      You got that part right, but the outside looks identical to the Tahoe/suburban/yukon except for the front grill and headlights. For 100k you'd think they'd at least make it look unique instead of just taking a Tahoe and putting a different front clip on it. They nailed it on the interior but looks like they got lazy on the exterior.

    I can’t express how proud I am to see this company who so many have counted out rise to the occasion. I always knew Cadillac would be back on their way of becoming the standard of luxury but i can honestly say I was caught by surprise at the reveal of the new Escalade. It was amazing to see Lincoln rise from near irrelevance to a strong competitor amongst the luxury market back in 2018, but it’s truly remarkable to see Cadillac outdo themselves and leap-frog everyone in the industry on the level they just have. The technology, the level of refinement, the drive to improve reliability within the brand, and the caliber of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Keeping the tried and true naturally aspirated 8 cylinder powertrains and adding another tried and true Durumax diesel makes bringing this home feel like you’ve made the right decision regardless of which powertrain you choose. This will once again be the vehicle to beat in the segment. It’s been improved in nearly every way that it could be improved. Great job, Cadillac. Fantastic job, General Motors! This is true American luxury.

      mybro727 I did track down that video and that black grill is beautiful. I don’t know if you also noticed the wheels, which are also stunning. Prior to my Escalade I had a 2001 Yukon Denali, followed by a 2009 Yukon Denali, both great trucks, great quality and great looks. No complaints what so ever on my 2018 Escalade , but I agree with you GM really put some thought and effort into this Escalade and I personally think it blows everything else out there out of the water. The Navigator is nice, but this Escalade is just plain and simple above all, inside and out!

      Cocora22 I couldn’t agree more. The blacked out Sport trim with the black mesh grille on this scale of a vehicle actually looks really good. I have to admit I wasn’t very sure how a Escalade Sport would turn out but it’s very sinister and just as attractive as the Premium Luxury. It’s like a completely different novel but the same story... opulent, bold American beauty. I love the rims on the Sport a lot too. They’re much more masculine this time around. The high level of detail and quality shows in all trims.

      All they did was take a Tahoe, slap on a different grill and headlights and put a nicer interior. Not worth 100k in my opinion. Same with the navigator. I just can't justify paying 100k for a vehicle that from the side, looks the same as the vehicle it's based on. I'll give it to them as far as the interior, but they still need to at least do something to the side. Do that and I might look at one. Otherwise I'll stay with Mercedes-Benz.

Also, we have some 17 Denali's...the 6.2L is a very nicely performing engine...but the 3.0L Duramax is a very poor choice for an 8k lb vehicle --- what prompted that incomprehensive choice...how about a derated L5P(Duramax), if you're worried about the drivetrain components --- but, just like Quadrasteer years ago, another HUGE miscalculation from GM mgmt...WOW, folks, really??!

      @DavidJ245 4 роки тому

      Wil Verk Agreed. The headlights on the current generation actually look more modern than the new Escalades headlights. Don’t know what the hell they were also thinking with that side orange reflector light. It looks horrible. The current generations orange led light pipe looks miles better than that slapped on mess. This new Escalade is the very first generation that shares the orange reflector light with the Yukon and Tahoe as well as the same headlight lighting technology. The Escalade had always had the better headlight lighting technology.
      The current generation has all LED headlights while the Yukon and Tahoe has HID headlights. The previous generation before that one had HID headlights while the Yukon and Tahoe had halogen headlights. With this new generation they all have LED headlights. I was hoping the new Escalade would had moved up to laser headlights like BMW. It seems they put no effort into the exterior this generation sadly. Guess they didn’t learn from the disastrous mistake they made with the 2019 Camaros exterior that was immediately redesigned the very next year following negative feedback.
      I would had also been fine with the new headlights had the DRLs extended to the headlights. The reason I bought my 2016 Escalade was because of the unique all vertical exterior lighting.

    They should had made the DRLs extend all the way to the headlights. That would had made it stand out as much as the current Escalade. Hopefully it will look better in person. I love the front end of my 2016 Escalade more than this one. The headlights on mine make these look extremely bland. Glad they kept the long vertical tail lights so that’s a plus.
    Edit: I saw how the Cadillac designers mentioned that they asked current Escalade owners what they wanted for this new generation in terms of design. They must had ignored every ones input because I have yet to come across a current Escalade owner that loves the exterior, specifically the front end.

