We went with the Grand Wagoneer. The second row seating with the center console is perfect for our teens. My favorite feature is the 6.4 liter V8. It sounds amazing.
Congratulation on the NEW TRUCK🚂 . thank goodness your a real man because the government owns GMC , so they steal their parts from Islam and India and are terrible & cheap. GMC went bankrupt 8 times in the last 15 years!
If you think that is amazing, you should experience the high output 510hp 3.0 litre in-line 6 cylinder with 500 lb-ft of torque. it blows the 6.4 liter v-8 completely away!
@@stevechimelski4557….no, it doesn’t. The V8 suits the character of this car so much better as it feels more tactile, more gentle giant and that’s what these cars are all about… so, no V6TT for me please… btw, the same is to observe in the Supercars Industry where V6TT spec sheets looks nice with lots of power and torque but simply lose on character and feel. Not even talking about reliability, fuel thirst or the ability to drive with LPG…🤷🏻♂️
@@stevechimelski4557 The I6 engine is too high strung. It has more power out of the gate but not much. The V8 does almost as much power and is way more relaxed. It will last longer. MORE IMPORTANTLY! The V8 sounds soooo good. I just bought one with the 6.4 and it sounds AMAZING. Plenty of power.
These vehicles are targeted to high end CEO’s not your general citizens, that live pay check to pay check. Plus in Canada 🇨🇦 you will get hit with another 10% luxury tax on top of HST putting these vehicles into 160 thousand out the door. Coming soon in 2022.🤑😳😬
I saw a blacked out escalade the other day with black wheels too and I though man that looks menacing. Im not a big blingy car guy, but that thing looked incredible. The Jeep looks weird in every color, and with the white escalade here the grill just looks ridiculously large. With all these $100k luxury suvs it’s all about looks in my mind. Tech, powertrain, and interior theyre all pretty well matched.
You think someone who can afford a $110k vehicle keeps it more than 5 years? No. Literally the day the warranty is up, they trade up to the next latest and greatest thing.
@@jakes5530 the folks you're describing (the ones that want the latest, greatest) tend to lease for 24-36mo; they never own the vehicle.

The ones that do actually lease them and write them off as a business expense at the end of the year.

The Grand Wagoneer has a more understated luxury instead of the Cadillac’s in your face luxury. Neither is bad, just personal preference. I’m more of a Jeep fan.
For those who don't know or forgot or never read, off-road awards STOPPED the day they turned the GrandCherokee from the WJ to the WK.

Actually, they don't. We're still a long way from that. What they do is take some of the stress off. Something you might appreciate on an all-day cross-country drive.
We just bought a 2022 grand wagoneer obsidian and we love it. Didn’t like the escalade as much. The 6.4 for a luxury truck still sounds good taking off and the interior on the grand is just next level
I agree. I drove them all. The GM giants were sluggish and stopped horribly. I got the Grand Wagoneer L Series III and it has things you can't even get in the Escalade.
That’s a great point, but if you look at the terms of a lease the contract tells you by how much of a deposit they require you to pay upfront, it’s called negative equity. They know how much of the value will depreciate during the length of the lease.
Saying you own an Escalade means something. No one cares you own a Jeep. That matters for many people - especially for this price. Branding matters and Jeep has never been known for luxury and I would say it's the opposite of luxury.
@@1234tellmewhatyourlookingfor for sure. It definitely goes both ways but it’s hard to imagine people who don’t want luxury when spending $120k on a vehicle.
I don't know if it was your microphone but the Jeep sounded much more quieter than the Escalade the Cadillac sounded like a lot of wind noise whereas the Grand Wagoneer it was much less road noise. If it was my money I'd chose the Jeep they've done their homework now I would love to see if they will offer the EcoDiesel or a Hybrid option later on in the next couple years.
I noticed that to, but as you suspect, the mic could have been adjusted differently. Not to mention, there are so many thing that could effect the sound quality. Like wind speed etc.
Naw this is true. I have a 2016 grand Cherokee and my cabin noise is so quiet because of the laminated windows. Grand wagoneer definitely got that too haha
These SUV's are getting so big! Why not have a set of third doors for those third seat passengers. Seems silly to have to climb in behind the second row seats.
