2023 Cadillac Escalade V Review // Status Symbol Showdown + DRAG RACE

The new 2023 Cadillac Escalade V ($178,898 in Canada, $149,990 in the US) is the biggest, baddest and loudest SUV from GM, and it’s the first to wear a V-Series badge. An already beefy 6.2 L V8 has been made even beefier for the V, thanks to a supercharger that’s bigger than the one in the mighty CT5-V Blackwing. To handle the 682 horsepower through its full-time AWD system, the Escalade V has seen numerous improvements, such as: a forged steel crankshaft, forged aluminum pistons, and an adaptive air ride suspension system that has been designed and tuned for the V model.

Thomas and James are eager to see how the new Escalade V performs on the road and against its competitors in a drag race. Does it truly deserve to wear a V-Series badge? Watch to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE!

"Why?"
"Yes."

You guys are so excellent at what you do!!

There are some excellent high quality car review youtube channels out there. Everyday Driver, Savage Geese, anything Chris Harris does, but I honestly think that you guys, with the mix of real reviews, humor, and high quality production are among the best. Please keep up the excellent work!

That Escalade makes the G wagon sound like an electric car that’s insane.

The escalade sound is glorious! It's the first sport SUV that I've been excited about since the Trackhawk.

I think the ten speed in the Escalade V really helps it move all that weight. im a big believer in the modern ten speeds. they are excellent.

I'm working in Germany close to the Ramstein Airbase and American Muscle Cars are pretty common here. But when I first saw a Cadillac SUV almost sounding like this, I first thought that its either tuned or driving without any exhaust. But after watching this video, I understand why this beast was in my review-mirror at almost 230 Kilometers per hour.

The Range Rover is actually real quick for what it is. The G63 is insane.

That monster sound ripping and gurgling through that quad exhaust coming from that mean supercharged engine is astonishing ….Beauty and the Beast

Of the Escalade line I've always felt it's too glitzy, this V version in this exact trim is the first I could go for ever, it's large but very beautiful. The performance is the cream on top. Thanks guys for another fun intro and excellent review.

That Escalade V is like a 7-seater Camaro or Corvette, and I think that's what they were going for. It's very very expensive, but it does all these tasks you could ask of it, and with seating for 7.

It's videos like this, that make me wish your channel existed when Ford was still building the Flex, because I think you guys would actually like it quite a bit, especially an AWD EcoBoost one (which my family has owned 2 of). I think exposure from media platforms like this would have helped sell more of them.

Awesome work as per usual guys, keep it going!

The wheelie it does looks amazing honestly, really makes it look powerful

[donteadoss]

This intro & Thomas’ past intro of the AMG/RS/M explanation are both the spot-on personification of the entire world’s attempt at comprehending manufacturers’ wild nomenclature. Well done, gents. 😂

The Straight Pipes get straight piped with every video you guys upload 🙂

[MrGreenelight]

Although I still like the previous older version of the Escalade better. The Escalade still remains the undisputed "King of SUV Bling" since its induction. And is still the status symbol of Luxury SUV's.
Everybody....I mean everbody knows what an Escalade is. Some people may know what a GLS, G wagon or X7, etc, is.
Piggy-backing off what the host stated, if you see a few GLs or G wagons in a row going down the street, one would think there is a party at the local night club; But, If you see a few Escalades in a row, one turns to the local news station; because something significant and /or of great importance has happened or is happening.

[garysmith]

The Escalade stayed pointed upwards the whole run. You guys are very entertaining, keep up the great work!

[ethanedioxide]

Actually really loved the intro. Laughed out loud legit 🤣

[FlN]

That thing sounds like thunder and launches like lightning. Well done GM 👏🏾

[arya_moghadam]

That was a fun video you guys! The Escalade V really is a ridiculous performance luxury three row SUV! What a wonderful piece of work GM has created!

[onepoh]

I am still in awe that a car as aerodynamic as a square box can be that fast

[victorcg]

You guys keep improving your videos on really incredible levels, this is just amazing (not only for the Escalade). Actually my favorite channel in general, keep getting cooler!!!
