Here's Why Range Rover LWB Might Be a Better Choice Over Cadillac Escalade Platinum. 3Row SUV Fight.

[@naimulsayed1339]

Love this new Range Rover. Of course I can’t afford it. But no money needed to love it. ❤ Fallen in love at first sight when it came out. They have shown how to make a suv or a car look gorgeous and modern without making it alien. Simplicity is the best. Elegant and sleek. Have to work harder to get it someday.

[@xu4799]

18:19 Such a nice conclusion, I used to own a 2014 autobiography LWB RR. This car is amazing and good for everyday use. The car is solid as well as it looks. The thing I regret the most in the past few years is that I sold RR and got 2017 G63 and now Bentayga, RR is still the best in these three. Very stable while at high speed(170mph), it could go light off-road and won’t get stuck and It's relatively low-key that you can drive it to anywhere without getting people’s attention. Some people might concerned about it’s quality, tbh the only two issues I had for owning two years is blurred screen(only once while I shift the gear to Rear, fix the problem after restart the engine) and un-lockable trunk door. Not too bad compare with my Bentayga🤷

[@ano3758]

Escalade definitely looks cool and just badass, but the Range Rover is just in a plane of its own to the point where this comparison feels unfair.

Disagree. They actually are in the same league because they're both the top land yachts of their kind. Escalade is the nicest American suv and Range is the coolest euro one. Both you can get for around $100,000. Both you see in rich communities and drive ways. Just 2 different approaches to luxury. I myself would get an escalade. More room, more dominant presence, more flashy, cheaper to maintain, better reliability, better sound system, more seats, massage chairs, supercruise, bigger screens etc

I always thought the Escalade looked better than the range on the exterior. Now I think aesthetically the Escalade has a nicer interior too. The Escalade will definitely hold up better as well. The range may use higher quality materials meaning it’s leathers and woods but ehhhh overall I’ll take the Escalade. I never totally understood the Range Rover hype tbh

[@MrSupersaiyangoku]

I don't either. He over hyped the Range. Ive been in many cars and the whole "higher quality" thing is a lie most times. Its leather at the end of the freaking day. Its the padding underneath that matters most. Plus the escalade is a truck. It can tow. No one would dare want to tow consistently with a Rover. The maintenance would kill ya.

[@MrSupersaiyangoku]

He also lied the Escalade tows 8,400 pounds. And with the engine being way more reliable you can tow for more time than the Rover.

The Range Rover doesn’t compete with the Escalade. If anything the Range Rover competes with the x7 and GLS. The Escalade competes with the Navigator and Wagoneer. That being said I think the Escalade and X7 are the leaders in their respective class. I own an Escalade and I can tell you that it is simply a Tahoe in a tuxedo. Drives great and is extremely capable due to it’s truck under pinning but as far as interior it slightly falls short of a Mercedes and BMW. Can’t really anything about the Range Rover as I would never dare buy one.

However, when I hop into a GLS or a RR, (haven't been in an X7), it's next level those fronts. They are all technology-laden. That's a part of the luxury experience. For me ride and comfort trumps that.

@@kclark8080 You would be the genius expecting a school bus to have the dynamics of a 15 passenger van. Both large - but there are major differences. Neither Range Rover nor Mercedes makes an actual direct competitor to the Cadillac Escalade (aside from G-wagon). If the Cadillac Escalade was a unibody it’d most likely have an even better quality of ride than it’s European counterparts as it’s on air suspension accompanied by the quickest reacting dampers in the auto industry (MRC). The minute you put a Range Rover or Mercedes-Benz GLS on a BOF chassis and then compare their ride qualities/comfort to the Escalade is the moment you’ll realize just how much more refined the Cadillac Escalade actually is. It’s an actual *truck* - the other two are something _completely_ different.

Also the tech in the Range Rover is outdated vs the high tech Escalade. I like to drive my Luxury vehicles so the new 2022/23 Escalade Platinum models have better driver focused tech, better ease of use, better luxurious looking seats, better integration around the driver, the screens are not slapped on like in the Range Rover, Escalade offers more safety, more road presence and most importantly better engineered for CAR GUYS who like to keep their luxury cars long term. These days not even the Rolls Royce Cullinan impresses me enough against the Escalade. Also keep in mind I’m not even talking about Super Cruise or the Escalade V.
