2024 Cadillac Escalade VS Lexus LX600: Does Cadillac Have The Best Full Size SUV?

[@hmubtakir]

Sorry to say, it’s no-brainer the Lexus will last for a very long time and the maintenance cost is lower than the Cadillac. More importantly it has great resale value, amongst all the other brands.

[@DH-mp6fg]

Caddy looks so much better, but the Lexus for reliability.

[@gwendolynbrown9386]

I love the Lexus better👀

[@DavidBrown-jt7yi]

Two really nice vehicles. I like the Escalade, but I worry about all those electronics in the dash.

[@sunchaser999]

If I’m leasing one of these it will be the Escalade and it’s not even close for me.

[@dennissmith7214]

Nope it’s not close at all! 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@carltuckerson7718]

I actually like that Escalade wood but I can see that some people wouldn't be a fan. With the stripes, I don't know what kind of wood it is but anything with a grain, I'm a fan. I like the blacked-out Lexus wood also.

[@carltuckerson7718]

Also, gauge cluster and screens on the Cadillac are superior. IMO

[@hitmanshadowrecon9017]

JB, i appreciate your work ethic. Posting videos at 6am must be tough. Keep up the hard work.

[@djwilliams9842]

Yeah the Lexus nice but im gonna pick the Escalade. Maybe compare the Lexus to the Yukon Denali

[@dennissmith7214]

Yeah it’s not even close!

[@richardroundtree2022]

Still not a good comparison, the Yukon Denali interior still looks more rich, with way more new technology too, maybe the mid grade Tahoe is a good comparison, cause the High County version interior still looks better then the dull cramped (in comparison) Lexus especially for the 100 plus thousand they want for the Lexus.

[@djwilliams9842]

@@richardroundtree2022 yeah you right I wasn't even thinking about the Chevy Tahoe High Country.

[@gregorymakossomoussavou5834]

Compare the LX 600 to the Yukon Denali ? As each generation the Escalade will lose its value through time with a bad reputation about reliability while Lexus will retain its value, you'll become best friends with your local mechanics because you'll visit them all the time, so the Escalade of yours is not in the same league as the LX 600 which is a legendary, the legendary SUV by excellence.

[@thsihsav1]

Lexus any day. There’s no compromise when it comes to reliability.

[@SkywhiteChannel]

Ha! These engines on the Toyota are literally blowing up! There’s a recall. So what reliability are you talking about? If an engine blows up after 8,000 miles what do you call that?!?

[@richardroundtree2022]

@thsihsav1 wrong the Escalade is a GM Truck and ain't no Toyota truck ever been better then any GM truck, they might be better in cars but Toyota is way behind in trucks. why you never see a Toyota truck being really compared to a GM truck it's a FORD, or a DODGE, Toyota is left way behind blowing up an all kinds of other shit.

[@Blnd-tc9xf]

@@SkywhiteChannel my dads 2019 lx has went 50,000 km without any issue what are u talking about😹😹

[@Vince7503]

To me, a car at this price has to be reliable and retain value over time. With that in mind, there’s no comparison between the two. I just traded my 2021 Escalade in for a 2024 LX. I’m taking a bath on the Escalade, which I expected. The Lexus is in a different class in terms of build quality, fit, and finish. The only thing I can say about the Escalade is that it’s bigger. Had to replace the exhaust in the Escalade due to it not being installed correctly. I worry about the Escalade outside of warranty. Also, the value will plummet after three years for the Escalade. I’ve owned four Lexus’s and four Cadillacs. Needed a new engine in my XTS under warranty. Lots of warranty work on the caddy’s. Too many to mention here. Not a single repair on any Lexus or Toyota ever - period! The lx should run forever due to its engineering. Hey, if you lease, it doesn’t matter, but I’m a buyer and want to keep it, so the Lexus is it.

[@supporterofsanity]

Both look extremely nice to me. The Lexus is classy, and the Cadillac is flashy. L O L.

