You’re probably familiar with the Cadillac Escalade. It’s an iconic member of the Cadillac family. Since 1999, drivers looking for three rows of spacious seating, a luxury cabin, an incredibly smooth ride, and a stylish look all wrapped up in a full-size SUV have turned to the Escalade. If you’re like us, when an Escalade pulls up, you can’t help but wonder if someone famous is inside. After all, the Presidential limo is a Cadillac that’s closely related to the Escalade in its main features and design. Yes, it comes with a high price tag, but that hasn’t held back the Escalade’s sales. Savvy shoppers know the Escalade is worth it. In fact, it is one of the brand's fastest-selling models and accounts for nearly half of the sales in its segment.
People just can’t get enough of the Escalade, so it’s no wonder Cadillac has expanded the lineup, adding the extended wheelbase Escalade ESV in 2003 and, more recently, the performance-oriented Escalade-V in 2023. If you’re looking for a Cadillac Escalade for sale today, there are a few versions to choose from. If you aren’t familiar with the latest additions to the Escalade family, we’d love to show you why they’re so awesome. Here’s a look at some of the stand-out features of the Escalade ESV and Escalade-V.
The Quick Facts of the Escalade ESV
The "ESV" stands for “Escalade Stretch Vehicle.” When you see it next to a standard Escalade, you’ll notice it has a nearly limousine-like length. For the 2024 model year, the standard Escalade is 211.9 inches long, while the Escalade ESV is 227 inches long. You will have over a foot of extra room to stretch out in the ESV, which translates to more passenger space and more cargo space.
The Escalade ESV has a maximum available cargo volume of 142.8 cu.ft. with the rear seats down, compared to 121 cu.ft. in the standard Escalade. It shares its engine options with the standard Escalade, starting with a 6.2L V8 engine kicking out 420 hp. An available 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel engine offers 460 lb-ft of torque and remarkable range and efficiency.
The Quick Facts of the Escalade-V
The Escalade-V is a performance-focused Escalade with bold styling. Complementing its name is the V-Mode feature, a button you can push that lets you customize nearly every element of the handling and other dynamics. You can adjust steering response, braking response, suspension, and even the sound of the engine for the exact behind-the-wheel experience you crave.
The Escalade-V also has a standard electronic limited-slip rear differential, which directs torque to the rear wheel with the most traction for better command when cornering and driving on wet roads. It also has magnetic ride control, which continuously monitors the road and makes adjustments for the smoothest possible ride. But the most important feature is the hand-built 6.2L supercharged V8 engine, signed by its builder. With 682 hp and 653 lb-ft of torque, this engine lets the Escalade-V leap to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds.
The Stand-Out Features You’ll Get In the Escalade
Now that we know the Escalade-V is for those wanting spirited performance and the Escalade ESV is for those needing more interior space, that might help you decide which model suits your needs. Whichever you choose, there are some awesome features you’ll find standard and available across all Escalade models. These are only some of the features we think make the 2024 Escalade special. There are many more that we’d love to show you in person.
Augmented Reality-Enabled Navigation
When you’re finding your way to a new destination in the 2024 Escalade, you’ll experience the most accurate representation of your route and surroundings. Augmented Reality-Enabled Navigation displays a live image of whatever is directly in front of the vehicle in the driver instrument display. If you are actively following turn-by-turn directions, the system will overlay arrows pointing out your turns on top of the live image.
Sometimes, pre-loaded maps aren’t enough to get you where you’re going safely and in the best possible time. This advanced navigation system gives you extra information, so you have the power to choose if you want to follow the directions. If the directions say to turn right, but the live navigation shows a traffic jam blocking the road, you might turn left.
Conversation Enhancement
Don’t want to ask your rear-seat passengers to yell so you can hear them? You don’t have to in the 2024 Escalade. It has Conversation Enhancement, a set of microphones in the back rows that project the voices of your rear-seat passengers to the front of the vehicle. So everyone, from front to back, can speak at their natural volume and carry on a conversation. You’ll like this feature whether you have kids asking homework questions or adult passengers telling you where to park.
A 36-Speaker AKG Studio Reference Audio System
Want to turn your Escalade’s cabin into a private concert venue? Easily done. Just get the available AKG Studio Reference 36-speaker audio system. Experience the most immersive music session with 360-degree surround sound. No passenger in any row will complain that they can’t hear the music.Plasma TV-Level Display Screens
We hear a lot of “Ooohs” and “Aaahs” when we show drivers the curved OLED screens in the Escalade. OLED is one of the newer technologies in TVs and display screens. It relies on millions of light-emitting pixels to create the graphics you see and is currently considered the best of the best for display screens. You’ll enjoy a total of 38 inches of these screens, sprawling across the dash area. Find your playlists, navigation, incoming call information, journey stats, and more here.
Night Vision
If you do a lot of driving after sunset, this is an excellent safety feature available in the 2024 Escalade. It displays a thermal image of pedestrians and wildlife ahead of you that you might not otherwise see in your headlamps. Whether you drive on the back roads through a forest or in a quiet suburban neighborhood without streetlamps, this is a terrific feature to add.