U do know that Chryslers products are shit right, as in dodge and jeep. If u like the wagoneer because of the looks better that’s fine but if ur talking about reliability the Escalade is a lot more reliable then the jeep
I'll say one thing about the Cadillac, it has one of the most distinctive styling in the car industry - especially its lighting (I prefer the amber turn signals). Nothing else on the road looks like it. Even without the badging you can tell its a Cadillac. Anyway, it would appear that you have a very long torso, so that contributes to your headroom even more than total height. Still, that body type makes for a better test since it goes down from there. In addition, the Cadillac there is a long wheelbase version of that vehicle. Jeep/RAM is probably the ONLY company (beyond premium sedans) that take into account the comfort and quality of its rear seat passengers. Outside of Jeep, who would bother with stitched armrests in the rear? In every other car company, regardless of type, the rear compartment is always the equivalent to second-class. For example, nobody else builds a car with power, massaging, or even ventilated rear seats. Too bad you didn't mention anything about the sound system or controls, but I guess we have to tune in to DD if we want all the quirks and features of the automobiles.
@@johnadkins3466 That's something that distinguished Stellantis product above all other carmakers. When you sit in the rear seats its not like you're sitting in steerage. There's just as much attention to detail and comfort as they put into the first row. Because you sit higher, you don't feel like a second class citizen. The only thing missing is of course would be the ability to adjust the height, so even your Sumo brothers can be comfortable. One of the few justifiable reasons to own these types of vehicles.
My opinion on the Escalade vs Grand Wagoneer continues to change. Exterior: Escalade. It screams luxury when you see one on the road. Interior: Undecided. I like the seats and the sound system in the Escalade. I like the passenger side screen, the second row console and the third row amenities in the Grand Wagoneer. The screens in both vehicles are exceptional. Engine: Grand Wagoneer I look forward to test driving each SUV in the near future. Regardless of the looks and amenities, how each vehicle feels on the road will be my deciding factor.
Great review mate. You and pops are great together. Nice touch in the baby seats/options for securing. Now overall looks I would go with Cadillac. Overall Interior design look will go to Jeep. Engine yes the 6.2 is great but 6.4 just has more guts. Now the GM does come with 10A advantage. Really all 3 American big SUVs are awesome
@@gbaby4rb64 listen I’m not knocking your experience but I have had tested many 10 speeds ( my channel ) vs 8 speed and the 10 speeds shift quicker and do offer a slight mpg advantage. The vehicles acceleration should also be quicker on 10A. Rear end gearing and tuning matter too. I got no issues with 8 speed but in my experiences the 10 does everything the 8 does but even better.
If I have to have my hands on the wheel, or look forward and pay attention as if I am driving I may as well just drive the damn thing myself😪 I can see a future when most cars have become "smart" the autonomous driving will be alot easier to program, what with them all being able to communicate and even form trains to draft and become more efficient...and I can also hopefully have my car take me home after the Christmas party so I don't have to go back in the morning 🤣
I love what Jeep did here minus the cheap piano black plastic inside. Escalade is not a looker in my opinion and the interior is straight up Chevy/GMC parts bin minus the screen. If the Escalade didn't have its multiple small screens (reviewers call it one screen but its multiple smaller OLED screens laid on top of one another) in one, it would not be as hyped as it is. I think the amount of screens in both of these two are a bit out of hand. Was not impressed with my time inside the Escalade. I would go Navigator or X7 over both of these two here personally
I love how the middle seats flip forward on the Escalade. That is how they worked on my 15 Suburban. If you flip the middle seats up and you sit in the back it is like being in a limousine.
That Cadillac will be dirt cheap at around 120k miles, right before the oil pump belt is about to fail and the transmission will have to be removed to replace it.
I do not understand why General Motors got rid of the cubby Behind the touch screen. It is nice to see that Jeep Had the good sense to put one in. I love that feature in my 15 suburban especially since you can put in a 4 digit pin to lock people out.
Maybe I missed it, but did you guys compared the audio quality on both vehicles ? The Caddy has one of the most amazing sound systems installed from factory. Sound system is something very important on luxury vehicles.
I've heard neither system and probably never will. I'm sure both are plenty good but the Grand Wagoneer has the McIntosh system with the illuminated logos on the doors. I'd buy the Wagoneer just for that feature alone
Bought the GW bc the Interior like you, it's just gorgeous. Love the Escalade but over here in Florida the dealership wants to add a Market Adjustemt Fee of up to 20k on the price. 20k on top of the final price is a joke and I don't know how they can do that. I get demand is high and product is limited but that's insane wanting 20k on top of it.
