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.
@@danielr9708 Yep exactly, when the accountants started taking over in the late 60's and 70's the Cadillac and Corvette really started to suffer. I'm just happy they are back on track it seems.
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.

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 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.
I actually didn't know burn in was a thing with OLEDs compared to plasmas! I have an AMOLED Pixel 4XL and have owned AMOLED phones since the first Samsung Galaxy S. I know they have blotches you can see in the dark and used to not be sharp due to the pixel array they had. That said, I am so glad to see the physical buttons there below the screen. It looks and finishes the premium touch of the screen setup. This is what I hope luxury car manufacturers don't overlook like Mercedes did with the new S Class, that buttons and knobs elevate class and luxury by adding trim and material diversity.
I honestly don't blame them for bragging about oled. It's such a nice quality feature, especially for the price youre paying for these premium vehicles.
First the Corvette and now the SUV family, GM is killing it recently. Hopefully the redo the interior of the Truck family to match the competition. Now they just need to bring back the Impala as a 4 door Camaro to compete with the Charger and i'll be happy.
@@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.
I just can't get over how much the front looks like a refreshed Chevy. If you're paying north of $100,000, you'd want something more refined and less raggedy looking
Jack and Mark, Let’s talk about the elephant in the room the IRS why did it take so long for GM to have this? What was ahead of the game about six years plus!
I never expected Cadillac to rise to the occasion like this. Stellantis, Ford and the Germans are all upping their game so it’s great to see a legitimate response finally.
This product proves that GM is capable of designing world class interiors when they invest the money and development into making an all-new vehicle. Thank you for making a review on this! Will y’all review the Suburban next?
Yeah, they just need to relegate those alphabet soup designs to Buick and start producing more quality cars like this with proper names that carry some weight. The generation that didn't want to drive an El Dorado because that's what their grandpa drove is gone.
The opening shots of that thing in the snow looked great. And...surprised by such glowing praise for it. Not my cup of tea, nor could I afford it (and like you mention the longevity of the screens is something I'd be worried about) but that AR implementation of navigation seems very slick, hope it catches on.
oled doesn't do so well with image retention. should be interesting long term of how the images stay on there or not. but just don't set it to 100% brightness it should be fine
New sub here. Where the hell have you guys been? Love your content! And great production quality on the vid's! It will be interesting to see how the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer stacks up compared to the Cadi. I have a loaded '21 Ram Limited, and if it's as nice as that, it should be a contender.
@@marcuscicero5033 Not necessarily. There are several certified Cadillac V models well below $100K still worth picking up. XT6 is a failed revival of the SRX (imo). In the case of this Escalade, not only is it a truck (keep in mind that a new Sierra can easily balloon to $60K+), but the added "luxuxy tax" and lack of serious competition in this segment help explain the price here. $70K can definitely still get you into a luxury segment- just not this one in particular (when outfitted with all the options).
@@samuelm5140 To be honest over 100k my money is on the Benz, Porsche or Range but after few years this caddy will be 50-60k level with the depreciation maybe less than it’s buyable.
They never fixed the 2015/2020’s Cadillacs. I’d NEVERRRR buy Cadillac garbage ever again. They replaced faulty parts with the same companies faulty junk parts.
If you have $100,000 to spend on an SUV, you probably aren't worried about reliability 5 years down the road. Thus, a Cadillac is perfect, because they'll be ready to break down right when it's time to waste your money, I mean buy another one at 100,000 miles.
These days Cadillac Escalade has surpass the Germans. Not even Rolls Royce competes with escalade these days. Rolls Royce, Bentley, Mercedes BMW, and Range Rover need to be updated to compete with the escalade. If you enjoy driving your luxury cars, the Escalade is the top dog these days. I should say "if you are an older person and like to be driven in luxury the Rolls should be better"
Honestly, I feel like they were trying hard not to be sarcastic about this vehicle but couldn't quite keep it going - especially with the weird zoom and cut at 7:48. This comes off as being an uncomfortably done shill video from people who didn't want to do it but couldn't *not* because it's relevant content for the channel.
Damn, screen-in-front-of-a-screen design! 😖 Whether OLED no longer has the longevity issues is the question. Surely the tech has advanced, but usually when that is being advertised, it doesn't mean all the tech-typical problems are solved. BTW, TFTs can have short-term burn-in (lazy pixels). I didn't want to believe it until I experienced it on my Eizo(!) monitor a couple years that also taught me all the other ways in which quality of TFTs has been abysmal. (Also lots of second-quality sold as first. Outrageous things like claiming dirt particles trapped in the panel are no RMA reason.)
A nice Escalade is still a Tahoe with better leather and an air suspension. You have to be insane to spend highly optioned base Porsche Cayenne money on this. Tow rating is the same as unibody competition. Plus it looks like a refrigerator on a dolly. You also didn’t show N64 graphics in the 3D parking camera.
If I have 100k to spend on a truck, I'm getting a ram 3500 limited mega cab, or waiting for ford to update the super duty and getting a platinum super duty.

