Cadillac logo has changed through the years when I was kid it had the crest with little ducks in it and a V shape for "De Ville" or a wreath for the high end "brougham". Or just the crest with the ducks. I love the new style. So in the history of Cadillac I believe there have been 8 logos mods. As for kick for gate "up to the body on left side" (I have a Cad) or you can press crest as mentioned by Eisa.

[@jerranamo]

My opinion on the Escalade vs Grand Wagoneer continues to change. Exterior: Escalade. It screams luxury when you see one on the road. Interior: Undecided. I like the seats and the sound system in the Escalade. I like the passenger side screen, the second row console and the third row amenities in the Grand Wagoneer. The screens in both vehicles are exceptional. Engine: Grand Wagoneer I look forward to test driving each SUV in the near future. Regardless of the looks and amenities, how each vehicle feels on the road will be my deciding factor.

[@richardnottelmann58]

I love how the middle seats flip forward on the Escalade. That is how they worked on my 15 Suburban. If you flip the middle seats up and you sit in the back it is like being in a limousine.

Naw this is true. I have a 2016 grand Cherokee and my cabin noise is so quiet because of the laminated windows. Grand wagoneer definitely got that too haha

[@krane15]

I'll say one thing about the Cadillac, it has one of the most distinctive styling in the car industry - especially its lighting (I prefer the amber turn signals). Nothing else on the road looks like it. Even without the badging you can tell its a Cadillac. Anyway, it would appear that you have a very long torso, so that contributes to your headroom even more than total height. Still, that body type makes for a better test since it goes down from there. In addition, the Cadillac there is a long wheelbase version of that vehicle. Jeep/RAM is probably the ONLY company (beyond premium sedans) that take into account the comfort and quality of its rear seat passengers. Outside of Jeep, who would bother with stitched armrests in the rear? In every other car company, regardless of type, the rear compartment is always the equivalent to second-class. For example, nobody else builds a car with power, massaging, or even ventilated rear seats. Too bad you didn't mention anything about the sound system or controls, but I guess we have to tune in to DD if we want all the quirks and features of the automobiles.

[@johnadkins3466]

I believe the Grand Wagoneer Series 3 shown here has both heated and ventilated rear seats.

[@kevbn909]

funny how the new Caddy headlights are straight up 2015 jeep grand cherokee

[@krane15]

@@johnadkins3466 That's something that distinguished Stellantis product above all other carmakers. When you sit in the rear seats its not like you're sitting in steerage. There's just as much attention to detail and comfort as they put into the first row. Because you sit higher, you don't feel like a second class citizen. The only thing missing is of course would be the ability to adjust the height, so even your Sumo brothers can be comfortable. One of the few justifiable reasons to own these types of vehicles.

The ESV has more room but bucket seats in second row. You haul one less person. I have owned 4 esclades over the years, the ESV platform is easier for your passengers.

I love what Jeep did here minus the cheap piano black plastic inside. Escalade is not a looker in my opinion and the interior is straight up Chevy/GMC parts bin minus the screen. If the Escalade didn't have its multiple small screens (reviewers call it one screen but its multiple smaller OLED screens laid on top of one another) in one, it would not be as hyped as it is. I think the amount of screens in both of these two are a bit out of hand. Was not impressed with my time inside the Escalade. I would go Navigator or X7 over both of these two here personally

[@TruckKing]

[@Vahso]

I’ve had an escalade and now a new wagoneer. I absolutely love the look of escalade, however, Wagoneer hits on practicality. Simple things; hitting the cooling/heat. Wagoneer is very simple when it comes to climate control. Which is positioned under the screen and is more manual. Not sure about the new Escalades you used to have to slide. Which was totally an annoyance and keeps your left hand further away from the steering column. Always had electricity problems with Escalades and the screens on Escalades always have faulty issues…hoping wagoneer doesn’t have the same issues. The 2022 Wagoneer, has amazing features. Especially with passenger control. The real version of navigator. In the wagoneer…The sensors will also inform you if have something in the rear/back. It’s a nice friendly reminder, for busy people. More head room in Wagoneer, but Escalade has a an elite look. Both have there strengths. It depends what you use the vehicle for.