@@spyder61man I know, I tried reasoning with them saying I'll just go and buy a Grand Wagoneer and save me that 20k and they didn't want to budge. Not even come down a bit. I think it's insane if your building one they add that MAF. Not that it matters to them but man they lost me as a customer. Kia did the same thing, I'm like your bugging if you think I'm spending 60k+ for a Telluride, adding a MAF of 5k. I can't wait to get my Fully Loaded GW in 2 weeks!! 2 months of waiting
@@bernardking13 You can't reason with them when it comes to money. Dealers have screwed people who order cars, selling them from under those people. Sometimes they do it in their face. Saying somebody is willing to pay more for the car you ordered, do you care to match?? If you still do business with a dealer that treats you like that, what does that say about the person that lays down for that???
I feel you! Basically for the same price the Cadillac Escalade is a no brainer. But 20k over MSRP? That’s not fair especially knowing there are customers who paid much closer to MSRP! That dealership has lost their minds. The Jeep is a great American alternative but it ain’t a *Cadillac Escalade.* The “Escalade V” is about to be revealed soon. The release of that trim should hurt standard Escalade dealership markups substantially.
Cadillac logo has changed through the years when I was kid it had the crest with little ducks in it and a V shape for "De Ville" or a wreath for the high end "brougham". Or just the crest with the ducks. I love the new style. So in the history of Cadillac I believe there have been 8 logos mods. As for kick for gate "up to the body on left side" (I have a Cad) or you can press crest as mentioned by Eisa.
I’ll go for grand wagoneer because it’s super luxurious and still has that off road quality Escalade still lacks that’s why most people in the Middle East and africa prefer Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus instead the grand wagoneer might just add to it soon especially when they do a little bit of tweaks to some parts of the exterior
Remember, the Escalade has an ESV option for a bigger 3rd row. Looking at Cadillac pictures the 3rd row appears to have a padded armrest, too. Maybe not on your trim?
The ESV has more room but bucket seats in second row. You haul one less person. I have owned 4 esclades over the years, the ESV platform is easier for your passengers. I have not driven the Grand Wagoner, but historically Chrysler has gone over the top with Luxury. When you compare the Ram Limited to the competition it's far better.
The 6.4 and 8HP have been around since 2011 with little to no issues. The thing does have a ton electronics though, which with any vehicle can pose long term concerns.
It pains me to say this, but without the display screens in the second row of the wagoneer, I’d take it hands down. I really do like the look, the Jeep seems more capable, and if I had to spend that kinda money on a vehicle, it would be my choice
The Jeep may have expensive parts inside and out BUT it doesn't look high end. The Cadillac is more of an executive class without screaming overly designed and accented in chrome and glossy black and faux wood finish.
I’ve had an escalade and now a new wagoneer. I absolutely love the look of escalade, however, Wagoneer hits on practicality. Simple things; hitting the cooling/heat. Wagoneer is very simple when it comes to climate control. Which is positioned under the screen and is more manual. Not sure about the new Escalades you used to have to slide. Which was totally an annoyance and keeps your left hand further away from the steering column. Always had electricity problems with Escalades and the screens on Escalades always have faulty issues…hoping wagoneer doesn’t have the same issues. The 2022 Wagoneer, has amazing features. Especially with passenger control. The real version of navigator. In the wagoneer…The sensors will also inform you if have something in the rear/back. It’s a nice friendly reminder, for busy people. More head room in Wagoneer, but Escalade has a an elite look. Both have there strengths. It depends what you use the vehicle for.
The grand wagoneer looks like the Durango’s older-yet-slightly-more-unattractive sibling. I definitely agree that there is something awkward with how the rear 3/4 and rear in general is styled. The rest of the truck looks regal and elegant while the Cadillac is intimidatingly bold, razor sharp and MODERN. The Escalade is the CAPS LOCK of large suvs.
Personally, I like the look of the Wagoneer way better. I feel like the last 2 generations of the Escalade has been absolutely ugly. Too many geometric shapes and futuristic looking, just not a good look on a big SUV in my opinion. Even the interior is better looking on the Jeep. Win all the way around for the Jeep.
It's the opposite for me. Exterior too boxy from the side and rear angles. The square windows look like they took it out of a boat. Interior wise it looks amazing but exterior is unattractive.
