How comfortable are the seats?? Do they feel like luxury?
@blackice74085 ай бұрын
Not a fan of the pencil thin headlights. It doesnt fit the massive front end imo. The current headlight design fits it better

Why would they get rid of the Duramax engine? Was the perfect powertrain

Does it have a full size spare tire and a jack?

So the top horizontal lights are no more?

Current gen looks way better. Not a fan of these designs & trends of headlights being put on the lower end of the bumper.

I agree. Plus 30mpg diesel option gone which is paramount for limo companies

@ I like the Navigator, the Cadillac, and the QX80 but I wanted power shades if I am spending over $100 Grand to bad those were my choices only . Thanks For your quick response. 👋🏽

⛔️ There is a manufacturing error in the design of the front facade. If any accident occurs from the front to the lights under the front bumper, it will make you change all the main lights of the car, I think for an amount exceeding 7,000 US dollars.

My only critique for all reviewers - is they hate on other brands HKM, Dodge, Jeep, Etc. for doing climate control with no physical knobs but now all of a sudden, piano finish, and no physical knobs are suddenly okay and “luxury”. It doesn’t make sense. Physical keys for climate should always be physical but I see I biased POV when it comes to luxury on-site reviews. Otherwise, super descriptive and attention oriented details that are only delivered by the man himself. Great review!

I love the new exterior but cannot handle that dashboard and center tablet with not a single button. Although smaller, overall I personally prefer the Maybach anyday!

Is that last/lower light in the headlight array that isn't illuminated a " fog light " ? If only Caddy would just offer a Diesel with a standard 2nd row bench . GMC it is .

Does the passenger seat have memory seating? I dont see it, the nav trumps in that category. You said "whole shebang" but you fell short.

You might be right, will wait to see one at the dealership, but honestly i own a 2024 escalade black sports platinum , No complaints, love it. Looks badass. looking at the seats of this one, it seems the seats are the same. Only the seat and just the seats in the lincoln are alot more comfortable, have you sat in the 2024 range rover , wow so comfortable.

I guess after the release of the new Infiniti QX80, Cadillac said they had to step up their game with the Escalade. I see they also took some interior styling Q's from Infiniti as well.
@G-Rated5 ай бұрын
You are such a delusional Infiniti fanatic. The redesigned Infiniti is literally a watered down Japanese Cadillac Escalade without the presence and design. *gm* doesn’t even benchmark the QX80 when developing the Escalade, let alone take styling cues from any Nissan models.
