2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV: FULL REVIEW + DRIVE | 19-Feet of Pure Opulence!

[@CarConfections]

$102,000 and the length of a semi, is the Escalade ESV Platinum the best luxury SUV out there? Let us know your thoughts below, and be sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT below :)

[@andrewl3847]

Car Confections no. I like the exterior better than the Navi, but the interior on the black label, dang. No competition here folks

[@stevenjohnson4207]

@@andrewl3847 Agreed Cadillac has a timeless Cadillac shield design which is 10 years ahead of it's time in my opinion but Lincoln is the standard for American full size luxury SUV interior.

[@humadeesaleh4917]

Car Confections what’s the sticker on the glove box it’s on every car

[@CarConfections]

Its just a warning about the airbags, which is required by law to be there

[@shadowjester13]

What is the music used for the audio sample?

[@RhettButlersMom]

This video is THE BEST I have watched on the 2019 Cadillac Escalade Premium Luxury! VERY thorough and detailed. I will reference this video when I am learning about my “new to me Escalade”. Thank you so much! I am purchasing a 2019 Cadillac Escalade Premium Luxury ~ Fully Loaded, one owner, low mileage, garaged, always serviced and maintained. I was looking for a Tahoe and a car dealership was looking for a Tahoe for me because I had an exterior and interior color I would not settle on. He sent me mutiple vehicles for months but they were not the “right” one. He called me recently and was so excited to tell me he found the perfect vehicle for me! He sent photos and it was what I wanted and soooooooo much more! When I went to drive the Escalade, I could absorb all the features and after watching this video I know he did not tell me 3/4 of them 😂 While I was watching this video I kept saying “what?”😂

[@bennettvu957]

In my opinion, I feel like the new Lincoln Navigator has a better interior while the Escalade has a more bold and stylish exterior. Btw nice video 👍

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@yousaypotatoesisaypootato6977]

Bennett Vu ye your tight but both beautiful cars

[@philiphoward1731]

TheThe Lincoln navigator does not come with a V-8 engine that’s why I’m sticking with Cadilac

[@justinsmith2598]

Well Wait Until you See The 2020 Escalade Because It’s gonna be redesigned and The Interior Is gonna look better than the New Lincoln Navigator And The Outgoing Escalade!

[@TP-rs5zl]

The Lincoln interior didn't impress me for a $80,000 vehicle, it's the equivalent of an "Eco" version of a knockoff Escalade, simply not worth it. I prefer the Escalade for its generous portions of plush leather, real chrome finishes, cutting-edge infotainment, and beauty for $20,000 more. Though obviously I would never be able to afford it in the first place xD.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

My third Cadillac SUV!! Awesome job bro.

[@andybub45]

This thing is a luxury beast. Personally, I think it beats Navigator. Only thing I don't like is the touch sensitive buttons for the climate and radio, but otherwise its a great suv. I cant wait to see what GM does to make it even better for the new gen.

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Still my first used Cadillac Escalade to buy

[@maxgoettner]

Great video! I just bought this exact model as a leftover. This helps explain a few things I was trying to figure out.

[@Confidential619]

Dream car since I was a kid.

[@lolitacajucom1967]

That is perfectly and conveniently amazing large SUV. Gorgeous and comfortable vehicle. Very inspiring and impressive featured interior. Ideal car.

[@andrewl3847]

I hope they make a push button, dial, or lever transmission for 2020

[@1964corvan]

NO

[@andybub45]

No, column shifters are the best. They are all electronic but Column and standard shifters are the best. Column is the best for large vehicles to save storage space.

[@andrewl3847]

Andy's Shop but in a 100k dollar car

[@kevinnorris6558]

Drew Dude Hell yeah, part of the reason I like the Escalade is because it still has a column shifter. Most vehicles nowadays come with levers, buttons, and dials. The column shifter is still unique and classy.

[@BrawndoQC]

I personally like column shifters.

[@darriontunstall3708]

Great video guys!!! I love the 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV it's very sexy and sharp, my dad wants a Cadillac Escalade, I can't wait to see the next generation Escalade for 2020!! I can't wait for y'all next video. I may lease the 2020 Escalade!!

[@gtarules1]

It's being sold at a local dealership for $40k, at 100K miles, are these latest gen (or 2nd latest) known to last as well as the other gens? I'm talking about minimum 200k, but 300K would be fantastic!

[@MichaelBenninger]

I have had a 2005, 2008, 2013, now do I buy the 2019 or wait till 2020? Great car and people do not destroy them.

[@mitchk.1973]

Do these have issues? I really want to get one but was warned they have problems.

[@2W3X4YZ5]

Light colored Cadillac is always a good luck charm in Las Vegas, per my experience. Tell me about your experiences with start/stop and the cylinder deactivation on this model. I always disable both where possible. On recent GM vehicles, that can be accomplished by driving in M9 instead of D. Great review as always. Have you thought about an external mounted go pro for some of your test drive segments?

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! And I don't think it has auto start/stop??? The cylinder deactivation is seamless though

[@vdelrio999]

Great video. Though I would prefer a Lincoln or Ford, I would probably buy one or two.

