2019 Cadillac Escalade Platinum Review - Showing Its Age

Cypress Thunder since ive been alive we have had 6 GM’s, arguably 7, possibly 8. 4 buicks, all company cars that got thrashed and worked flawlessly when my dad turned them in because the lease was up. My moms car, a 2004 yukon, well we bought it new and it still gets daily driven. Then theres my dads 2016 terrain. No problems so far, he’s almost had it for 3 years. Then there the 09 vibe which was a complete piece of shit(it wasnt a gm car though), and the 8th one well my 01 isuzu trooper, which i bought off a friend years ago but at the time it was sold GM had a 51% stake in isuzu. A lot of the electronics under the hood were delphi(GM) and theyve lasted 19 years. The parts that have failed were japanese or german, like the starter and the abs pump. They’re reliable in my book

[@punnequraq]

Frank Magana my family has had 5. my grandma’s 02 trailblazer throws a new check engine light every other week, and my uncle’s 16 suburban does the same thing. my parents used to have a 13 silverado and a 12 lacrosse, both had to have multiple trans rebuilds until we got rid of them both in 17. finally, my sister’s old 15 acadia’s water pump went out the week after she got it, and it’s had a bunch of random electrical problems since. doesn’t seem like a very reliable company, that’s why we went to ford :)

And twin turbo V6 in new Navigator is uncompareable with 6.2 L V8 from Escalade

[@G0ddEityawesome]

Jose Manuel the column shifter is the ugliest part of this car

[@Stressless2023]

Love the hidden dashboard compartment, the electronic "button" to open the glove box, and the V8 under the hood. That's it. Oh and I'm not that spoiled, I don't mind pushing the door handle button to unlock the door instead of proximity door handles.

[@biglee13m]

2019, Kia makes a better luxury SUV than Cadillac for less than half of the money.

[@firstlast7613]

You are obviously on some crack, or blind lol

[@RafaelGarcia-wt8ux]

For like $30,000 which I think is insane

You mean the ones that are all getting recalled for blowing up?

It does not have air suspension but air shocks that self level for towing and what not

[@loransantos6647]

Wished they use some rap song about driving an Escalade... but okay

[@xxigilz]

4:30 I dont know if someone corrected you guys yet, But i just wanted to point out, that light has a purpose and it's for the hands free sensor where you put your foot there. It seems confusing at first, But that's what it is! Love the Videos!

[@asianmanrules6]

The navigator blows the Cadillac out of the water. But I would rather get the GMC Yukon Denali

[@paulh2990]

Adrian de leon thats what i did and i love it

[@nukeman444]

That 2021 Yukon AT4 is a much better value compared to the Escalade. We didn't even factor in the Navigator.

[@ninjasupersport]

That not true that ugly ass truck

[@jackbroggi9437]

Naw the Cadillac is amazing

[@mikenormandy9250]

It just shows you how behind the times GM is - Great video guys, I love when Jakub rants!

[@tomthompson6584]

The Navigator's interior is so much nicer, it's not even funny. But hey, at least Cadillac improved their god awful old gauge cluster!

[@pontiacGXPfan]

When that ridiculous iPad dashboard thing stops working see how much nicer your Navigator's interior is then

[@tomthompson6584]

@@pontiacGXPfan Lol, the Caddy also has a touch screen and those garbage capacitive buttons. The same thing can happen. Maybe it'll last longer cause it's so low res.

[@mybro727]

pontiacGXPfan Too late! There’s already a recall out on the Lincoln Navigator and Aviator’s infotainment systems! LMDAO. I’ll take even this 2019 Cadillac Escalade all day! And when the new one is released next year, I’ll trade it in for the big boy. Ford fanboys are so clueless and delusional. Smh

[@frankmagana1408]

I drove one, its nice looking, spacious and comfortable, but those door panels feel hollow(the expedition has the same problem), and it let in a lot of engine noise. I would still take the Escalade. Exterior looks better, i got a v8 motor that will last a very long time, and i know my way in and out of gm cars

[@LitfinA]

Thank god they are redoing this for 2021

[@GordonGEICO]

Kia Telluwhat? The fact that a mid-size SUV from a traditionally non-luxury brand even comes up in the conversation is a big problem for Cadillac.

[@delevainwhitehurst3856]

Well the glowing logo shows you were to kick to open the trunk, in which almost every car u have to kick off to the side so it makes perfect sense. They make it way to notice where to kick to open it.

[@TheStraightPipes]

How do I notice it in 95% of my driving situations during the day time? 😂

[@idontlikecops1]

I like the colum shifter alot actually. And it's the best looking suv and it has a NICE V8 not no eco boost 6 cylinder b.s but yea it needs some love

[@Radi0he4d1]

I honestly like quirks like a column shifter, they remind you of how this is a well-dressed all-American kick-ass truck.

[@tmanepic]

7:53 Yuri's smile 😂

[@mustpaike]

The cramped 3rd row is not due to the body-on-frame design but due to the solid rear axle. The ESV model puts the rear axle further behind so it has more room. While Ford went to much more compact independent rear suspension in 2003 and thus the Expedition and the Navigator have had perfectly good 3rd row seats now for almost 17 years.

[@andrelima5124]

This great SUV needs to be redesigned from the ground up Navigator puts it on shame

[@BrawndoQC]

I test drove both, ended up with the Escalade. Speak for yourself.

[@andrelima5124]

@@BrawndoQC Maybe you're not interested in tech features or design I don't know. The Escalade has an N/A V8 wich can be not as fast like the 3.5 TT V6 but is a reliable engine. But when it comes to performance/tech and comfort features/interior luxury and design.....the Navigator is better and I'm not speaking for myself, that's a fact.

[@BrawndoQC]

@@andrelima5124 If there's something in the Escalade that I'm missing (I've the Platinum), let me know. I don't like the look of the Navigator nor the spaceship interior. I never use a sunroof so I don't mind about panoramic. Maybe massage for second row. That's about it. I've no issues arguing that the Aviator is superior to the XT6 but when it comes to full size, to me Escalade is still the king. I also much prefer the sound of a 6.2 N/A V8 than the 3.5 TT. About tech features, I'm a CTO, there's enough tech for me in there.

Some people are too incompetent to understand how bad GM vehicles are.

@@2railnation , what do you drive?

[@flexipino]

been driving my caddy with CUE for 2 years and the infotainment system is no problem once you get used to it. I can understand someone that feels the way you do if you have it for a rental period

Cadillac: I am luxurious and have amazing quality *jakub turns red*

[@evilspoons]

Oh god, this reminds me of the time I was at the car show and the Cue system was brand new in a CTS-V or something... some kid turned the satellite radio to the (swearing-included) rap station, cranked the volume to max, and then ditched. The salesman I was talking to basically dove head-first into the car to turn it down, but he didn't know how to operate the touch volume strip so he spent a good 20 seconds or so with "Juicy" by The Notorious B.I.G. drawing *all* sorts of attention. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

[@3bd0o0l]

15:03 is the best part 😂

[@prayformojo1117]

My 2007 Duramax has the exact same column shifter, and it was the last year of the 99-2007 generation. That column shifter is almost 20 years old.
