What stands out to me is that the Lincoln and Lexus LX both have undergone refreshes/or full redesign and they look like older year models than the Escalade. The Cadillac has been unchanged since 2021 and still has a futuristic aesthetic and grand presence that the others just don’t have. Cadillac has a styling that ages very well.
@@itsshamsi5162 It’s the same 6.2L V8 and 10-speed automatic transmission in the Yukon and Tahoe. Parts are much cheaper and better accessible. That’s also not the #1 priority for the average buyer here and that proves that the others don’t understand this segment, not nearly as well as Cadillac does. You can’t “correct” them when you aren’t outselling them. You can only learn from them, try to compete, and hope to get a piece of the pie. 🤷🏽♂️
I’m getting the 2025 Escalade in the short body. If I get the base strip down model, the only two add-ons I would need is the red exterior paint which I think like $1000 extra and the top stereo option. And I’m happy. You can keep the other hundred thousand dollars of extra options available. the physical appearance of this SUV is the nicest of all the SUVs in my opinion, especially out of the big SUVs
Great review Kenny. For me this is the best SUV in the full sized lux market. Really like the looks both inside and out. Great job as always and hoping that you are doing great!
Cadillac is king these days. You need to get with the times. The current Escalade has shut every luxury brand regardless whether it is a Rolls Royce, Bentley, Mercedes, BMW Range Rover or Lexus.
Is anyone going off road or towing with their escalade? Lol. I could see towing something like a little camper. That would be cool. This one is very nice. The color and wheels really compliment each other.
Why is the steering wheel blinking the whole time? Is it only the camera that’s picking it up (which still doesn’t seem good to be looking at all day long)? Must be related to auto drive, but does the blinking ever turn off? Thank you! Very informative video!
@@703Speed I just watched your review of the Black Label again so I could answer your question better, and I mainly don't like the front end styling - way too big of a "mouth". I don't like that look on ANY vehicle ( Toyota/Lexus included ) I don't like black wheels on ANYTHING either, so that's a negative on the Black Label ( I know you LOVE them, LOL ) The rear styling is good ( I might even like that a little better than the Escalade, LOL ) The wheels that are standard on the Escalade you reviewed are my favorite of just about any vehicle. There ARE things about the interior of the Navigator that I like better than the Cadillac - it seems to have more "buttons and switches", which I like. I'm never going to like the "tacked on" look of the Lincolns center screen - the more integrated one in the Escalade looks better to me. It's hard to beat the sound of a GM 6.2, which I know you'll agree with, too - you've said that many times. The Lincolns turbo V6 sounds pretty good, though - just not the same. If we all liked the same thing, it would be a VERY dull "Car World" . . . you are one of the best UA-cam reviewers because when I watch your videos, I know you're going to show the same stuff, ( one of your favorite words LOL ) in the same order - which really helps when comparing other vehicles. I hope you don't ever change, your personality makes your videos more interesting to watch than most of the other reviewers. I watched one of your first videos the other day, and you've really improved a lot since that one.
@@chadmark88 been meaning to respond to this. First - thank you for watching the black label again. You are a true supporter. Much appreciated. 2nd, I agree with you. There are certain things about both that I like, and certain things I don’t like. I do like the Lincoln’s design, but prefer the Cadillac. I prefer the Lincoln’s seat comfort and the fact that the Lincoln has the massaging second row seats. The interior layout of the Cadillac is much better imo. Cadillac did a great job making the interior feel much more special than the Yukon/Tahoe. The Navigator needs some work on that front. Thank you for the continued support of my channel, I can’t do any of the things I do in my life without people like you watching. So thank you! I haven’t been posting too much because I have a HUGE project going on behind the scenes that you guys will see very soon! I’m very excited to share it with y’all!
@@703Speed Can't wait to see the project !!! I'm sure the seats in the Lincoln are much better, too ( my Uncle bought a new Lincoln every two years all his life - the last time I was in his, I remember complimenting on the AWESOME seats ) It's a shame we can't go into a dealer and order a ESCAGATOR !!!!

Difference is that the others are more fuel efficient and cheaper to maintain in the long term (especially the Lexus LX 600) than the Cadillac

Great job & this new Escalade is my choice.
Yess
Best luxury full size SUV on the market with great N/A engine. Greetings

missing the rear entertainment screens for the passengers
You should pick a random subscriber to gift one to. Thumbs up review. Peace bro.
Hahaha I wish I could. Maybe a T shirt would be a good start?
Visible running board is cool looking. I would hate the power running board.
I can’t wait for new faceleft 👍🏻
I'm interested to see how it'll look in person
Fantastic job Kenny.

The Escalade is at the top of MY list, too . . I don't like the Lincoln at all.
What about the Lincoln do you not like?

Does it come with underbody armor?
$100k where power running boards isn't the standard is preposterous.
Love this car but it has gone through the roof$$$
