Description
The Cadillac Escalade was introduced for the 1999 model year, based on the Chevrolet Tahoe full-size SUV. The fourth-generation Escalade launched in 2015 with more exterior design distinction to separate it from Chevy and GMC versions of the utility vehicle.
Like its primary competitor, the Lincoln Navigator, the Escalade is a big, traditional body-on-frame, truck-based SUV with a standard V-8 engine, though with all the luxury of Cadillac’s plushest sedans.
The standard Escalade is 203.3 inches long on a 116-inch wheelbase, while the Escalade ESV measures a whopping 224.3 inches overall on a 130-inch wheelbase.
Both versions feature a removable third-row seat, though the ESV has more cargo space behind the second row, and either version is available with rear- or four-wheel-drive.