[@ServicePortalGuy]

Not sure that I agree that this is the last year of this generation. The third generation went from 2007-2014, this generation was introduced in 2015...IMHO, they could easily keep this generation around until 2021 if a 7 year refresh (including 2015 as the first year of this generation) is their standard time frame.

[@j.jmcquade5278]

You were correct!

[@Jaymac720]

I’m so excited for the 2020 Escalade. It’s so gonna outshine the Navigator. Cadillac knows luxury in a way that no one else does. I just hope they up the reliability factor. It’s a sad day when Car and Driver predicts the Mercedes GLS to have above average reliability

[@stevenjohnson4207]

Unfortunately they haven't really updated this vehicle. I was hoping that they would stop using so much piano black plastic. The only upgrade is the column shifter which has a leather trim compared to the all plastic from last year. They have the same sunroof (no panoramic option). They need to stop with the plastic caps on the rims but I do love the rim design. This is like a 4 year old design. Granted Cadillac is know for timeless designs but this is starting to look outdated. Hopefully 2020 is the year of Change for Cadillac.

[@instasingingvids3529]

Johns Corey yes you definitely have to keep changing things up to stay in the luxury segment

[@Confidential619]

Well they probably have to save ideas for future upgrades. Just like any other company does.

[@denziiey]

the interior is so tacky!! the Escalade is a beautiful box on wheels then u get into that interior and you're instantly reminded it's just a trim above the surburban or denali. The Lincoln Navigator eats this for breakfast but this is still more stylish!

[@KarmaTheCat]

*nErD*

[@MoNoK15]

This is very nice 🙃 Your review fits the vehicle image... luxurious and flawless!! Keep it up guys 💯

[@CarConfections]

Haha thanks 😂

[@bizerker1497]

I have a Cadiillac Escalade now and it's a great truck. I'm looking to get a new one next year. But the only thing that might stop me is the interior of the dashboard. It's boring and outdated. My wife has a Mercedes and the interior is unbelievable and drives just as nice as the Escalade. The Escalade dashboard doesn't even come close. So hopefully the 2020 steps it up. This is just my opinion.

[@vietdragonGoD]

I love Cadillac forever

[@TP-rs5zl]

As a fan of luxury big comfy SUVs and cyberpunk music, the projected HUD helps really cement that "Modern" style. Though obviously I wouldn't be able to ever afford this wonderful beast xD.

[@ProHandsCompanies]

The Navigator absolutely crushes the Escalade in all the areas to me and we are a Cadillac fan!

[@davis6123]

Just wait for the 2020 Escalade!

[@yeseniasalinas8873]

I dont like the inside of the excalade i still get a 90s vibe from it really dident change much but the electronical stuff i do love its roomy and the space in the back is huge!

[@nicholasfailla2106]

It's overall great, but, seriously, halogen front turn signals??

[@andrewl3847]

Are they also redoing the Tahoe and Yukon for 2020?

[@curtisbrashaw7585]

Likely, considering they are so similar and most of their last generations were linked up

[@la_cantoradelrey]

Of course 🤗🤗

[@nickl8199]

they arent redoing any of the gm full size suv’s for 2020. they had made a mistake and they are redesigning them for 2021

[@khoatran9482]

Just wanted to clarify. The rear suspension is air for the self leveling.

[@RaphahShophar]

Nice. The tan color makes it look beeeautiful.

[@JamesJordan-mz3nn]

She said it's too much beige inside. Too much leather. She's not driving a platinum, that's where you get the suede, and leather interior

Gorgeous car i had a 16' esv and i can say it is great except A) column shifter sucks B) don't buy the platinum you can get a nice one for 68-75k (under MSRP)

[@cisco9027]

The Navigator absolutely crushes the Escalade in all the areas to me and I’m a Cadillac fan and what the heck is with that out dated column shifter a deal breaker for me this is how Lincoln lost its way years ago with the Navigator by resting on their laurels the Escalade is nice the Navigator class leading.

[@skyforce2132]

Which do you think is better Cadillac Escalade platinum or Lincoln Navigator Black label?

[@Noah-ui1iu]

The touch capacitive buttons are a mess and terribly distracting. Ford tried this with the fusion and went back to physical buttons. I’ve used that exact same setup in the XTS and it is a pain to use to do simple tasks like adjusting volume or changing the HVAC.

[@sharkheadism]

EVERYONE complains about them but Cadillac has stuck with them year after year, they're bullshit imo

[@ForTehNguyen]

this is definitely starting to show its age against the Navigator

[@sharkheadism]

Definitely

[@shahrukhabbas7687]

Its not bad looking its too long and boxy that's what I mean and the interior quality of the lx 570 is far better than the escalade.

[@lindadozier.3891]

I love cadillac chevy buick and GMC

[@munkhbatmoog903]

I wish they had changed the gear lever like button or something l and the second row could adjustable front and backward for more leg rooms in the 3rd row oassengers

[@j.jmcquade5278]

I love the Escalades but don't like the shifter up on the steering wheel. Just never liked that setup. Feels old technology, like I'm driving my old 90s Chevy pickup truck. I like the shifter in the center console. And who would use the manual +/- shifter in that position? Yes, paddle shifters make sense. This setup makes no sense. That said, it's still an Escalade and beautiful. Drove one around for a week and loved it. Just can't stand that steering wheel column shifter!
