About the Cadillac Escalade
Introduced for the 2021 model year, the fifth-generation Escalade adopted independent rear suspension and a much more spacious cabin. The standard-length Luxury model uses a 6.2-litre V8 and a ten-speed automatic gearbox. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while four-wheel drive and a diesel engine were available alternatives. These figures describe the regular Escalade rather than the longer ESV or later supercharged V. The US value range uses KBB’s Luxury 4WD guide as the nearest published comparison for the rear-drive model.
