Cadillac Celebrates The 20th Anniversary Of The Escalade

The Size And The Looks Tell It All

The Cadillac Escalade is a big car, and I mean, really big. It has room for up to eight, a tow rating of up to 8300 pounds, a 420-hp V-8 and a 10-speed automatic with rear-drive are standard; all-wheel drive is optional.

If you go for the long-wheelbase ESV you will have an extra 25 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. Quite honestly,this is not the vehicle for just an average driver; you got to have great use for all this space and power.

But it is an easy vehicle nonetheless and one that knows its potential to intimidate not just smaller cars but also takes with pride its prowess and power. The 2019 Cadillac Escalade is highlighted in a sport theme.

It offers a Sport Edition with black exterior trim. This Sport Edition receives a black grille, black window moldings, and black body side moldings.

It also features dark-finished 22-inch wheels as standard equipment. All trims still have a Sport Edition except the base model.

That means it’s available on the Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Platinum models. The addition of this model to the Escalade fraternity is crucial at this point in time.

General Motors announced recently it would discontinue six cars, including the Cadillac CT6 and XTS. The move that will also see 15 percent of its salaried workers laid off sets the company on the path to production of SUVs and crossovers.

Observably,the Escalade has historically been a high-profit-margin vehicle for GM, so offering a new special edition seems to align with Cadillac’s strategy to increase profitability.
