The Cadillac Escalade nameplate was first marketed in 1999 and was designed to directly challenge the Lexus LX and Ford's Lincoln Navigator. The latest Escalade comes with two engine versions, the first being the diesel that develops 277 hp, with 460 lb-ft of torque and the second one gasoline, with a V8 engine that develops a whopping 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Both are paired with a 10-speed automatic. The mesmerizing evolution of the big luxury SUV has come to its peak through the latest model, as it reflects a fluid combination between tradition and technology. Some of the highlighted strengths added in this interpretation are the innovative 38-inch curved screen for the front passengers, an augmented reality-enabled navigation (which uses live street views with directional overlays) and two 12.6 inch independent touch displays at the rear, with navigation as well as streaming capability to play games, music and videos through HDMI and USB inputs. The Cadillac Escalade is more spacious than before, with up to 40 percent more third-row legroom and a 68 percent boost in maximum cargo space behind the third row, in the standard version. The model stands true to its DNA through the brand's signature vertical lighting element with a new complementary horizontal headlamp for a more confident look.
