Kirk, At 0:37 you have recorded a very historical moment. This may be the first time in history a driver of a new Escalade was jealous of a Sienna. 😉

[@Paddleinc]

My wife just got the Yukon Denali with the duramax. She’s so happy with it and the kids love it. She said she would never drive a minivan again.

[@CruiseControl1]

If you have the money why not, for me and my family of 6 our 2014 Honda Pilot Touring AWD works great in Colorado. Plus after 130,000 miles I have averaged a not terrible 20.4 mpg, mainly city driving. Very reliable, a bit short on modern tech but other than that we love it. I do wish Honda would make the new Pilot a hybrid though.

[@inchlorIentztJiIu]

Escalade drives better than the new Tahoe high country and Denali Ultimate. The Cadillac Escalade has dual coil Dampers vs single coil dampers on the Tahoe and Denali. Also the Escalade suspension is tuned different and it offers motorized, self leveling projection LED headlights. Escalade is very different and is on another level if you ask me.

[@satya_kartik8795]

I came here to watch beast Cadillac's review, but i am impressed with your community place it's green and superb. Btw your family is cute 😊.

[@faheemabbas3965]

If reliability and off-roading aren’t a concern… the Escalade every day.

[@mrgurulittle7000]

Agree. It’s everything you need.

[@videobb11]

How reliable is that cylinder deactivation feature?

[@joecommenter1332]

When you're spending over $100k on a car, I don't see how reliability can't be a concern, unless you are in the top 1% in wealth.

[@sueddo2634]

@@joecommenter1332this exactly. I see comments all the time stating that people shouldn’t care about paying for repairs if they can afford a 100k+ car. Reliability is a luxury feature and people who can afford expensive cars didn’t come to their financial position by blowing money aimlessly.

[@ken51O]

The Rolex is not the most reliable nor is it the most accurate. Just saying

[@omendarklight1526]

😂 Hell no, I know they're game. LX 600 all the way everyday.

Yes, so true. The LX is superior!

[@insayn7995]

This is clearly superior in every way, stop being delusional.

[@avdp9095]

[@inchlorIentztJiIu]

@@avdp9095 Because it is superior than most, if not all SUVs. Not even the Range Rover has as much driver focused tech and features. The Range Rover is only better in the second row.

no matter the road presence, Lexus still wins over any GM models for quality... Just wait 3 to 4 years and see where any Lexus SUV vs GM SUV sits with $$$ value and maintenance. Would not mind renting one.

i have a 16 year old Escalade which runs fine i still love it has the 6.2 Gas Engine my Escalade is Fast

It's too big for me, but its features attract me to take a closer look at XT6, especially the future VISTIQ. Thank you for the review!

[@christianalvarez7799]

Why are the streets so narrow?

[@huss1205]

This car in black fur the last two years suddenly became the one to buy by rich folks in Iraq. Luxury, comfort, quiet cabin and a powerful engine, and you do not care for fuel consumption when the petrol is sold for for 30cents/L.

Can you please do a review on a 2023 chevy traverse lt cloth I’m thinking abt getting it

[@RossVesci]

How many kids do you have Kirk happy new year

[@RossVesci]

What color is your Escalade

[@quangchung2281]

Kirk, does your 24 escalade rear entertainment system have the ability to send map destinations to drivers as on 21 models? I can't find that featured on mine.

[@toronado455]

If this Cadillac Chevy Tahoe costs $115k I can't even imagine what the IQ version will go for.

[@zz6761]

Does second row seat has leg rest? Like lounge seat? Or is it an option from manufacturer?

[@petejansen7220]

My son has a2017 Escalade,such a Wonderful smooth riding ,handling and responsive 6.2 L engine. A pleasure driving for sure,too bad the reliability could be way better. Hopefully in the new Escalades they have addressed the reliability issues, especially when your paying well over 110K ,which I feel is overpriced

[@kywoodrd1]

No 1 touch up and down in the back!?!? Nope. Too simple of am option to miss. Especially at that proce point. Thank you for the review!!

[@MarkDangerfield-yk2bc]

I see the way

[@mrgurulittle7000]

I’m liking Cadillac more, especially their performance CT4.

Good service. Food was the most average tex-mex I've had. Don't get me wrong, Tacos were good, but better than how I can make them? Not so sure.

[@SadamQa-z4c]

[@benstanlogisticsllc.1410]

LX600 has the Escalade beat when it comes to reliability Period. My only complaint is why won't Lexus make the LX600 bigger? Forget the self driving super cruise. Just build the LX600 bigger. With the 3rd row seat up, there is no trunk space. With that being said....I bought the Escalade ESV V... I will just trade every 3 years, whereas if I had the Lexus, I could keep it 15 to 20 years.....

[@normanli7085]

Well thats why Lexus has the TX now because interior wise, its closer in dimensions to an Escalade unlike the LX. However, the ESV version really only has 2 other competitors: and they are other extended American luxury full size SUVs

[@inchlorIentztJiIu]

No thank you, I’ll take the Escalade each and every time. The Lexus is boring and the tech lacking in comparison to the mighty Escalade. The Lexus is good but the Escalade is on a whole different level. Sorry but driving a Cadillac Escalade is all about how it make you feel 👑🤷‍♂️

my Escalade is cute too also

[@saranrathakrish8468]

How does this compare to the navigator or Range Rover

[@KirkKreifels]

This is way better than the navigator we tested. Not even close.

[@kevinnorris6558]

​@@KirkKreifelsWas it a smoother ride because of the Engine? I figure that the Escalades naturally aspirated V8 would probably give you a smoother ride than the turbo V6 in the Lincoln

[@inchlorIentztJiIu]

These days The new Escalade is better then both. The Range rover is only better in the second row

[@hunttx19]

Why the hell would you put 3 kids in a Cadillac? 😂 they probably trashed it. Paid 135k for it and it’ll be worth 40k in 3 years 😂

[@ivankorth4458]

I’m shocked you’d pick the Escalade over an Lx 600 . But I guess if you don’t care about resale it’s ok

Cadillac's line up, hidious in my opinion, almost Suv only. Same for Lincoln. Gm and Ford have ruined the rich heritage of Cadillac and Lincoln with these cars. No uktra luxurious sedans anymore like the Fleetwood, Seville, Town Car etc, thise were the days. Salesfigures of Cadillac and Lincoln says it all, in a freefall.

[@toronado455]

I agree. But nobody is buying sedans right now. So what are they to do?

[@avdp9095]

@@toronado455 Es sells very good, LS not however, S class, 7 series, E class, 5 series, they all sell well worldwide. But to compete with these giants you have to invest billions in technic etc.....a truck is far less complicated....better margins. And Gm and Ford have neglected the sedan segment from the mid 90's.... . Have a look at Orlando classics website....Google it, magnificent the old school Us Land Yachts.... . I miss these cars soery Yachts.

Sorry buddy. You are stuck in 1970
