This is one of the best interiors I have seen for Cadillac. Interior has always held them back; just look at the gauges of the ATSV. Looks like they have taken their game up a step!
@@ehsanzolfaghari2711 Definitely. The CTS had a nice interior but only in higher trims. The CT5 is just on another level. When you look at the base CT5 it’s clear how much work went into it over the CTS. The standard 10.2-inch touchscreen, the new analog gauges are MUCH more modern and look so much better, the CUE system has been dramatically improved, more standard safety tech, interior is more upscale with all the leather stitching & upgraded materials, and the exterior design is the perfect blend of elegant and sporty cohesiveness. The car lights up as you approach it. The ambient lighting is also beautiful at night. The 10-speed is buttery smooth and also feels smarter than you. It always knows which gear it wants to be in. Much better than the 6-speed that was in the CTS.

After looking at the new Corvette and their new full-size SUVs, most of their other products (Namely the Silverado and their smaller SUVs) just don’t have the level of thought and detail to their interiors and exteriors compared to those models because they look and feel so old. I hope that some of the thoughtful innovations that have been baked into this new Escalade (As well as their other SUVs and the Corvette) get passed down to their more affordable SUVs and most certainly, their refreshed pickup counterparts.
For a while now, GM has been a few gems amongst a sea of garbage. I think their problem is that even after cutting half their brands a decade ago, they are still way too big. There’s just so much waste and redundancy keeping them from offering a well rounded portfolio. GMC and Buick are both still redundant divisions. GM should eliminate those brands, ditch all of Chevrolet’s current lineup (minus the Camaro and Corvette) and replace it with the cars/crossovers from Buick and the trucks from GMC.

I saw a black one today going opposite of me on a street and I actually whispered, "Whoa." as it drove by. That front end and it's sheer mass have such a presence. The black looked great too.
Definitely, it was planned. Mark does a lot of comedic touches to his reviews. For instance, on one video, while going through the navigation system, he had destination to strip clubs. That's what makes the Savagegeese the best car review channel. Not only is it one of the most informative, it's just fun to watch.
Expect the unexpected, that's what sets SG car reviews apart from the others. Quirky, bold, entertaining, yet very informative. SG's videography is commercial quality.
Many reviewers were disappointed with its drive dynamics despite its new rear independent suspension I only subscribed about a year ago but I easily found myself trusting this channel more than others These guys are reviewers par excellence
I can't tell you how much I love these guys. I love the little Easter eggs they drop in that most people wouldn't notice. They have a really nice and natural dynamic and I love how they don't try to hard to be entertaining but some how are.....
Guys you gonna hit a mil of subs by the end of 2021 and start making some decent dough - and I hope that you will remain as you are today with your reviews and keep all the quirks and jokes and no BS opinions and criticisms. Keep up the good work!
Mercedes and BMW had great interiors even in the early 2000. It's really great to see a big step up in the interior quality department for american cars like the Escalade, Navigator or Cherooke.
The funny thing about SUV's (and trucks) in the US is that they depreciate comically slow compared to every other type of car. I bet some of these with low miles will still fetch over $40k in 8 years
Thank you for mention about the massive screen being prone to screen burn. That’s what I’ve been waiting for since it came out. Very unbiased review. Good job.
Yeah haha! Or “move over rich person with who refuses to pay well over $1,000 per month for 84 months to show off in a depreciating asset equivalent to the worst investment no rich person would ever make.” FB ceo drives an older model Acura car and Warren Buffet drives a 10 plus year old Ford.
So glad to see GM bringing their Cadillac up to date and beyond in terms of interior quality and technology in the luxury space....hope the stock keeps soaring!!!
@@hedgehogthesonic3181 I mean, the whole luxury-category like Porsche, VAG/BMW/Mercedes is not overly reliable either. IMO, it's a great product for the segment. Seems super utilitarian. You can pack any gear into this and still haul people around. You can tow with it. It's just great if you can afford it.