@@Nestle245 Say what you will about boxy designs, but they are the most practical shape for people and their cargo. No silly sporty coupe shaped SUVs where the sloping roof line cuts into head room and sacrifices valuable cargo space.
Great review. Are the Escalade cameras really that pixelated and bad? The 360 view looks like a child's toy. I'm very surprised at how bad they look. Maybe it's just the video. This comparison is great. My dad has been looking at both of these. Thanks!
If you’re gonna do a comparison, you should’ve gotten the same alike cars you got a long Wagoneer you should’ve got the long Cadillac. You got captain chairs in the jeep in the middle row. You should’ve got Captain chairs on the Cadillac. The engines should’ve been a 6.2 on a Caddy and 6.4 on the jeep. Do a comparison of two auto makers that are alike.
I would take the JGW over the Escalade any day. Better interior. Better styling. More distinct. More brand heritage. Less Housewives of Beverly Hills. Likely more reliable too. I have owned recent Cadillacs and FCA (now Stellantis) vehicles. I trust Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep more TBH. Cadillac has worsened while FCA has improved. (See the CT6 for example). Badass car. Terrible reliability. I chose the Continental 3.0 TT AWD Black Label over the mechanically superior CT6 3.0 TT AWD Platinum because of it's reliability history. It's too bad because Cadillac (cars, not trucks) makes world-class chassis.
(Outside of this vehicle shortage) Only a moron would choose the Wagoneer over the Escalade!! And just for clarification: '83 Dodge Diplomat '85 Chrysler Fifth Avenue New Yorker 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie 2019 Ram 1500 Limited I have spent my fair share of money with Chrysler. The main reason I would never buy a Wagoneer over an Escalade is price and resale value. I can just hear family member saying "you paid $130,000 for this?" Which means when you go to try and sell it, there's no way in hell you're going to get the same money for a used Grand Wagoneer as you will for a used Escalade. I have also worked for both brands and can tell you with out question, no matter which dealership you go to, when you bring your Grand Wagoneer in for service it will be at a Chrysler dealership as opposed to your Escalade being serviced at a Cadillac dealership. We currently own the 2019 limited and a 2021 Mercedes GLB250(wife's) and there is no comparison between the service departments. Luxury brands treat their clients differently. The Escalade looks like it cost $130,000, be honest didn't you kind of expect the grand wagoneers price to top out around 85k? Maybe 90k max, over 100k is ridiculous.
Well done guys. Prices are ouch!!! But both are nice and have cool tech. Now only good when it works. My pick overall would be Wagoneer. Inside and out.
Both the Escalade and Grand Wagoneer are very nice in and out. Jeep cannot demand the same price as the Cadillac. I will take the Escalade with the 6.2L. No diesels in a luxury SUV unless you are towing. I will take a Rubicon or Cherokee if going off-road. Cadillac is only for pavement!

Other than that great review I'll take the Caddy it does not depreciate as fast as most of the people on here thinks it does.

@@gbaby4rb64 listen I’m not knocking your experience but I have had tested many 10 speeds ( my channel ) vs 8 speed and the 10 speeds shift quicker and do offer a slight mpg advantage. The vehicles acceleration should also be quicker on 10A. Rear end gearing and tuning matter too. I got no issues with 8 speed but in my experiences the 10 does everything the 8 does but even better.
Blacked out Caddy with the Duramax.
If I have to have my hands on the wheel, or look forward and pay attention as if I am driving I may as well just drive the damn thing myself😪 I can see a future when most cars have become "smart" the autonomous driving will be alot easier to program, what with them all being able to communicate and even form trains to draft and become more efficient...and I can also hopefully have my car take me home after the Christmas party so I don't have to go back in the morning 🤣
I love what Jeep did here minus the cheap piano black plastic inside. Escalade is not a looker in my opinion and the interior is straight up Chevy/GMC parts bin minus the screen. If the Escalade didn't have its multiple small screens (reviewers call it one screen but its multiple smaller OLED screens laid on top of one another) in one, it would not be as hyped as it is. I think the amount of screens in both of these two are a bit out of hand. Was not impressed with my time inside the Escalade. I would go Navigator or X7 over both of these two here personally
Again a pointless comparison. GM's 6.2 would have been a better comparison but no one does comparisons that makes sense anymore.
I love how the middle seats flip forward on the Escalade. That is how they worked on my 15 Suburban. If you flip the middle seats up and you sit in the back it is like being in a limousine.
