan and Korea but feel insecure, collision coefficient is far worse than the European and American cars! If I have a lot of money, I would choose the European and American production car, in China, there are many rich people choose European and American cars, this is the advantage of European and American cars, and get more people to choose from! Security, run fast, high stability performance, luxury, luxury, has Europe aristocratic lineage!

[@gulfmen86]

i think cadillac dropped the ball on the design. I think this is the first time in Tahoe history that it beats the Escalade.

[@marc1093280]

The Escalade is a nice car, but I still prefer the Range Rover.

[@starxlr7863]

marc1093280 It might be nice but its not a Cadillac. Its more or less a glorified over-priced Chevy

[@juanarias8643]

DO THE CT6 !!!

[@TekTom]

its the 3rd gen

[@frankmagana1408]

Its the 4th 1. GMT-400 Escalade 99-2000 2. GMT-800 Escalade 2001-2006 3. GMT-900 Escalade 2007-2014 4. GMT-K2xx Escalade 2015-present

[@xLuiKangx007]

Cool Suv

[@ИванБубликов-ь4л]

Мечта, а не машина!!!

[@doodskie999]

no IRS, expedition/navigator has IRS and has better towing, this still has that cramped 3rd row, stuttering LCD, column shifter reminds us of some old work trucks, so FORD WINS! Oh yeah, you dont buy this to show your wealth, you buy a range rover instead.

[@KingFeraligator]

I think what he meant by " You buy this to show your wealth" is that there is no real reason to buy this over a Tahoe/Suburban or Yukon/Yukon XL other than the fact that you CAN.

[@jakefedele4421]

Makin Bacon not gonna lie, i'm kinda with you on that. It's sort of a manly operation... Idk why but it just makes me feel a little badass xD lmao

[@WheelsRCool]

doodskie999 Column shifter is fine. Independent rear suspension used to be inferior due to lack of cargo-carrying capability---it still is overall, hence why pickup trucks and full-size vans still have them. Maybe it gives the Escalade a higher weight carrying capability than the Expedition/Navigator (I don't know how towing relates to a solid rear axle). But for road handling, IRS is better.

[@diapersFTMFW11]

doodskie999 Well, ya know .. that's just like... your opinion, man.

[@BigLou874]

Yea he is hot

[@super7959]

The gay Howie Mandel

[@PharaohofKemet]

Chris Magarian People are entitled to there opinion, it makes you look immature to not understand that

[@caddyman07]

I know. He is hot. His voice is horribly boring though. He only kept my attention because he stated he had a size14 shoe! lol

[@caddyman07]

Chris Magarian First of all, dumb ass, a Fiancé is a MAN and a Fiancée is a WOMAN. So you really are basically saying you are gay. Second of all, that doesn't mean sh*t if you meant Fiancée (woman). Just because you sleep with a woman doesn't mean your straight it just means your penis works. How do I know? I'm gay and I have a daughter. Go have a seat. #byeFelicia

[@starxlr7863]

I don't even consider this a Real Cadillac. This is the next worst mistake Cadillac made since the Cimarron in the 80s.

[@frankmagana1408]

You sound so stupid. This vehicle is the reason why cadillac is still around today. All of their 70 year old customers died off, and it was time to take on the germans, and they did a pretty good job.

[@starxlr7863]

Frank Magana Yes your right! This is the only vehicle that I believe is keeping Cadillac around. But personally I would go with the Chevrolet or GMC. Don't get me wrong, it very sharp looking and very well built. GM brought in the Cadillac Escalade because of the different age of buyers. But Cadillac needs to still offer a legendary Cadillac like the Eldorado, Deville or Seville in there lineup. The other new Cadillac cars are not doing well as they were even 10 years ago. Even those older buyers still appreciate a nice big and ultra luxury car and currently Cadillac and Lincoln offer nothing at the moment.

[@frankmagana1408]

+AMCNorthstar 93 they have the ct6 and xts. The ct6 is huge, not as bug at the fleetwood, but its getting there

[@ReplayRayy]

I like that 😏

[@Rare92Mustang]

HATE those tail lights. Hideous.

[@2010drive]

I thought the same thing when I first saw them...But after seeing them in person I think they're quite nice.

[@Rare92Mustang]

Shifter, not EVERYTHING has to be sporty. I'm so sick of seeing "explorer sport" or "corolla sport". Such an oxymoron.