@@justinsmith2598 Cadillac moved to IRS just because of the Lincoln. IRS rides better. Lincoln forced Cadillac to upgrade. The initial comment was accurate.
@@christopherstreet2214 Yeah, the luxury full size segment. But GM started the full size segment with the Chevrolet Suburban in 1935. 60 years later, Ford came out with their full size SUVs.
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.
@@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
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.
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
6.2 liter V8 .... meanwhile in Europe, while shopping for a 15k € city car, expect to pay 2k € eco-tax (markup) because your 90 HP 1 liter 3 cylinder produces 17g of CO2 over the mandated limit of 95g per km.

what a stupid lazy comment.."i would never think about buying one" .. spoiled little Millennial mindset.. so what who cares .. you can't afford it or don't want one , again who gives a shit what you want.. what a worthless thing to type out.. so stupid.." its a review .. work under that context..
@@reserva120 I think hes just being sarcastic

Same
In America, they call this a full sized SUV. Everywhere else, we call it a luxury apartment on wheels.
The Escalade might also be too tall to enter some of my country's multi-storey/underground carparks that have height limits of 1.8-1.9m (6'-6'3")

Need a new segment called IN THE DRIVETHRU where you test each vehicles abilities at the local Arby's drive thru! Could be a sponsorship opportunity as well! #BeefNCheddar
Please do this lol

This is Cadillac's response to the Lincoln Navigator. Everyone can thank Lincoln for upping their game in this segment.
Lincoln is updated the Navigator in order to compete with the all-new Escalade, which means that the Escalade made Lincoln up their game.
@@justinsmith2598 Cadillac moved to IRS just because of the Lincoln. IRS rides better. Lincoln forced Cadillac to upgrade. The initial comment was accurate.
@@justinsmith2598 navigator came first in 1998
@@christopherstreet2214 Yeah, the luxury full size segment. But GM started the full size segment with the Chevrolet Suburban in 1935. 60 years later, Ford came out with their full size SUVs.
Competition is good for everyone.

I’m looking for a land yacht that says ‘move over poor person’, I’ve got just the thing.
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.
@@michaeln4018 Stop it. 99% of rich people drive new expensive cars.
That Escalated quickly
"there are some negative points like the price and..."
pretty funny
Reliability, and this thing probably does 3 mpg.
@@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
@@hedgehogthesonic3181 LOL YOU CAN’T COMPARE A SIENNA TO A ESCALADE LMAOO
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!
If GM can bring this kinda of quality to Honda. I don't mind they working together
SUVs bring the bacon home while sedans are a sinking market with higher "hidden costs" due to the differing safety and emissions standards.
@@AndrewSanjanwala For now, yes. Like minivans before them and wagons before that SUVs will fall out of style. What will come next is anyone's guess.
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.
Front camera is the best feature on the new Escalade, now you can limo tint the windshield and just look through the camera at night
Daybreakers
@@PianoBlackTrimRep. love that movie!!😆
A front peasant blocker. Lol
Sounds like a great candidate for a killdozer SUV
I just see extended warranty and depreciation written all over it. Makes sense
Like just about every other luxury brand out there, ever buy a Mercedes out of warranty?
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
@@psnmadracer27 good point
@@anydaynow01 definitely not
@@needmetal3221 the 2008 Escalades with mileage near 100k are still fetching 10000+ and that car is 12 almost 13 years old
6.2 liter V8 .... meanwhile in Europe, while shopping for a 15k € city car, expect to pay 2k € eco-tax (markup) because your 90 HP 1 liter 3 cylinder produces 17g of CO2 over the mandated limit of 95g per km.
