@Jamie M Just how it was basically unchanged from the previous design. It was only ok when it debuted many years ago so by last year it was just old and needed new life and didn't get it.

[@iggy-pg6gq]

True that. I was looking at a seirra Denali. Love the exterior (Aside from some non body color matching trim) and the fact I can get the mini duramax in it. But that interior is beyond cheap, the center instrument cluster looks like its pulled from a base model, and I hate the poor quality grainy leather seating.

[@mybro727]

Birnie98 how exactly did it get worse?

[@rtmiata]

No one ever mentions this but I have owned quite a few suburbans and the rear cargo area always gets scratched up because of cheap plastic. On the Cadillac there is carpet on the sides of the cargo area which is awesome.

the wagoneer cant compete. looks wise, quality wise. i doubt the production model will hold up to the navigator and the escalade.

You're absolutely right. The wagoneer at most would be a denali competitor imo. Plus 6k orders for the Escalade have been placed by the time the wagoneer drops the Escalade would already have the leg up on sales

I was hoping to upgrade to the grand wagoneer from the Grand Cherokee, but that exterior is an absolute bust, I hate the rear end, and something is off with grill. The interior is alot sharper then the escalade though

I just checked with Cadillac and the Escalade does come with Night Vision as an option. Great review!

[@normt430]

The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and the Cadillac Escalade account for 50% of all large SUV sales in the US. GM makes 340,000 of them every year and exports about 80,000 to 31 countries. They’re made in GM’s plant in Arlington, Texas, which is said to be the most profitable assembly plant in the world. We estimate they generate $20 billion in revenue for GM and about $4 billion in profits. Autoline Daily.

[@Oldsoldiersays]

Not too long ago the escalade was 60k. Now its 120k, they were already at a huge profit on their caddy brand because of the cross platform sharing at the 60k, in the last 20 years whats doubled the cost? You can say all the electronics but I say not. They have done away with all the metal, have gone to plastic trim, still have plastic interiors, switches, led lights, they don't even use forged wheels they use heavy cast wheels. They use dirt cheap engines, troublesome transmissions, same frame chassis, cheap carpet thats been standard for 30 years. Basically been putting lipstick on a pig for 20 years. Tossing touchpads where dials were previously, adding speakers where bolsters were before and to back it all up they again do more deceptive shit by switching to Nm torque shit that nobody knows or cares about..

[@342boss]

Agreed to an extent. They've topped 100k for several years, but no one pays sticker for an American SUV.

[@youandyourself757]

I bought my wife the yukon XL AT4 and i have to say it has more usable features with enough luxury options, air ride suspension panoramic roof, back seat monitors its a beast off road...We've had it for about 6 months now and we laugh a bit when we see a denali because we got the real deal..

The rebound in Cadillac Escalade sales during the fourth quarter represents a strong performance following the 56 percent drop in Q3 2020. As such, the ‘lade remained the best-selling model in the full-size luxury SUV segment, with a dominant 45 percent segment share, meaning that the Escalade almost outsold all rivals combined, including: Lincoln Navigator (see Lincoln Navigator sales), which came in second place with 5,042 deliveries for a 24 percent segment shareInfiniti QX80, which took third place with 4,832 deliveries and 23 percent segment shareLexus LX, which came in last place with 1,636 deliveries and 9 percent segment share.

It couldn't help but notice the exclusion of the night vision camera on this model. I was wondering if it was an extra option of if they discontinued it. If so, that would be a step backwards for a flagship model. Also, was the engine cover removed or does it come like that? In any event, I think its hands down the leader of its American SUVs and well ahead of the Lincoln just like it did before. Although I have to give the Navigator an honorable mention for having the best in class seats in the auto industry, even if it falls short on the other luxury SUV amenities. As to how well it compare to its German rivals well it still has a ways to go. All the players from the VW Group are competition off-road vehicles and offer active anti-roll shocks, in addition to 4-wheel steering. Something no American SUV offers at any price. Also curious that Cadillac doesn't have its own distinct engine this go-round or a plug-in hybrid. One more thing, the hatch opening badge was stolen from Bentley, who stole it from VW.