Until you let the seat down on your foot. I'm not a fan of the flip seats myself.
That Cadillac will be dirt cheap at around 120k miles, right before the oil pump belt is about to fail and the transmission will have to be removed to replace it.
(1) Isn't the scheduled replacement around $140K? (2) I don't think a one-time $2K job will have a huge influence on the value of a $120K vehicle.
I would pick the Wagoneer. That interior is insane! I don't need that much room however so I wouldn't be shopping for a vehicle that big.
It would have been a better comparison if you guys had the Obsidian Grand Wagoneer
I do not understand why General Motors got rid of the cubby Behind the touch screen. It is nice to see that Jeep Had the good sense to put one in. I love that feature in my 15 suburban especially since you can put in a 4 digit pin to lock people out.
Maybe I missed it, but did you guys compared the audio quality on both vehicles ? The Caddy has one of the most amazing sound systems installed from factory.
Sound system is something very important on luxury vehicles.
no we didn’t. Dad won’t let me turn them on.
The wagoneer actually has a McIntosh MX950 Entertainment Sys with 19 Speakers it sounds incredible.
I’ve had both an Escalade and now the new Wagoneer….. Wagoneer wins
I've heard neither system and probably never will. I'm sure both are plenty good but the Grand Wagoneer has the McIntosh system with the illuminated logos on the doors. I'd buy the Wagoneer just for that feature alone
23 speakers.. and they've made the jeep even longer
I would get the cadillac Escalade
I actually prefer the Escalate even though I'm not usually a GM fan. Waiting on that Tundra review I saw in the backround at 15:09
I like the wagoneer but that side view and back looks funny to me
Bought the GW bc the Interior like you, it's just gorgeous. Love the Escalade but over here in Florida the dealership wants to add a Market Adjustemt Fee of up to 20k on the price. 20k on top of the final price is a joke and I don't know how they can do that. I get demand is high and product is limited but that's insane wanting 20k on top of it.
Dealers can do whatever they want to do on price, now it is up to you whether you let them give you the high hard one???
@@spyder61man I know, I tried reasoning with them saying I'll just go and buy a Grand Wagoneer and save me that 20k and they didn't want to budge. Not even come down a bit. I think it's insane if your building one they add that MAF. Not that it matters to them but man they lost me as a customer. Kia did the same thing, I'm like your bugging if you think I'm spending 60k+ for a Telluride, adding a MAF of 5k. I can't wait to get my Fully Loaded GW in 2 weeks!! 2 months of waiting
@@bernardking13 You can't reason with them when it comes to money. Dealers have screwed people who order cars, selling them from under those people. Sometimes they do it in their face. Saying somebody is willing to pay more for the car you ordered, do you care to match?? If you still do business with a dealer that treats you like that, what does that say about the person that lays down for that???
@@spyder61man true, but i guess these people want a Cadallic that badly lol
I feel you! Basically for the same price the Cadillac Escalade is a no brainer. But 20k over MSRP? That’s not fair especially knowing there are customers who paid much closer to MSRP! That dealership has lost their minds. The Jeep is a great American alternative but it ain’t a *Cadillac Escalade.* The “Escalade V” is about to be revealed soon. The release of that trim should hurt standard Escalade dealership markups substantially.
The caddie has a more smooth look but i like the wagoneer bc it looks more agressive
Cadillac logo has changed through the years when I was kid it had the crest with little ducks in it and a V shape for "De Ville" or a wreath for the high end "brougham". Or just the crest with the ducks. I love the new style. So in the history of Cadillac I believe there have been 8 logos mods. As for kick for gate "up to the body on left side" (I have a Cad) or you can press crest as mentioned by Eisa.
I enjoy your reviews! Shame that the Grand Wagoneer doesn't have wood paneling. 😀😀😀
Have you a thumbs up for your thumbnail, wish I could give another for the wood paneling comment
FDT too.
Oh but it does. It’s just an option for an increased price.
BS it does have real wood ////////////////////////////// why lie are you a GM guy??????????????????????
i would get the escalade
Cadillac has better looking exterior but Grand Wagoneer has better interiors. Except for the curved screen on the Escalade that's more sexy.
It’s seems that Jeep 🚙 made sure all passengers in the grand wagoner are sitting in luxury as well
Yess , It’s just missing a third door. 😂
Something only Stellantis does.
