Everyone who owns one loves em.
Everyone who doesn’t wants one.
Everyone who hates em, haven’t driven one.
Just bought a new 2019 Escalade & got a great end of the year deal. Having had 2 of the previous model Escalades I knew I wanted another one. They continue to set the standard for luxury SUV's. I got a black one this time and it's currently having a ceramic coat put on to make it easier to clean and maintain. It looks absolutely gorgeous! Looking forward to it being my daily driver!
Awesome! It’s definitely a great suv!
I'm looking at a 2018 black-on-black ESV. how did you like the ceramic coating?
I am not rich just have a good job and I have a 2017 Cadillac Escalade. My dream car and I love it!
Whats your job?
10,000 Subscribers With No Videos Cadillacs aren’t that expensive u can get used with low km for less then 55k and in Canada it’s like 65-70
iwoww 562 They’re reliable. I have a 2010 and no problems.
My wife has a 2017 Cadillac Escalade and it has the 8 speed transmission. We bought it used I love the car wish it had the 10 speed transmission, overall it’s a great vehicle. ✌🏻
They are great cars for sure.
Driveway Demons the 8 speed trans is not as good as my Ram. 😁
I want to get one I’m not rich lol but thinking about getting one used (base model) Are these good suvs because I was looking at Ford Explorer and Nissan Armadas and GMC Yukon What are the base models called and what used model should I go for. Also how much gas you put in it to fill it up if you are at Half
@@GetSocialButterflyslippy 8speed aint as good as this 10speed 10l80🙌
I prefer a cigarette lighter socket because I can purchase a faster charger to use for my phone. My phone uses power delivery so using a 3rd party charger will be more efficient and effective. Awesome video.
All car reviews should be modeled after this dude, very thorough and enjoyable to watch.
Thanks buddy! I appreciate it.
I'm torn between an Escalade & Range Rover SPORT. I know, different classes but I love both! Drove a Supercharged V8 550 HP Rover SPORT & it was AWESOME. Drove a 2018 Escalade (not sure the trim) and it was AWESOME. I guess it's going to come down to which one is more reliable, less headache.
I own the Platinum Edition, quality through and through
Agreed
i have gmc denali 2019 its preety good tuck i love my tuck
Robert Jr Walker what’s wrong with your “R” it’s Truck not Tuck!
I own a 2017 platinum esv I love it
On the premium and up there's a USB under the rear hvac controls
Yes indeed! I wish they all had it, however its still an awesome suv.
I’d rather have lighter adapters than USB ports. You have more options with the lighter adapter, especially if you want more than one thing plugged in at the same time
Very expensive, but it's for the rich, not the poor!!! Yes, Millionaires and Billionaires, So the rest of us just need to stay in our lane! Don't hate!
Millionaire and billionaire? Lmao not that expensive, that’s more Bentley, Rolls Royce and Porche. This is more for upper middle class
Lol the lightning USB chargers plug into the cigarette lighters. The best vehicle chargers on the market today. = charge super fast!!!
I noticed the ones that maintained their vehicles beyond minimum have a much better experience than those that simply keep up with the oil changes. And given the size of the engine I’d use at least mid grade fuel with the fuel injectors cleaners and octane boosters. My vehicles have been lasting longer than the ones I didn’t look after the fuel system regularly (monthly) at least
I’m super happy with my Escalade
since the USB ports are up front; with cig lighters in the back; you have to buy those cig lighter with USB; so that you can charge phone and tablets; lets hope the car dealer provide that type of accessory.... anyway good review; it's my dream car, plan on purchasing toward the end of year, for 2021.....
i was thinking of purchasing a cadillac, but no longer, i CAN NOT support a company we aided then gave us the middle finger, they do not care about the customers just the share holders, so now i am going to purchase the Lincoln Navigator Platinum L edition
Lincoln is basically Ford
I would buy a Lincoln Navigator over this in a heartbeat. This is a rebadged GMC. The newest Lincoln Navigator and Aviator SUVs are not just rebadged Fords.
