Nothing can beat the presence of the Escalade. Yes, the Navigator has a better interior but the exterior doesn‘t have this „wow“-effect.

Is it a better quality interior or just in terms of design?

[@Xg78]

Andrés Paniagua Design, idk how the quality is.

[@m.r.9336]

Never seen such a detailed review. As a petrolhead, I loved it! The thing about the Escalade, why it's been so famous among so many cultures, is not just its size or the branding. It is simply the uniqueness, presence, and thrill it has. You'd wonder what people would do with a 7-seater full-size luxury American SUV, and believe me, you can do a lot. Probably everything as long as it's capable which it certainly is.

Many people say thats an ugly car , that the Lincoln is better. But I love the rear lights and I prefer a 6.2L V8 rather than a 3.5 eco boost. If they get rid of those rear headlights for 2021 Im not buying it🥺

[@relaxationstation7374]

I absolutely must have this new 2021 Escalade, however, the Escalade needs a softer ride or at least a softer ride suspension adjustment option and Cadillac needs to bring back that big, glass, touchscreen, center console that they had in the Escalade Trucks that they discontinued!

In God's grace I will have that car soon. Greetings from Philippines mabuhay!

[@2W3X4YZ5]

Hi guys. Great review. I am not a fan of this Escalade. I said it to Autogefühl, and I’ll say it to y’all. I see GM cutting features while exponentially raising the price. If they were brand new, side by side, I’d take a 2004 ESV Platinum long before this one, at less than half the price. Look at TODAYS owner reviews for it and see what I am talking about. The new one: third row discomfort. I have a 2 year old Mazda CX-9, and get compliments on how comfortable the third row seats are. No one I know likes the third row in the new Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade. Why not make it softer, and elevate it off the floor a few inches, and make more of these SUV’s with comfort enhanced second row bench seats? That’s the way I think a Cadillac should be. Not sure about the vehicles they are making now.

[@MrThegreatest97]

The Escalade generation your talking about was the last “unique” Escalade, they had sculpted wheel arches which made it really stand out from the Tahoe / Yukon I dislike how slab sided these are making the GM triplets less distinctive. By 2007 The GMT-900 was still a let down with no IRS or Powerfold seats something it’s competitor has had since 2003..side by side a 2004 has more aesthetics than the present models hopefully the next gen can remove that outdated column shifter and provide unique door / wheel arches atleast..

[@2W3X4YZ5]

@Corey Adams 100% concurrence. They ran SO good too. Didn’t the ESV 900’s get the IRS that the Suburban and Avalanche had?

[@MrThegreatest97]

2W3X4YZ5 no no no GM has never offered IRS ever on their SUVS although its rumored for next gen they decided to add powerfold seats in 2015 both features the Expedition has had since 2003, so basically a second generation 2003 - 2006 Navigator / Expedition still competes with newer GM SUVs in terms of features.. the consumers will be applauding GM for IRS when yet again Ford has already that tech for improved passenger seating and a lower loading floor, the GMT-900 “look nice” but they are fundamentally the same 1990s SUV in comparison to Ford giving you substantial updates every generation... Ford would’ve slaughtered the GM SUVS with their latest generation but they designed the engine bay not to feature a V8 so if GM can give me IRS, Powerfold seats and get rid that column shifter they may actually have a Expedition competitor for the first time in years..

[@2W3X4YZ5]

@Corey Adams My mistake. I was thinking the coil spring rear suspension. GM needs to stop the cost cutting measures if they are going to keep raising their prices.

[@appstate1996]

Good review. However, no reviewers, including yourself, demonstrate how to use the button on the steering wheel to select the different screens and functions of the instrument cluster. My wife just purchased an Escalade and we cant get the display the way we want it.

[@Benjamin06267485]

it is a 2020 model but the vibes are from 2006. Old tech and interior. It is very behind the competition. Maybe in 2021 they redesign ALL. THANKS GUYS FOR MAKING AWESOME VIDEOS