I’ll go for grand wagoneer because it’s super luxurious and still has that off road quality Escalade still lacks that’s why most people in the Middle East and africa prefer Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus instead the grand wagoneer might just add to it soon especially when they do a little bit of tweaks to some parts of the exterior
You’re NEVER going to take that off road stop kidding yourself!! 🤣😂
@@The1Karking lol not when you’re living in Africa even salon cars are taken off road in some areas especially rural areas😂
Remember, the Escalade has an ESV option for a bigger 3rd row. Looking at Cadillac pictures the 3rd row appears to have a padded armrest, too. Maybe not on your trim?
Yes your right the caddy has padding on the rear armrest
I think what he meant about the Caddy was that the armrest is not as nice as the Jeep(actually leather-stitched).
The ESV has more room but bucket seats in second row.
You haul one less person.
I have owned 4 esclades over the years, the ESV platform is easier for your passengers.
I have not driven the Grand Wagoner, but historically Chrysler has gone over the top with Luxury.
When you compare the Ram Limited to the competition it's far better.
Not a fan of Cadillac’s small headlights and I question the long-term reliability of the Jeep.
The 6.4 and 8HP have been around since 2011 with little to no issues. The thing does have a ton electronics though, which with any vehicle can pose long term concerns.
That jeep will last twenty years
There is no road presence on Jeep like Cadillac at all .... for Escalade you have a huge road presence while driving it .... it is big different !
The Cadillac and Lincoln are still running the penthouse!
It pains me to say this, but without the display screens in the second row of the wagoneer, I’d take it hands down. I really do like the look, the Jeep seems more capable, and if I had to spend that kinda money on a vehicle, it would be my choice
i just sold my 2021 escalade for a 2022 grand wagoneer s3 and i dont regret it at all
The Jeep may have expensive parts inside and out BUT it doesn't look high end. The Cadillac is more of an executive class without screaming overly designed and accented in chrome and glossy black and faux wood finish.
Wagoneer is trying to be a mish mash of all brands put together. Escalade is in a class of its own. Can’t be matched.
I’ve had an escalade and now a new wagoneer. I absolutely love the look of escalade, however, Wagoneer hits on practicality.
Simple things; hitting the cooling/heat. Wagoneer is very simple when it comes to climate control. Which is positioned under the screen and is more manual.
Not sure about the new Escalades you used to have to slide. Which was totally an annoyance and keeps your left hand further away from the steering column.
Always had electricity problems with Escalades and the screens on Escalades always have faulty issues…hoping wagoneer doesn’t have the same issues.
The 2022 Wagoneer, has amazing features. Especially with passenger control. The real version of navigator.
In the wagoneer…The sensors will also inform you if have something in the rear/back. It’s a nice friendly reminder, for busy people.
More head room in Wagoneer, but Escalade has a an elite look.
Both have there strengths. It depends what you use the vehicle for.
Do you have the McIntosh system?
@@DJR5280 it does. 19 speakers. Insane nice
Between the two I would go with the 2023 Lincoln Navigator, and actually I did 😄
I still believe the Lincoln is a much better truck SUV
The grand wagoneer looks like the Durango’s older-yet-slightly-more-unattractive sibling. I definitely agree that there is something awkward with how the rear 3/4 and rear in general is styled. The rest of the truck looks regal and elegant while the Cadillac is intimidatingly bold, razor sharp and MODERN. The Escalade is the CAPS LOCK of large suvs.
Pretty sure u press the Cadillac emblem in the back to open the tailgate
You open the tailgate on the Escalade by pressing the emblem
Saw that new Tundra in your yard. I hope there is a review coming soon.
The problem with the wagoner looks are the huge painted pillars. It looks terrible imo.
The Obsidian can black out the chrome around the pillar and in black it looks great
I hate it too, it looks terrible.
Personally, I like the look of the Wagoneer way better. I feel like the last 2 generations of the Escalade has been absolutely ugly. Too many geometric shapes and futuristic looking, just not a good look on a big SUV in my opinion. Even the interior is better looking on the Jeep. Win all the way around for the Jeep.
Thought i was the only one who thought the escalade was ugly..inside and out...
Makes no sense. The design is evolutionary. Meaning if you hate one, you hate them all.
I actually kinda liked the other ones..its just this new escalade is putrid to me...inside and out..
It's the opposite for me. Exterior too boxy from the side and rear angles. The square windows look like they took it out of a boat. Interior wise it looks amazing but exterior is unattractive.
