Cadillac Escalade ESV - Review

Regardless of trim level, the Escalade ESV is vast and plush. As the upscale sibling to the Chevrolet Suburban, the identically sized ESV offers three rows of seating and can accommodate up to eight people. To facilitate access to the third row, Cadillac offers an optional power fold-and-flip function for the ESV's second-row seats. With this kind of seating capability, the Cadillac Escalade ESV is understandably popular with family buyers as well. There are some low-grade plastics here and there, but in general, the Escalade ESV's cabin feels suitably upscale for a vehicle with a $60K price tag. In addition, even with all this technology on board, the control layout remains simple and user-friendly.

2013 Cadillac Escalade

Available in both standard and Platinum form, the Escalade Hybrid has a dizzying amount of technology, features and luxury to dismantle in order to fully appreciate what is on offer.
For starters, all Escalade Hybrid models feature the same powertrain, which features a 6.0-liter V8 engine with Active Fuel Management and late intake valve closing (Atkinson-cycle combustion process) for reduced pumping losses and better overall fuel economy. That gas engine is good for 332 horsepower and 367 lb-ft of torque on regular unleaded fuel.