The Lexus will last longer and have a better resale value

[@fabiangomez9269]

Bought my wife a new Sport Platinum Escalade 14 months ago. What an amazing ride quality. The air suspension is unmatched. The interior cabin room is appreciated. So much elbow room. Captains chairs are great with 2 kids. Plenty of trunk room for long trips. All around…it’s a dream family hauler. We also got lucky and got the 3.0 baby diesel, wife gets 27mpg even with her lead foot. Buuuuut…the Escalade has been in the shop twice now. 1st time for transmission issue and now, the entire starter needs to be replaced. It’s on back order and truck has been sitting at the dealer for 2 weeks. We spent $130K OTD and I have REAL CONCERNS about its reliability long term. 19K miles and started is out? Like, really? 3 months ago I bought myself a ‘24 LX 600 F Sport. Yes, the Escalade is annoyingly roomier inside. The 2nd row is tight for my 2 kids, that is my biggest gripe with the LX 600. But, you can easily tell the difference in build quality. I am so confident my Lexus will outlast my wife’s Escalade. If Lexus introduces a hybrid version in a few years, I’ll probably trade for it. I’m getting 17th combined so getting 24mpg would be appreciated. If we are going on a family road trip, my wife and kids choose the Escalade but for my daily driver, the Lexus is great

[@KhusheKenworth]

Escalade belongs in the junk yard not at peoples house. Starter going out and transmission issue tells you what Cadillac is about. Junk

I don’t know JB that Escalade hard to beat if you guys switch I with you

[@dennissmith7214]

[@jesusrosales9263]

How many old Toyotas Lexus are on the road. ???

[@googleuser3007]

Very few people are keeping these new autos beyond 5 years or 100K miles. Most folks are leasing these new autos because they are so expensive. Also, due to the complex technology in these new cars none of them make a good investment after the warranty ends. If folks really want to keep their auto forever (super long term reliable/dependability), they have to get autos that were made before 2012-2015. After those years, you really don’t want to keep these things too long. All these giant screens, integrated electronic starter generators, 4 wheel steering, etc. make the auto drive great but man $$$$. That is why I refuse to give up my 2010 Escalade with 115K miles. I can take it to the dealership or other places to get repaired without fear of some non-Cadillac certified technician screwing up something. Additionally, I’m a big believer in owning 2nd hand (let the first person take the depreciation), but now that doesn’t seem to be a good option.

[@chrizzo7782]

You compared a base escalade to the lexus. The escalade sport is a more comparable model to the lexus, in my opinion.

That was a Premium Luxury Escalade in the video and the Sport is on the same level like the Premium Luxury but just a separate trim from each other.

[@TolyTheTolerBear]

Lexus all day! I’ve still got my 2000 LX470 which has 186,500 miles; she still runs GREAT! I just have to do a parts replacement due to wear and tear, once in a full moon (those parts are still available and affordable)! Plus my Lexus dealer always gives me a nice Lexus loaner whenever they need a day or 2 to replace a part!

[@jeromegriffin93]

Jb they have more wood choices in the caddy

[@MZZHZZWZZ]

Correct, there are several Escalade trim packages that use black wood along with different variations of brown.

[@sacredcrosscattleco.9122]

The rear tail lights on the cadi are classic and icon and not to mention gorgeous at night. You know it’s an Escalade when it passes.

[@lex-cc3nu]

The caddy is nice, with all the extras and thats more possibilities for issues. The lexus is straight to the point, some things people can do without which also means fewer issues. Lease a caddy but spend my hard earned money on buying a lexus

[@dongill9186]

My wife and I just bought a 24 LX 600 F Sport after an exhaustive search of all the large luxury SUVs including the Escalade. The Escalade has a lot more room - it's 10 inches longer than the LX - and more features/options. Despite that we chose the LX because the build quality is far superior (this truck should last 15 years no problem), we love the interior and exterior looks of the LX, the LX holds it value much better than the American and German SUVs and we thought the Escalade (and the Navigator as well) was just too big for us. If you don't plan to own it outside the warranty period and have a bunch of kids and stuff to drive around on a day-to-day basis, the Escalade may be a better choice. I also suggest doing your research on the V35A twin turbo engine in the LX which was part of a massive safety recall in the Tundras and LXs for the 22 and 23 model years. The Car Care Nut channel has a very good video on this. It looks like Toyota made some part number changes for the 24 year models so I think it is low risk which is why the 24s weren't included in the recall. Good luck deciding.