If one could disconnect the front hubs and thus stop any movement and load in the front axles and driveshaft, only then one might gain some fuel economy. I also speak from personal experience.

That Grand Wagoneer is such a beautiful vehicle. But for myself I would rather have an older one.

[@wildbill23c]

Me too, and have a lot of money left over to keep it going....There's nothing in either of these vehicles that screams $100k+.

Steve is one big dude.

[@tonystormcloud8937]

You picked the right SUV. But next time stack up more similar engines. Jeep Grand Wagoneer rocks!

[@christopherdorsey9483]

The Cadillac symbol on the back is the trunk open button

[@nydieselinfl]

Personally, I like the look of the Wagoneer way better. I feel like the last 2 generations of the Escalade has been absolutely ugly. Too many geometric shapes and futuristic looking, just not a good look on a big SUV in my opinion. Even the interior is better looking on the Jeep. Win all the way around for the Jeep.

[@staceypayton5159]

Thought i was the only one who thought the escalade was ugly..inside and out...

[@krane15]

Makes no sense. The design is evolutionary. Meaning if you hate one, you hate them all.

[@staceypayton5159]

I actually kinda liked the other ones..its just this new escalade is putrid to me...inside and out..

[@Nestle245]

It's the opposite for me. Exterior too boxy from the side and rear angles. The square windows look like they took it out of a boat. Interior wise it looks amazing but exterior is unattractive.

[@krane15]

@@Nestle245 Say what you will about boxy designs, but they are the most practical shape for people and their cargo. No silly sporty coupe shaped SUVs where the sloping roof line cuts into head room and sacrifices valuable cargo space.

There is a small button for the glass latch and the Cadillac emblem is also the button!!!!

I must say, a girthy person's suit down height is taller than a thin person of the same height. There's no real formula, because it depends on your girth, but if you're 6'2", at your girth, your suit down height is closer to a person that's 6'7", or even taller.

[@krane15]

Going diesel on a full-sized SUV is one way to get away with, and to justify its size and weight. Also, car makers with those leg swipe sensors need to place them on the corners (say underneath the tail light), so know exactly where to kick and won't be standing in front of the rising cargo lid.

[@redlineperformance7765]

i would get the escalade

[@dor1tomcswagger69]

Ohh that hwy 400 is horrible around Barrie feels like I'm in a plane with major turbulence when I drive there 😂

[@lanceripplinger8352]

Very nice review. Happy Thanksgiving from here in the U.S.!

[@TruckKing]

Same to you!

[@pryme2013]

The problem with the wagoner looks are the huge painted pillars. It looks terrible imo.

[@gbaby4rb64]

The Obsidian can black out the chrome around the pillar and in black it looks great

[@SwannBus]

I hate it too, it looks terrible.

[@marylandflyer5670]

While I applaud Cadillac for offering a TDI engine, it’s vastly underpowered compared to a Range Rover where you can get a stump pulling V8 TDI.

[@dalengary817]

Your forgetting the “V” which beats all of them

[@sophallvoek7825]

There is no road presence on Jeep like Cadillac at all .... for Escalade you have a huge road presence while driving it .... it is big different !

[@eddym5532]

What the auto makers are lacking are good designers, all of those cars looks like a shoe box with wheels. Just compare it with a 59 Cadillac E l Dorado, a 64 T.Bird, a Chrysler, 58 Chrysler Crown Imperial, 57 Pontiac Star Chief, 61 Lincoln Continental. Etc.

[@bigoz7]

Cool vid very informative and thanks for sharing!

[@TruckKing]

No problem 👍

[@tom58792]

Cadillac with out a doubt