@@CitarNosis317 There are less expensive vehicles that are capable of doing the same, like the Toyota Sienna hybrid for example, which is much more efficient, reliable and has more space. There is no point on wasting this amount of money on something like this Cadillac, but people with a lot of money don't know what to do with it nor how to spend it, so they waste it on things like these because of the ''luxury'', it's more like a social status to let others know that you have a lot of money, and most likely an empty skull.
@@hedgehogthesonic3181 a sienna can't tow like this. I think escalades (hell even Tahoes) are overpriced junk but besides seating capacity there isn't much comparison in utility
1) I love seeing Cake and Spoon show up on your infotainment screens lately. 2) I assume the amazing quality and tech in this truck will make its way down the rest of the Cadillac lineup. It's truly impressive, and GM needs this to try and keep up with the German and Japanese brands.
Problem is the Chevy Tahoe is Nuts as well. I test drove both and i don’t see spending so much more for digital gauge cluster while i can get similar luxury and Z71 package on the Tahoe.
3:40 “You can also turn the center gauge cluster into a front view camera where you can see everything in front of you.” The windshield can do that, too.
Not what I expected as I know what you expect from a GM product. Can Cadillac push this level of luxury down into their sedans and smaller products? Or did they pound the money into the Escalade because they make big $$ from big trucks (and no competition in this segment as you point out).
No foreign competition but Lincoln has really stepped up their game and their new SUVs are very, very nice. I think GM is pushing Cadillac to provide real luxury competition to foreign brands so I expect to see this level of luxury make it into their other vehicles too. They had to start somewhere and their flagship SUV makes sense, now they can move the same quality and features into other products. Definitely looking forward to that!
The only real competition is from Mercedes since for the price of this truck loaded you're stepping into entry level G-Wagon territory, but then I'm not sure if a G-Wagon has a third row, or has this nice of a ride.
Great video work Mark and Jack. Not sure viewers know how much effort this takes. The depth of field really adds to the ambiance the you are describing.
Only these guys would talk about the downside of peak technology like P-OLED situation. Not just burn ins but quality control is also a problem for small displays for LG for a while unlike their TV's. Take the case if Google Pixel 2 XL. The only downside and thing that stopped P2XL was color inaccurate and bad display.
I know we’ve spoken about Mark’s videos in the past but this one is pure luxury, bold in its praise, pushing the boundaries of style and taste. Jack, get this one up on the lift.🧐
I think that Jack hit the nail on the head when he asked the question whether or not the Caddy was worth $30K more than a Tahoe. It puts it all in the proper perspective.
They're making so many comments about "affluence" but don't forget that 99% of the soccer moms that will inevitably drive this are deeply in debt and merely aspirationally wealthy.
Cadillac did an awesome job on the Escalade! 38 Inch Curved OLED Screen, Super Cruise and AKG Audio! The refresh Lincoln Navigator is coming out in 2022 in order to complete with the Escalade. Cadillac will launch an Escalade EV in 2023 or 2024. Cadillac has nothing to worry about.
Honestly, I don't think Mark gets "giddy" for any specific brand. When a brand does good they get some praise, and if they mess up he let's the world know.
I hit 'like' as soon as I saw Cake on the center display. Bravo! Concerning the OLED burn-in issue, there is a function on my LG TV to reduce burn-in and ghosting. If it were my vehicle, I'd make sure to change up the screen displays every now and then. I'd also keep the brightness levels down. The black levels of OLED displays are truly amazing.