    Glad to see Cadillac have innovated a bit, and I generally like the look, but that "I wanna be a BMW" gearshift lever sticking out of the middle of the center console is an abomination. Might as well be a minivan. It's all electronic, and not actually physically connected to the transmission, so why put an 8-inch chunk of cheap plastic sticking up out of the middle of the console? Just doesn't make any sense, and ruins the rest of the hard work they obviously put into the interior. The Lincoln Navigator Black Label got this part right, with the gear select buttons on the dash where they belong. It would have honestly been better had they just kept the truck-style steering column shifter. They'd have been dinged for it being dated and truckish, but at least it wouldn't have been a giant plastic dildo stuck in the middle of the console blocking the driver from doing anything without having to go around the damned thing.

      a c Cadillac’s *signature* vertical DRLs and taillights are what they’ve owned for decades and that has absolutely very little to do with the actual headlight modules. Name 1 Cadillac currently with a vertical headlight module. You can’t. *That’s* not exactly their signature.
      Even during Cadillac’s _Art & Science_ era, there were only two Cadillac products that actually featured vertical headlight housings which were the 2014-2020 Escalade, and 2014 ELR. The ELR was discontinued which left the Escalade as the only one left with that headlight design. The 2021 redesigned Escalade, like most of their CUV/SUV lineup, has now also adapted their new _Escala_ era design language.
      The Escalade features a much more modern, technologically advanced, and sophisticated headlight and high beam and now it’s accompanied by their new signature vertical DRLs which look much more premium. This is cohesive and compliments the rest of the new lineup. Although they’ve never actually owned vertical headlights, they still own the vertical DRL lighting.

      a c I literally just finished explaining that. Yes, the headlights on the current Escalade are considered vertically integrated LEDs, one of very few Cadillac’s that feature this design. In fact, the current Escalade is the *only* Cadillac that features vertically integrated headlights which is why _it_ particularly is not the reason people who are familiar with the brand says “Cadillac owns the verticals”. That statement has absolutely nothing to do with their headlights as you can clearly see from the video above.💡
      This the entire point, their luxury vehicle looks nothing like the base platform interior nor exterior wise. The Escalade’s lights look nothing like the Suburban’s. I’m not sure what you’re looking at. The only similarities they share are the fact they’re both full LED setups and are horizontally designed. That’s literally it. All of the attention to details and the higher level of craftsmanship featured on the Cadillac’s exterior definitely matter when you’re paying a premium for it over the Chevrolet and GMC.

      Cocora22 the front end had to grow on me but it is absolutely gorgeous to me now. Have you seen the shots of the ESV Sport trim in black? It looks so damn sleek, badass, sinister, and luxurious. That configuration (trim and color option) really shows the front end design off well.

      mybro727 as soon as that truck shows up in my dealers show room I’ll be checking it out. I just want to see it in person. I’ve seen many of the videos but it never is the same. The thing is I’d loose so much money selling or trading mine in that it probably will not be a realistic possibility.

    • @mybro727
      @mybro727 4 роки тому

      Cocora22 Yes, although I’m more interested in the CT5 I’ll be doing the same thing once the Escalade arrives. I must check this gorgeous machine out in person. That’s the downside of trading in, you lose money. If you can afford to wait awhile, which it sounds like you can, then see if you can get into one in a couple years off lease. You should be closer to payoff on your current Escalade then you are now and it will be a bit more affordable than it‘s MSRP at the dealership brand new. Perhaps then it’ll be a more realistic possibility.

    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

    Always loved the Escalade with the signature tall linear taillights. This SUV’s competition includes the Range Rover. That vehicle has a supercharger and available diesel. The ‘Sclade deserves its own SC’d 6.2L - Brembos and a diesel option as well. It should be all-out on its design and class leading. Was taken back by the huge grill and hoped it was going to be more muted but this video helps to see it less of a gang-banger’s ride and more of an element of evolutionary design. I like it. Interior is beautiful & hopefully real wood or quality materials. Good Nav and cameras and compact console shifter is perfect. Incredible vehicle.

I like having buttons and switches and knobs, etc. All of that stuff just about went away sometime around 2015-forward. I don't mind the technological advances and the improved safety that comes with it and all. But, honestly, I look at computers all day - at work, at home, my phone, my tablet... It's too much. You can't even really work on or fix your own car these days. There's no room under the hood and everything is computerized to the point of excess. $$$$$$$$

The Navigator from the Lincoln camp I hate to say this. Looks like they accomplished what they set out to do. I think there my be a repeat of 1985. That is when Cadillac shrank there models severely for fear of a gas crisis, that never came! Buyers jumped ship Lincoln welcomed them with no problem.

  • @discoverlight

    With all due respect to the designer, I think he must had to keep the headlights bigger I think the front end with the grill and the rest of the elements looks very big which it’s amazing but the headlights are quite a big small to match it, I like the design of the headlights but they should be a little bigger there’s too much blank space in there. For the rest they killed it. I love it.

  • @tedfox2683

    That’s a beautiful vehicle. Too bad when the shocks lock up in the back or when the front shocks starts leaking hydraulic fluid Right out of warranty it’s gonna cost you an arm and a leg to repair. And when you get up to 85,000 and the AMF hydraulic lifters take out the camshaft lobe that’s also gonna cost you thousands to repair plus all the electronics with the built-in failures before 100,000 and let’s not forget that you have to reseal the engine every 100k. Hopefully they fix the AC condenser that would crack at the weld At the upper driver side section of the condenser. That usually goes out right after warranty. Do yourself a favor and buy a Toyota tundra. Yes the gas mileage sucks but in the long run you’re not running it to your mechanic to repair it and spending thousands to keep it on the road. If you want to vehicle that’s super dependable and you do not like spending money on repairs go get you a Toyota tundra with a 5.7 I force engine.