[@nbjr23]

Nice review and comparison. Both technically are full size suv but to be fair the Escalade is 211.9 inches long & the LX600 is 200.5 inches long so of course it will feel tighter. You alluded to a longer wheel base but the numbers would have been nice for the casual consumer. One is a dedicated ppl mover, one is a 7 seater in a pinch. Both great

[@Popor.]

Definitely LX 600 winner. Proved anywhere around the earth.

[@ryankipp3509]

The Lexus is a much better SUV.

[@inchlorIentztJiIu]

It’s very obvious that the Escalade is levels above the Lexus in every aspect. Also that Cadillac Escalade is the lowest spec and even though it’s still levels above. These days the caddy offers more tech, more features than any Mercedes and BMW 🤷‍♂️

The Caddy's wood finiah doesn't get get scuffed up and the Caddy's wood is traditional Caddy' paying homage to the Fleetwoods and Sedan DeVilles from back in the day, it's BIG and American and has more dominant presence, makes a statement. pulling up in the Caddy gets a lot more looks then the Lexus.

[@kencavallari2208]

Gets a lot more looks because they are wondering if Snoop Dig is getting out. Trade looks for major depreciation not an intelligent way to buy a vehicle- unless you are Snoop Dog

[@richardroundtree2022]

@kencavallari2208 Snoop doesn't drive Escalades he drives 70s Caddy sedans, you tried to be amusing but fell right on your face. More Dignitaries ride in Escalades, Lexus ain't in the same neighborhood, you don't see private Chauffeurs driving Lexus, they pull up in classic Big Bad Escalades deep window tent, it's the Big Bad American boss, plus the Lexus can't compete in the tech department, right now Supercuise is considered the beat autonomous drive system on the planet even better the Tesla (go look that up) plus if you want some raucous fun the V series will blow the doors the Lexus no comp in no category, NEXT !!!

[@johnls39]

People keep saying that Lexus is more reliable and dependable but I see more older model Escalades from the earlier and mid '00s on the road currently than I see the LX of that same time frame. So I'm not convinced about the Toyota Lexus reliability debate from the apologist. They both are reliable and can have their share of issues too. Also, FYI, I don't see the first generation LX on the road anymore.

[@ramaswamynarayanaswamy4806]

I agree with you 100%. I will take the Escalade for the time being, since the LX600 engines have been blowing up recently and their complexity is too much compared to the 6.2 V8.

I have a 2022 Escalade ESV sport platinum, I love it, BUT...... it's been in the shop twice in 2 months for "Leveling System Unavailable." and it doesn't allow me to go over 56mph when showing that message. It seems like I'm always at the shop with this vehicle, I will miss the space this has, but I have to choose reliability over the Escalade, which is what Lexus offers.

Escalade is the only Cadillac that has been somewhat reliable. However ever since gm bailouts & price gouging I’m done with their vehicles. Lexus/toyota have platforms that work and therefore don’t change much. At the end of the day, drive what you like~ to me it’s all way overrated & overpriced. I can only speak for myself; I receive much better service and I have experienced a much higher level of professionalism in the Lexus dealer. That’s huge in my world, especially spending that kind of money.

Hello everyone. Well I just wanted to say that of course toyota and lexus and honda have a good reputation, but I am going to say what my uncle used to say, who was a mechanical engineer in 60s "it depends what day of the week car was built" and he would go on and explain "Ike Friday people want to go home early and so on and so forth" But in all seriousness I think it's like a lottery. For example my father-in-law has a nissan rogue with over 100000 miles on it, he only did maintenance such a belt tires and fluid, but when I researched his car it's a piece of junk according to reviews. I leased 2016 gls ordered special off road package and couldn't wait to return it, that was piece of junk 100%. Min while my friend had cadilac Escalade with 300000 miles on it occasionally running with 1 or 2 quote of oil🤦🏻‍♂️ and I know so many examples like that. So bottom line is in my opinion yes do your research, but when you buy or lease your vehicle please maintain it well and maybe even if everyone saying that car is junk but you have the one that is not. I wish you all the best. God bless