@@Nestle245 Say what you will about boxy designs, but they are the most practical shape for people and their cargo. No silly sporty coupe shaped SUVs where the sloping roof line cuts into head room and sacrifices valuable cargo space.
Love the look of the Jeep inside and out.
Time to go muddin, with $ 200k worth of suv's
Great review. Are the Escalade cameras really that pixelated and bad? The 360 view looks like a child's toy. I'm very surprised at how bad they look. Maybe it's just the video.
This comparison is great. My dad has been looking at both of these. Thanks!
they could be better.
The problem with Cadillac after 5 years it’s feels wore out and junky and no resale value
A non-wrangler jeep is the same way.
If you’re gonna do a comparison, you should’ve gotten the same alike cars you got a long Wagoneer you should’ve got the long Cadillac. You got captain chairs in the jeep in the middle row. You should’ve got Captain chairs on the Cadillac. The engines should’ve been a 6.2 on a Caddy and 6.4 on the jeep. Do a comparison of two auto makers that are alike.
Not in the same level as the Escalade. Still king.
With the quality of gm now no thanks.
These 2 trucks should have 24" rims
Point on comparison with great details of both vehicles. This father and son has great chemistry and team work.
@ 15:08 Tundra?
I would take the JGW over the Escalade any day. Better interior. Better styling. More distinct. More brand heritage. Less Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Likely more reliable too. I have owned recent Cadillacs and FCA (now Stellantis) vehicles. I trust Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep more TBH. Cadillac has worsened while FCA has improved. (See the CT6 for example). Badass car. Terrible reliability. I chose the Continental 3.0 TT AWD Black Label over the mechanically superior CT6 3.0 TT AWD Platinum because of it's reliability history. It's too bad because Cadillac (cars, not trucks) makes world-class chassis.
(Outside of this vehicle shortage)
Only a moron would choose the Wagoneer over the Escalade!!
And just for clarification:
'83 Dodge Diplomat
'85 Chrysler Fifth Avenue New Yorker
2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
2014 Ram 1500 Laramie
2019 Ram 1500 Limited
I have spent my fair share of money with Chrysler. The main reason I would never buy a Wagoneer over an Escalade is price and resale value. I can just hear family member saying "you paid $130,000 for this?" Which means when you go to try and sell it, there's no way in hell you're going to get the same money for a used Grand Wagoneer as you will for a used Escalade.
I have also worked for both brands and can tell you with out question, no matter which dealership you go to, when you bring your Grand Wagoneer in for service it will be at a Chrysler dealership as opposed to your Escalade being serviced at a Cadillac dealership. We currently own the 2019 limited and a 2021 Mercedes GLB250(wife's) and there is no comparison between the service departments. Luxury brands treat their clients differently. The Escalade looks like it cost $130,000, be honest didn't you kind of expect the grand wagoneers price to top out around 85k? Maybe 90k max, over 100k is ridiculous.
Well done guys. Prices are ouch!!! But both are nice and have cool tech. Now only good when it works. My pick overall would be Wagoneer. Inside and out.
Both the Escalade and Grand Wagoneer are very nice in and out. Jeep cannot demand the same price as the Cadillac.
I will take the Escalade with the 6.2L. No diesels in a luxury SUV unless you are towing.
I will take a Rubicon or Cherokee if going off-road. Cadillac is only for pavement!
When you're getting to that price point, another $10,000 and drop the 6.6 duramax in the Escalade
How much did you pay for that grand jeep?... $130,000 🤦🤦😵💫😵💫🤯🤯🤯🤯 you've done lost your mind 😂😂😂😂😂
Escalade hands down nicer looking vehicle. GW looks goofy with that back end.
that’s what I was thinking. The GW just looks silly, and it’ll break down within the next year with all that tech to fail…

I’ll take the Cadillac all day and twice on Sunday! That jeep is just plain GOOFY!
The Cadillac emblem on the back door is the opening button for the rear hatch. Come on do the research before you do the video.
I just saw a Tundra @15:12 i cant wait for their full review
Coming soon!
@Truck King You all do know that the Cadillac emblem on the rear hatch is the button to open it. There are countless of reviews before yours including one from Cadillac itself that explain this. Other than that great review I'll take the Caddy it does not depreciate as fast as most of the people on here thinks it does. And I have seen most people get rid of their Lexus the moment something happens because they are so expensive to fix it is not even funny.
