Is the Cadillac Escalade showing its age? Would you take it over the Navigator? Telluride? Palisade?

[@hassannadeem7923]

not really

[@CapELarry]

This thing is a glaring reminder of why GM had so many troubles in the past. The interior is awful, especially considering the price.

[@MysteriousMatt89]

No. I would take the Lincoln, Or the Mercedes GLS. Are you gonna review that or have you already?

You meant tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo affordable

[@thebbiddim882]

The best value out of all three is the Yukon Denali. That's what I'd choose if I was in the market for one. If you have the extra money AND you want others to know it, then buy the Escalade, if you can't afford either you buy the Tahoe.

no air suspension in a $100k+ 2019 SUV is actually ridiculous

[@TitanSKiZlz]

didafm because reliability is the most important thing for the type of people that but this car...

Cypress Thunder since ive been alive we have had 6 GM’s, arguably 7, possibly 8. 4 buicks, all company cars that got thrashed and worked flawlessly when my dad turned them in because the lease was up. My moms car, a 2004 yukon, well we bought it new and it still gets daily driven. Then theres my dads 2016 terrain. No problems so far, he’s almost had it for 3 years. Then there the 09 vibe which was a complete piece of shit(it wasnt a gm car though), and the 8th one well my 01 isuzu trooper, which i bought off a friend years ago but at the time it was sold GM had a 51% stake in isuzu. A lot of the electronics under the hood were delphi(GM) and theyve lasted 19 years. The parts that have failed were japanese or german, like the starter and the abs pump. They’re reliable in my book

[@punnequraq]

Frank Magana my family has had 5. my grandma’s 02 trailblazer throws a new check engine light every other week, and my uncle’s 16 suburban does the same thing. my parents used to have a 13 silverado and a 12 lacrosse, both had to have multiple trans rebuilds until we got rid of them both in 17. finally, my sister’s old 15 acadia’s water pump went out the week after she got it, and it’s had a bunch of random electrical problems since. doesn’t seem like a very reliable company, that’s why we went to ford :)

Casey Todd you’re seriously comparing a brand new redesigned navigator to a 6 year old Escalade?? Where’s the logic?

[@caseytodd7632]

@@mybro727 I think you should be asking Cadillac that question. That's the whole point. The current iteration is dated and overpriced. 100k plus for this? If it were priced at 60-70, sure. But by leaving it with a premium sticker, Cadillac is saying that it is comporable to other vehicles with the same price tag; the Navigator Black Label. Which, it is not. Caddy either needs to cut the price by 25% or do a ground up redesign.

And twin turbo V6 in new Navigator is uncompareable with 6.2 L V8 from Escalade

[@G0ddEityawesome]

Jose Manuel the column shifter is the ugliest part of this car

[@jaredstaggs]

I think the light that shines on the ground is off center because that's where you are supposed to put your foot for the "lift gate assist". If I'm not mistaken, I think the new Blazer has something like that, off center.

[@buzzkill753]

How is GM still a company I don't understand

[@ers1027]

The Cadillac logo on the ground is to show you where to kick for the hands free tailgate in the dark. It is supposed to be off centered so that the door does not hit you.

[@DavidELD]

@TheStraightPipes I drove my LS430 down cliche corner the other day. I thought that wasn’t a good idea with such a big car. That road has some hidden tire popping ditches. Very narrow lanes. You guys are nuts for sending an Escalade down it. Mad props to you, would love to catch you guys around sometime!

[@TheStraightPipes]

😉

[@andrelima5124]

This great SUV needs to be redesigned from the ground up Navigator puts it on shame

[@BrawndoQC]

I test drove both, ended up with the Escalade. Speak for yourself.

[@andrelima5124]

@@BrawndoQC Maybe you're not interested in tech features or design I don't know. The Escalade has an N/A V8 wich can be not as fast like the 3.5 TT V6 but is a reliable engine. But when it comes to performance/tech and comfort features/interior luxury and design.....the Navigator is better and I'm not speaking for myself, that's a fact.

