2023 Cadillac Escalade Review | The King of Street Cred

No vehicle arrives with as much presence as the 2023 Cadillac Escalade.

There's a reason Tony Soprano drove an Escalade. With its hulking proportions, powerful V8 engine (and torquey diesel V6), and lavish features and technology, few vehicles can match the Escalade. Shoppers have a few options: there's the Lincoln Navigator and the Grand Wagoneer, but the European three-row crossovers don't have the size or the capability of these American full-size SUVs. In this review, we look at an Escalade Sport Platinum and compare it with the top competitors in its segment.

Tony Soprano reference was so accurate. Great review, keep up the good work !

[dauntlessasmr]

Hmm... Tiny house or Escalade. Tough choice.

[Ray__E]

The Escalade looks so much better than the rest in my opinion.

The only street cred you're gettin in an Escalade is people thinking your some type of drug lord 😂

Great review. Premium Luxury or Premium Sport are great upgrades from Luxury trim. Platinum is obviously the ultimate, and yes, I have one. I enjoy the many additional options. The extra price is the only painful part of ownership. Considering the size, the mileage per gallon or litre, is not as bad as it could be. The V in my opinion is just crazy.

[EastA]

I do agree with you honestly. I really love how this vehicle looks. but reliability is a concern. even though I will never pay this price. but. Cadillac exterior style. is always awesome. and this one is amazing. the good thing about me buying used. I can tell how it holds up.

Everyone questioning the reliability of the Escalade, it's the most reliable SUV out there. Where are you people getting your info from? The Escalade in my opinion, is the best looking large, luxury SUV. I test drove almost all of them.

two Escalade fam here. Luv my 2023 blackout

[Daddyc]

Nothing compares to the Cadillac Escalade it got that monster look image about it. The only Luxury SUV that comes close is the 2023 Denali Ultimate and that's also belongs to GM.

I'm a big big fan. Do we have the 23 in the UK 🇬🇧?

[ernestogomezjr]

Saving up my pennies for one, im thinking ill get one in 6 months' time, so ready!!

[ivanrivera]

Car is beautiful !... glad to have one in the family

[paulm]

Easily best big luxury SUV in the world. Really nothing else is close unless you like it’s sister Yukon Denali.

[juanroman]

I would expect more power from that 6.2 engine in 2023.

[frankkinley]

You are very Honest. Excellent presentation. Thank you.

[inchlorIentztJiIu]

These new Cadillac Escalades are low key the best and most high tech SUV money can buy. If you really do your research you’ll find nothing has as much tech and safety. We are almost at the end of 2023 and I’m still waiting on Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and Range Rover to come out with similar tech.

[ChuongNguyen-upfy]

I feel sorry for the people who live on these roads. There is no space between you and the car that's about to hit you at

[VS]

Just waiting for that screen burn in. Waiting

[LuckyTwice]

You saying that "it steering like a boat" is really irresponsable. I have one and it drives like a dream.

I like the exterior of the Escalade but they need to do better with the interior options. The Navigator does a much better job.