@@mybro727 Lexus vehicles are infinitely more reliable and efficient than this junk, the hybrid system that Toyota uses in their hybrids including Lexus is more technologically advanced than anything on that any other car brand have, is more robust, efficient and reliable too. The Cadillac is not more technologically advanced by any means, and with these screens and leather, the piece of junk won't make it past 100,000 miles. The junk here is the Cadillac and all American cars in general, they don't last, they don't improve and just keep selling the same trash over and over again because people keep buying their junk. Next time try harder on making logical points on why this is better than what the Japanese car brands do, specially Toyota, which has proven to be superior in every aspect compared to what Americans car brands do. Or better don't try anything kid, with those 2 comments you posted you have proven that you don't know what you are talking about, go figure how bad this machine in the video is, how overpriced it and that is a money pit, nothing justifies the price of this trash.
As impressive as this is, I still hate it because soccer moms Never Stop Arriving on the yellow line in the opposite lane or behind me with their brights on. 3 tons? Jesus.... Great review as always. Congrats on being the first person to listen to Cake in the new Escalade
theres no way any car maker makes their own screens. they all have to outsource that because they cant afford the RnD let alone logistics. honestly im impressed they dont shrink the dash to only the space needed for vents and AC hardware then just throw a tablet in the middle. tesla happens to use the exact same size as most laptop screens, they just put it sideways
I’ll be looking forward to the cleaning fee every time I request one of these when taking Uber black to see my kids during the court-required supervised visitation.
I completely agree with Jack when he said for his entire life Cadillac has been a joke. When you look back at the status that Cadillac carried from the 40's through the 70's everything they make now is a joke. This is the first vehicle they have made in the last 25 years that really makes an effort to diverge from the GM parts bin and be truly unique. I really hope they can carry that attitude through the rest of their lineup and actually produce aspirational cars again.
GM has been killin it lately with big hits such as this and the corvette. i hope they do something big with the camaro because i don't want to see it die
14:23..."Definitely something you're gonna want to lease...or have a million mile warranty" This says it all about GM. Affluent customers don't care about GM's poor quality. They won't hold onto a car long enough to experience it breaking down. Brand new: Status symbol....8 years old: NOT a status symbol. It's just an 8 year old used car. It's the people who buy these from the affluent who should be weary. You get this thing to 10 years old with 150k miles...it will be a nightmare.

Cadillac did an awesome job on the Escalade! 38 Inch Curved OLED Screen, Super Cruise and AKG Audio! The refresh Lincoln Navigator is coming out in 2022 in order to complete with the Escalade. Cadillac will launch an Escalade EV in 2023 or 2024. Cadillac has nothing to worry about.
When the goose is giddy about a GM product like it's a Toyota, you know it's good.
He likes Kia also
They’ve been pretty critical of Toyota for a while now
Honestly, I don't think Mark gets "giddy" for any specific brand. When a brand does good they get some praise, and if they mess up he let's the world know.
@@deviantgameblamer9980 He likes their approach to car technology
I hit 'like' as soon as I saw Cake on the center display. Bravo! Concerning the OLED burn-in issue, there is a function on my LG TV to reduce burn-in and ghosting. If it were my vehicle, I'd make sure to change up the screen displays every now and then. I'd also keep the brightness levels down. The black levels of OLED displays are truly amazing.
That uncomfortable super zoom
😂
these winter reviews have a wholesome feeling to them
I see you've read the brochure
I'm not a big fan of modern american cars, but Cadillac is consistently hitting that 10/10 spot
2021 cadillac escalade: keeps up with a 8 year old smartphone for only $100,000
The Lexus LX can’t even do that but asking for the same money. Go figure! Lol 😂
@@mybro727 Lexus is infinitely more reliable than this American junk. Go figure.
@@hedgehogthesonic3181 “Cadillac is infinitely more technologically advanced than that outdated, plasticky, Japanese junk. Go figure!”
@@mybro727 Lexus vehicles are infinitely more reliable and efficient than this junk, the hybrid system that Toyota uses in their hybrids including Lexus is more technologically advanced than anything on that any other car brand have, is more robust, efficient and reliable too.
The Cadillac is not more technologically advanced by any means, and with these screens and leather, the piece of junk won't make it past 100,000 miles. The junk here is the Cadillac and all American cars in general, they don't last, they don't improve and just keep selling the same trash over and over again because people keep buying their junk.