There is no comparison between the GLS and the Escalade. Would purchase a GLS vs. an Escalade any day.
Chris Worsham the biggest POS I ever owned was a Lincoln
I love your review because it’s really objective . I have the 2018 Luxury and it does have USB ports right under the digital controls for the second row seats. It also has a regular prong type socket to connect a conventional plug on the lower left close to the floor. Plus on the right rear in the trunk also 2 USB ports that people in the 3rd row can reach. It’s surprising that the 2019 doesn’t have them. Is it possible you just missed seeing them? They are not easy to see in the dark interior. From your description I don’t see anything that the 2019 has that the 2018 doesn’t have. Unless you get the Platinum that has the extra bells and whistles. I agree with you on selecting the Escalade I considered the Mercedez 450 but everything was a lacarte. So if you wanted USB ports you had to add it, if you wanted a v8 engine you had to go up to the 550. In the end I thought I got a better deal, more comfort and definitely more bang for my buck. I went from 2 previous Yukon Denali trucks to this and I don’t regret it for a second.
Thanks for watching 💪🏻 I didn’t see those but thanks for pointing it out. It was hard to see in there for sure lol
I checked this out at the LA auto show and I thought it was nice until I checked out the navigator. They are in different leagues. I couldn’t even believe how comfortable the Navigator was. Do yourselves a favor; if you’re in the market for a large luxury suv check them both out. You’ll see what I mean.
OrangeManBad.MP4 yea Escalade is very far behind, but the 2021 redesign will claim the title once again
Don’t mean to double post but your reviews and videos are just awesome, thanks for your time on this review and all your other videos. ☑️🔥💯🎯⚡️
I promise iPhone isn't the only device that has haptic feedback 😂... Smartphone would be a better way to describe the feeling.
Looking to get this...the year marks a milestone...that's why I'll pick it over the 2023 class
It’s not I’m a service advisor at a cadillac dealer and the amount of things I’ve warranty repaired for customers is insane. 20k miles down the line and you will see
Driveway Demons Absolutely Amazing Review the 2019 Escalade is a absolutely amazing vehicle in every way possible
im looking at a used 2018 esv. because of the 10 speed trans, 42,000 miles very clean. im going to sell my 2011 esv
I’m getting a luxury 4wd too next weekend..I’m excited with the 10 speed also
@@sunshine48213 great, i love mine, got 55k on it now
Have you had any major issues on your 2018 so far? I’m considering a ‘19 ESV Luxury. Seems like the 10 speed transmissions were less prone to premature failure.
@@Pilot_Dad22 im at 72,000 and so far everything has been fine.
A cigarette lighter/Power adapter can be used as a USB port. But I get what your sayin.
Yea its kinda dumb they didnt put them back there.
It is a true Cadillac Escalade only if it has the gear selector lever positioned on the steering wheel column
Cadillac rules! Most beautiful car! Would never chose Mercedes over Cadillac
USB should be standard everywhere in an 80k + SUV
Keeping up with them uploads💪🏻💪🏻
Haha thanks bro!
Great review. The escalade is a great suv just expensive tho
Cigarette adapters can be used as a charging port for the car chargers that have USB ports on them...
i had to replace my engine at the cost of $8000.00 3 years ago on my 2011 escalade with 117k miles due to a lifter collapse issue that caused a bearing to come out of the block, very disappointed, i just bought a 2018 escalade with 42k miles it runs great but im concerned
For those with families or thinking of loading this vehicle with people, you should know that the third row seats are useless for anyone but a toddler. An adult...even a small person has a hard time fitting in the back seats (no foot room whatsoever) with the second row seats in the normal down and locked position. This is because of the live axel that needs room to travel. The ford offerings (expedition / navigator) use independent suspension with the RWD differential attached to a fixed location. That single change gave designers a lot more latitude in carving out room for the 3rd row seats. Try sitting in the back seats of both vehicles. You will see an incredible difference. For the GM's, I just fold the third row seats down with the highest and best use of that area being for cargo rather than seating.