[@BrawndoQC]

@@andrelima5124 If there's something in the Escalade that I'm missing (I've the Platinum), let me know. I don't like the look of the Navigator nor the spaceship interior. I never use a sunroof so I don't mind about panoramic. Maybe massage for second row. That's about it. I've no issues arguing that the Aviator is superior to the XT6 but when it comes to full size, to me Escalade is still the king. I also much prefer the sound of a 6.2 N/A V8 than the 3.5 TT. About tech features, I'm a CTO, there's enough tech for me in there.

[@2railnation]

Some people are too incompetent to understand how bad GM vehicles are.

[@BrawndoQC]

@@2railnation , what do you drive?

[@xxigilz]

4:30 I dont know if someone corrected you guys yet, But i just wanted to point out, that light has a purpose and it's for the hands free sensor where you put your foot there. It seems confusing at first, But that's what it is! Love the Videos!

[@loransantos6647]

Wished they use some rap song about driving an Escalade... but okay

[@mikenormandy9250]

It just shows you how behind the times GM is - Great video guys, I love when Jakub rants!

[@asianmanrules6]

The navigator blows the Cadillac out of the water. But I would rather get the GMC Yukon Denali

[@paulh2990]

Adrian de leon thats what i did and i love it

[@nukeman444]

That 2021 Yukon AT4 is a much better value compared to the Escalade. We didn't even factor in the Navigator.

[@ninjasupersport]

That not true that ugly ass truck

[@jackbroggi9437]

Naw the Cadillac is amazing

[@jacobreed47]

FCA- Chrysler,Dodge,Jeep all have BluRay players and HDMI inputs to their Full HD screens. My SNES Mini Classic plays and looks soooo cool in my Pacifica and Durango.

i like the column shifters on the big vehicles, it feels natural to be there

[@elin1992]

The cadillac logo projector in the back is to show you where you open the truck when you kick under the car

[@faded039]

Cadillac: I am luxurious and have amazing quality *jakub turns red*

[@flexipino]

been driving my caddy with CUE for 2 years and the infotainment system is no problem once you get used to it. I can understand someone that feels the way you do if you have it for a rental period

[@tmanepic]

7:53 Yuri's smile 😂

[@Stressless2023]

Love the hidden dashboard compartment, the electronic "button" to open the glove box, and the V8 under the hood. That's it. Oh and I'm not that spoiled, I don't mind pushing the door handle button to unlock the door instead of proximity door handles.

[@oneobjective5448]

Kevskipops is a living legend

[@delevainwhitehurst3856]

Well the glowing logo shows you were to kick to open the trunk, in which almost every car u have to kick off to the side so it makes perfect sense. They make it way to notice where to kick to open it.

[@TheStraightPipes]

How do I notice it in 95% of my driving situations during the day time? 😂

[@jamelrosser]

Government motors don’t care about their customers 🤷🏾‍♂️ just greed

[@jamelrosser]

Alex Plumey I know what it means just do some research on General motors . You will understand why I used that term. If the government has to help out a multi-million dollar company all because they don’t have good quality control then that’s definitely not a great sign.

[@nihselauto]

Dude, ever since GM got bailed out by the Obama admin, they had to do what the administration had to say. Quality went out the window once the govt got involved. Plus the CAFE standards ruined everything in the automotive end.

[@lukenukem1207]

I come back to this every once and awhile to listen to Jakub shit on escalades.

[@StgVirus1]

Wow, it only fits 16 boxes. The Lincoln it Now much better in every way.

[@abarther14]

I grew up in the back of a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, exact same quality rear entertainment screens as then

[@ScandalCuracao]

In this Class, Definitely Lincoln. The Cadilac lost it's Charm....

[@G0ddEityawesome]

ScandalCuracao too bad the Lincoln doesn’t look as badass from the outside

[@ScandalCuracao]

@@G0ddEityawesome yeah but Inside counts bigtime (for me). You could always tweak outside a lil bit.

[@jahimuddin7380]

@@G0ddEityawesome, When you drive an SUV that is in the six figure range it really does not matter how not so badass it looks.

[@Radi0he4d1]

I honestly like quirks like a column shifter, they remind you of how this is a well-dressed all-American kick-ass truck.

[@ricelife6336]

This brand is a joke right now...Look at the Lincoln Navigator and the difference is outrageous.
