2021 Cadillac Escalade // HANDS-DOWN the BEST Escalade Ever Built! (in-depth review)

[@kennethmerritt3203]

I have to say I stumbled onto your channel, because I'm going to buy this vehicle, so I was doing some research. I have to say I have seen a lot of reviews of the 2021 Escalade even by the manufacturer, but I found that your review was one of most informative reviews that I've seen to date. Thank you for helping me with my decision . Keep up the good work.

[@CarConfections]

We're glad to hear that! Thanks so much! 😁

[@KingBaldEagle1984_Prosperity]

I love the interior of the Escalade , the whole update of design inside and out . Cadillac really stepped up their game with this .

[@hellkitty1014]

GREAT REVIEW GUYS! Cadillac has restated their dominance in this class. While it is not for everyone, it can't be lost on anyone how large of a quantum leap in technology, refinement, construction, and relevance this new vehicle is overall. Small touches like the screen animation at start-up, with the light dance on the rear taillights really show that Cadillac, at LONG LAST, understands those details matter in the luxury game. Given that this is only a first step up from the base model, it is a slam dunk. The space utility, comfort, interior design, aesthetic, etc, all seems to be carefully throughout. This is all before we get to the ride/driving experience. The switch to IRS, suspension type, choice of air-ride, and other things seems to add up to a very pleasant experience. I don't see the Escalade coming off its top perch any time soon, even as good as the Navigator is, Cadillac just keeps finding ways to one-up it.

[@kbw.rvwhntr]

That's great that you two were invited way out of town to do that review. If you had to spend the night, hope you were able to sanitize the room of wherever the lodging was. I haven't stayed in a hotel or let alone been anywhere out of town since this crazy pandemic. But Cadillac hit a home run with this one! That huge dashboard and the speakers on the headrest is what really stands out on the inside.

[@CarConfections]

It was our first overnight trip since March...but yes, lots of sanitization and masks to stay safe! Have a great week!

Another information homerun. Production, and presentation values top tier. Best yet. You've become the dynamic duo. For me, yours is the most thorough and concise in-depth description to date. The dealer should give your brand a loner for a road trip when stock arrives. Looking forward to less, equal, and better feature and benefit comparisons to top few class competitors. Well done. Thank you both.

Drew and Mason, this first look at the 2021 Escalade on your channel was EVERYTHING even though there was no test drive, the first look was excellent regardless. The 38in. OLED screen came off great from your camera onto my phone, I'm going to watch from my TV next. The front camera system in real time and high res is incredible 😮. 19 speaker audio system sounds great, but the 36 speakers that would be quite the experience I'm sure. Drew and Mason, you two dress up very well 👌. God bless.

By the way the platinum also has this all white like interior where the seats are like a parchment beige color and the dash is like a light gray color and it has like a light wood trim if you look at the online configurator.

Awesome job on the review!! I just ordered the 2021 Escalade that they say I will get at the end of the year or first of next year because I wanted the "Super Cruse" option. I will be trading in my 2017 Escalade Platinum ESV. I have watched several reviews and it really bugs me when the person doing the review knows nothing about Escalade and obviously does no research before their video. I was just invited to a private tour of the Escalade and although the Cadillac rep was obviously well informed and did a great job on the tour of the Escalade, I think your review was even better! Dark Moon Blue with jet Black/Dark Auburn Mondrian Quilting w/Bitter Lace Wood on a Platinum ESV Sport Model with 22" Multi spoke Polished and Dark Android Finish. Not to be trivial and maybe a little inature, but the sound system is phenomenal! Thanks for the great review!!!

I rented a 2020 Platinum Escalade ESV and LOVED it! So, I was eagerly anticipating this new model as a potential buy, but I HATE the exterior style changes (well many of them)...the last generation looked better. No buy

[@amininshassi6370]

I LOVE the exterior changes, and I wouldn't say no to a vehicle just because of the exterior. The headlights are gorgeous, and the vertical LED taullights are a statement. The dusl exhaust tips are a nice touch too. I'm totally open-minded about change. At least Cadullac addressed so many complaints of the outgoinf model, the new one is a HUGE improvement, not only from the old Escalade, but from the other Cadillacs in their current lineup as well. Bravo Cadillac!

[@jbmcdoogle]

Love the animated tail lights AND that the signal indicators in the back stayed amber. Too bad GMC went with red on the 2021 Denali. Even Chevy went with amber on the Tahoe!

It’s such a shame the level of quality and design was only reserved for the Escalade. Even their CT6 feels cheap with hard plastic, etc. The 2021 Escalade is probably the one and only GM product I’d ever consider buying now.