That's why I went ESV. Plenty of room then.
I currently have one of these. The suspension set-up makes it very unsettled on anything other than perfect roads. Otherwise, a great car.
It is the wheels more so, unless you have a 2015 - 2016.

i have gmc denali 2019 i used to have a 2009 denali i got it used in 2017 then in 2018 i got rid of it so i got the new one
You like it?
@@geeque2079 yes i did
Are they reliable, like a Lexus?
Escalade looks so much better than those Mercedes
its not a ciggerate adapter its a 12 volt output
Nice truck too expensive for me unless you buy a 3 year old one. Good video👍
Thanks buddy
Hemi Muscle definitely buddy, everything so damn expensive these days.
My condolences... we have the 17 Eva luxury with the 10 speed... it's a beast. Looking fwd to the 2020 with the twin turbo with over 500 hp...
There is a wireless charging station in the center console
Good review bro
Thanks buddy!
love the review
Is this guy serious? Anybody that drives knows that cigarette lighter sockets are meant for accessories. Laptops, bluray players, televisions, air compressors, power inverters, video games and even. . USB CHARGERS!!!
12 volt power outlets are more versatile than USB ports. Buy a $5 12volt USB adapter. Plus you missed about 4 USB ports that are there. Not to mention the 110 volt outlet you didn't find.
I like Caddy but the new Lincoln Navigator blows the Escalade out of the water tbh
I think that escalade has the smokers package sir, so that's why there is a lot of smoking thimgs.
And thats not even the Platinum trim level!
With a cigarette lighter, they killed two birds for one stone. They satisfy the customer who wants to light up a cigar or cigarette. As well as the customer who wants to stick a cigarette lighter adapter there in, in charge of the phone or computer.
It's actually intelligent 👍✨ 🎓
Cigarette adapter is for chargers dude...
The escalade is more if the mom and dad gma and gpa kind of vehicle they wany need a usb port and they make car chargers
I have a 2016 Escalade ESV that I purchased brand new off the lot and its the biggest piece of junk I've ever bought. Terrible ride quality, countless transmission problems, and the transfer case eats itself alive when in four-wheel automatic, forcing me to always drive in 2-wheel-drive.
6.6 is not the 0-60 😂😂😂😂 its 5.9 sec
You can get the 6.2 in a yukon , and suburban btw. Also the new navigator is better
This car looks nice when it is parking in garage, but it's so unreliable on the road. I should have believed Consumer Report about its poor reliability.
I think they are going head to head with Subaru that has 19 cup holders. So one is drinking supporter and the other is smoking supporter.
Cannot justify putting a supercharger in an Escalade or any other suv for that matter. I dont see taking this to the track on the weekends. The aerodynamics aren't designed for racing. I would get a challenger or a super snake for this.
Escalade is just so luxurious it would be killer to have 700hp
ZR1 motor, awd, & warranty too. Cost a little more, sure.
Awaken the beast and unleash the kraken!!..lol good one
I love the look of Escalades and own a 2016 Cadillac Escalade. However, we have to be honest about the underpinnings of the Escalade not varying much from the Tahoe and Yukon. GM has not done enough to make the Escalade fully luxurious. As a former Range Rover owner, the Escalade’s ride quality doesn’t come close. You can feel the shutters that come through the cabin when you hit big bumps, but they have tried to mask it. It needs to get away from the truck ride quality and get better interior finishes. Still too much plastic . The synergies created by GM in scaling profit margins are incredible - virtually no difference in the guts at all across all of their trucks and SUVs. Cash Cows! The Escalade is a Tahoe in a tuxedo. I hate that the Platinum model isn’t really that much better than the other trim levels for the added costs. I wish it had a VSport engine or something and an independent rear suspension.550 horsepower at least. Also, 4WD should be standard on all of their SUVs since it is not full time 4WD. The technology package is decent though and I love the sound of my V8 engine after putting on a Corsa exhaust and cold air intake. What a beautiful sounding engine!