Next time try harder on making logical points on why this is better than what the Japanese car brands do, specially Toyota, which has proven to be superior in every aspect compared to what Americans car brands do. Or better don't try anything kid, with those 2 comments you posted you have proven that you don't know what you are talking about, go figure how bad this machine in the video is, how overpriced it and that is a money pit, nothing justifies the price of this trash.
@@hedgehogthesonic3181 Are you done, kid? 😂😂
LG did the screens? Now it makes sense why the screens are so good and why the 360 cameras are bad as its the same case with their phones
As impressive as this is, I still hate it because soccer moms Never Stop Arriving on the yellow line in the opposite lane or behind me with their brights on. 3 tons? Jesus....
Great review as always. Congrats on being the first person to listen to Cake in the new Escalade
I suppose soccer moms now has more choices in addition to Cayennes and Rovers.
It has always weighed 3 tons, because it's a real body-on-frame truck.
I subscribed to the Goose and I was immediately transported back to Illinois, driving a PT Bruiser.....in 2003.
7:45 😂😂😂 that was hilarious. Please tell me it was planned? Lol
Savagegeese is the only channel I press the like button before the video even starts because I know it will be top quality.
Holy shit! I’ve been driving Tesla for almost 6 years and this makes my cars tech look like a Yugo. This interior blows me away. Want!
Glad to see Cadillac bringing their A game again. Congrats
3:48 Ever test drive a submarine? It just like this dark night mode AR screen.
As a submariner, I’ve never seen AR on any of our navigation displays.
As a submarine, I've never been test driven.
As a test I have never been a submarine
GM CEO, u might want to offer this guy a free Cady! He was so awesome promoting this lovely vehicle.
Bravo to GM for swallowing their pride and sourcing LG for their screen and software! 👏👏👏
It’s safe to say every manufacturer outsources their digital screens. That’s not the type of part a car maker would make themselves.
theres no way any car maker makes their own screens. they all have to outsource that because they cant afford the RnD let alone logistics.
honestly im impressed they dont shrink the dash to only the space needed for vents and AC hardware then just throw a tablet in the middle. tesla happens to use the exact same size as most laptop screens, they just put it sideways
that zoom in - then directly into marketing mumbo jumbo is why im here.
the interior looks just really really good
A dark interior would be much better.
I subscribed and lost my home to the banks, but now I get to live in a corvette, so that's life-changing
Jack: let's talk about the curb weight.
Mark: (...Not interested)
i felt... "bold" giving this review a thumbs-up.
I’ll be looking forward to the cleaning fee every time I request one of these when taking Uber black to see my kids during the court-required supervised visitation.
Your music choice when playing with the screens is always excellent.
7:45 is full on channeling Patrick Bateman's morning routine montage
This is the best vehicle review channel on RUclips. Don't @ me.
I completely agree with Jack when he said for his entire life Cadillac has been a joke. When you look back at the status that Cadillac carried from the 40's through the 70's everything they make now is a joke. This is the first vehicle they have made in the last 25 years that really makes an effort to diverge from the GM parts bin and be truly unique. I really hope they can carry that attitude through the rest of their lineup and actually produce aspirational cars again.
Aspirational cars that will go straight to the stealer for repairs.
You didn't want a Catera? It's the Caddy that zigs!
GM has been killin it lately with big hits such as this and the corvette. i hope they do something big with the camaro because i don't want to see it die
14:23..."Definitely something you're gonna want to lease...or have a million mile warranty" This says it all about GM. Affluent customers don't care about GM's poor quality. They won't hold onto a car long enough to experience it breaking down. Brand new: Status symbol....8 years old: NOT a status symbol. It's just an 8 year old used car. It's the people who buy these from the affluent who should be weary. You get this thing to 10 years old with 150k miles...it will be a nightmare.
ford is actually worse.
