This truck has put a giant smile on the face of every single reviewer I've watched driving it, and I'd say that's a huge part of what cars like the V-series Cadillacs/AMGs/M cars etc. are all about
My gosh. The noise this mammoth SUV makes is intoxicating. I could listen to it all day. You guys looked like you were having fun. If I had that kind of money, I'd bite.
I couldn’t agree more on your take. I’ve wanted them to build an Escalade V for so long. Now that they have, I’m stuck wondering “why”. GM & “Murica”. That’s why. 🤷🏼♂️🤣 I’d much prefer a 3.0l duramax. You guys made me nervous taking the king-sized bed set around those corners!
Great for McMansion renovation hobbiests zipping between happy hour and Home Depot. Would love to see a snow tire-equipped, driven on snow test of some modern high performance vehicles.
Nah, imagine black, smoked wheels and lights, and just those super bright headlamps. That would be the ultimate Walter White machine. And he could intimidate you with only the never ending burble.
Mark, " I don't understand the point" and then smiling like a stoner who just scored an ounce of "Acapulco gold". The point taken. Loved the sound, and your drive.
GM engineers are wonderfully open to talking, and seemingly really good at talking for a less-technical audience. Every time they agree to come on, they've benefitted the video.
Are you looking for a new chauffeur? I will relocate, I'm a beast behind the wheel, and I'm a pro when it comes to the logistics of choosing the most ideal route, etc. I will gladly switch careers to drive this puppy!
I am 53 years old. My new dream garage is one of these and an LC500. I would also like a Lotus Emira with a manual. I would sleep like a baby at night.
I've driven both the 2022 & 2023 Escalades for extended distances & have been a passenger in all areas of them - they are by far my favorite large SUV. I've driven the CT5 Blackwing as well (manual) and it's in my top 5 all time favorite cars I've driven (blows the Hellcats away BY FAR!!). I'm super excited to drive this & I love they built this. I hear the 392 Durango's all the time and they are louder than this Escalade V - but the Durango's are BEYOND obnoxiously loud to the point where it doesn't even sound good - at least those that harass our local town....
If a $180k car doesn’t make you smile every time you drive it, it’s not worth $180k. And given that fact, I get the entire point of the Escalade V. It might actually justify the cost of entry
Super Cruise was NOT available for the first batch of these being made. Every one built after October 2 will be coming with Super Cruise. All supplies went into the Lyriq launch in May. That's why I waited until that restriction was lifted especially at its price point. The only thing 100% discontinued for the remaining 23 models is the adaptive headlamp system. I was able to secure an order for one at msrp and with my trade in on an older model Escalade that I was offered, I said fuck it let's do it. If I couldn't land one at msrp, no way would I be buying this. Mark ups I got through roughly 10 dealerships ranged from 60-100k. The ones selling at msrp, their lists are massive and one of the biggest dealerships in my area said at least a 4 year wait(130+ waitlist). Every single reviewer I've seen cover this car, when driving have a huge smile on their faces. This is my obnoxious send off to ICE. I'll be getting 7 mpg the way I'll be driving mine probably but fuck it, life is short, enjoy it while you can.
Have loads of fun. I can't really fault you for going for it. By the time I could even think about affording one of these, vehicles like this will be long gone.
When everyone is driving a cheap EV with barely any sound insulation you’ll be blasting down the hammer lane with this cargo train screaming at 6k rpm and there’s not a damn thing any one of those pawns can do about it. American dream.
I think I can record this engine sound and listen over and over. Its just so thrilling. No EV can give you such satisfaction. Oh yes EVs can put funny fake engine noise.
Thank you guys so much for your video I always appreciate it ! Black on black Escalade V with some big black wheels.. nicest most inspired car on the street !
I'm still ASTONISHED you guys manage to film vehicles like this on the backroads where there are farms / houses close by (not suburban but still..) and not have people coming at you with pitchforks and yelling at you to slow down 😂 😂this car sounds like a nascar lmfao 😂 edit : Also didn't know that you drove a X7 now! Time to do a update video! Thought you drive the Xc90 still ;)
honestly, I think supercruise is by far the most compelling feature of these (or regular escalades). Like something that the competitors do not fully match. I would be pulling chips from anything I could to use for these.
Yeah, the engineer who tuned the Escalade V exhaust deserves the gold medal for obnoxiousness. Truly world class levels of giving an auditory middle finger to the world. Just practice saying, "But officer it's stock!"
Cadillac just built my dream machine lol .... forget supercars.... this thing can fit your entire family in comfort and fulfill your acceleration and sound dreams.
I’ve got a 2018 Camaro SS with the 8 speed automatic and it shifts like this 10 speed Escalade V. And every time I hear that pop in my Camaro, it makes me laugh and smile so hard. I’m glad to see that if I was rich enough I could get the same experience in a family hauler 😂
This is completely freaking ridiculous, the engine is crazy powerful for an SUV, those brake discs are bigger than a pizza, the new pops and crackles are obnoxious, yet I can't help but grin ear to ear. Those WOT shifts sound just like on my 6th gen Camaro. 101% awesomeness, a proper farewell to the legendary Escalade.
This car makes me smile. It seems like there’s a lot of passion behind it. It’s totally unnecessary, yet in the days where people cry “climate emergency”, it’s extremely refreshing! A car for enjoyment.
German engineer here. You guys are calibrating my view of the average American, and I will be measuring reality offset once I get to visit my colleagues in Ohio.
You seem to have forgotten the popularity of the Hellcat, which has the same performance profile as this thing - it's fast in a straight line. BUT this Escalade can haul 7 people COMFORTABLY while towing a camper or boat and then have a FUN time (fast) at the destination. This vehicle seems like it would fit perfectly next to anyone who even considered buying the Hellcat.
As a European having lots of narrow roads and parking spots that feel to small for compacts I would hate this as a daily, but I would love to have it for the fun weekend stuff and just the crazy of it.
I have a 22 Camaro SS 1LE and it's overrun is just as crazy, if not even crazier. It's so much fun, so much. You guys need a Camaro SS 1LE to review. Though it's not the time of year to review one, but you will see it is the best sports car, best track car for the money, period. The sound, the power, the suspension, brakes, the feel of the whole driving experience... it is one of the BEST cars GM has ever created for the money.
Hands down the best video review I have seen so far of the Escalade V. Thanks for the video it was very informative. Are you guys planning on doing a review of the 2023 BMW X7 M60i?

Will their first electric Escalade V SUV need an overhead cable for power? Or maybe contacts built into the ground like a scalextric car?