I'm torn between the Supercharged Range Rover SPORT and the Escalade. Love both.
@@j.jmcquade52784thgen escalades rip with a supercharger but you dont see those around alot modded
If I had the money, I'd buy a new Lincoln Navigator over this any day
Notification Squad
Mines is no good the engine at 12k miles burns oil fast 😑
How well do these Escalades retain their value? Do these extras and options hold their value or do used Escalade buyers ignore them?
$90K list. What do they sell for after 3 yrs? 5 yrs? These things matter. Not just gadgets and gizmos and this guy’s fixation on design.
When are they going to change this gear shift lever? . All large American suvs have this ugly stick.
That's one of the main reasons I didn't look further at buying one. Too manly and old. What's up with that?
we need to talk...
Rock and roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
420 crank hp v8....a 6 cylinder with turbo(s) can get way more than that.
To each it's own.
I like smaller SUVs thinking about getting a BMW x5. I own a 3 series and it's great.
Of course you are your picture is a BMW logo
An 8 cylinder with turbos can get more than a V6 with Turbos.
okay put 2 turbos on the v8😅🤡
Rather have the new Navigator!
I would not
DevPack facts
Yogur Cadillac is not the platinum
The 2019 Lincoln Navigator is much more impressive.
Roheen Samadi facts
Wait for 2021 redesign
Def not alot ppl perfer v8 torque and reliability that 3.5L twin turbo aint gonna last long and the Escalade wins in a race after 80mph without 2 turbos.
First
This didnt age well! Lom
seriously you are comparing suburban with Escalade?
😎🇺🇸👍✌🏻
Why should all american car interiors be ugly?
This SUV is a complete disappointment. I am in it as a passenger driving home from a road trip and this thing is awful... Here is what I hate...
1. Headrests are beyond annoying, they only adjust up and down, then don't lean forward and backward to adjust to your head, you basically need to sit with the seat directly upright to rest your head back.
2. The rear back up camera video quality is absolutely horrid. I rest my case about that.
3. The controls on the dash and steering wheel are extremely annoying, they are all touch capacitor sensitive and things are just layed out wacky all over the place.
We have the luxury model esv and can't wait to return this thing to the dealer after our trip. I drive a 2019 Raptor fully loaded and I must say the features (basic ones) of my Raptor just put this 100K Escalade to shame. Just such a incredibly boring SUV. We were thinking about buying one but thank God we had this one for the last week, never again, overpriced GM garbage, and the safety crash ratings aren't great either and the gas mileage sucks.
Sorry you didn’t like it. Overall there is room for some improvements but I feel like it’s a good suv. If the price came down a bit then it would be even better.
It's worth every penny, not to buy the 2019 Escalade. Especially since the new body style comes out in 2019. Nice try though.
Nice try? Try what? I reviewed a vehicle. Gave insight on it. You should take a chill pill.
@Driveway Demons chill pill? No one is upset little boy. Just don't give advice on car buying. You're garbage. Especially if you tell someone a soon to be outdated Escalade in 2019, is "worth every penny."
You haven't owned a GL450, 550 nor an Escalade, which explains why your review is useless.
Stop wasting your time and get back to what you do best, whatever that is.
Because car reviewing isn't it.
@@inglouriousbuster8005 What if the new body style sucks, genius?
@@LG123ABC I own several and use them for my transportation business. It doesn't matter what they look like, because they're new and that's what my clients pay for. At about $100k each, I pay them off in less than a year and sometimes, less than six months.
The the remaining 1-3 years I keep them, they generate quite a bit of profit.
So who's the genius and who's the idiot? I think I'm communicating with the idiot, if that gives you a clue.
Very expensive, but it's for the rich, not the poor!!! Yes, Millionaires and Billionaires, So the rest of us just need to stay in our lane! Don't hate!
LOL
