Keep the great SUV vids coming, I like checking out the latest tech and models of SUVs because that is pretty much what I can only drive due to being a large man.
I've been waiting for this video for the longest time, absolutely love the new Escalade!!
The repetitive LOUD music in the background is quite annoying.
Good Job guys !!!! i was was waiting this video for so long time, You are best ;)
been waiting for this review for long time
Nice review I was waiting for this one
What's with the audio? In the parts when he's driving the car and interviewing that guy Roman sounds kinda metalic and robotic and there's a really annoying high frequency sound that's murdering my ears :P
Cadillac, Art and Science
...except for the column shifter
What's wrong with it? It frees up space in the console. Escalades have always had it and customers are used to it.
is kinda better up there
Right! I hate that thing!
Very nice vid, as always.
Love what Cadillac has been doing for the past two years, def making a come back! All they have to do is get thing straighten out with CUE!
What's up with the irritating music?
If you come up "short" this is the vehicle for you.
I like the square body more on the older escalades and Denali the headlights are throwing me off a bit but it's still a caddy so I like it and also think caddy should have did a dual chrome exhaust integrated in the bumper like on their 2014 models
4:11 is that feature available in the GMC Yukon and chevy Tahoe and suburban?
"Not about 'showing off.' It's a 'celebration of success.'" Riiiiight. More like a celebration of wretched excess.
Very good video, and amazing amazing music. Retain this music please. Thank you guys so much for these wonderful videos.
I've driven both the 2015 Yukon and 2015 Tahoe and I love both of them! Of course, they are exactly the same...
Been waiting for this video for like a month, lol.
I remember Escalades used to start at around $55k brand new...now they start at around 80k?? Dammm the value of the dollar keeps going down? Pretty soon they're going to start at around 120k?
not only that, but cadillac did a huge price increase from their last generation escalade to this. previous was 58k base, now it's 73k base. i know the new one is bigger, faster, more luxurious, but damn inflation doesn't go up 15k on a 60k in one year.
nice review but i have no issues with cue though in srx ...and I'm sticking with the tahoe ltz thanks for the review i been waiting
WOW! Cadillac is truly "World Class" now.
LOL world class? the suv looks cheap that is why it is not universally accepted. You hardly see it in other countries
mercy daniels because the cats big and doesn't fit in other country's also in other country's it's very expensive
Sahil Saini *cars
mercy daniels That's because it's not sold in other countries dumbass.
Hi,
You have measured the speed with an external device.
What kind or the device is?
An from where I can buy one like it.
Thank you very much.
As an Escalade owner, I find this review a bit over the top. Personally I don't drive like King of the Road and I don't expect anyone to get out of my way, although they occasionally do. It is big & comfortable for the long trips we take, and it tows the boat like there's nothing more than a string of tin cans tied to the back end. Once a couple of early warranty issues were resolved, it's been trouble free for 68,000 miles and seven years. I have a short commute to work so the mileage is not a problem. In fact, a tank of gas ($90) would last a whole month if I only went to work. I love the car, but please drive with respect for everyone else on the road.
MrPLC999 I have one also it’s just a vehicle guys everyone makes a big deal about them
Someone should tell the guy from GM that a celebration of success and showing off are the same thing, literally the same thing.
I don't agree. Though lots of succesful people DO show off. By buying expensive automobiles, for instance.
But if i have succes and make lots of money, i could also use that to buy art, paintings and stuff. And then put them in my villa or mansion.
No-one will know those pieces of art are in the house.
I could also "celebrate my succes" by making lots of travels to destinations all around the world. In a cheap Hawaii shirt....
0:50, can someone explain me the flashing thing right next to headlight?
Roman when you guys get I yin Colorado please get the esv version and match it up with the Mercedes gl63 or gl550!?
The escalade has sure come along way since the 2005 model that we used to own, I really like this one. However for $83K, I would go for either a Range Rover or a Porsche cayenne instead, but that is just me.
That is true.
But this is 'MURICA. The others are foreign
If I had $83K I would go for the Porsche Cayenne just because it's more dynamic.
But between the Range Rover and the Escalade, I would go for the Range Rover just because I live where there is crazy amount of snow, besides IN MY OPINION Range Rover looks and feels more premium!
Range Rovers are money hogs. A new tranny will set you back over $4,000.00 and there are too many things that go wrong with them. Porsche has one of the worst resale values of all cars. The Cadillac represents an EXCELLENT value for the Dollar.
cadrolls Are you saying cadillacs have a good resale value? ..Better than a porsche? ..FAIL!
I don't understand what everyone else is saying, I love this new Escalade...
I hope that the Platinum version has a grill similar to the platinum version of the outgoing model, because that is a nice grill and nicer tan the one on this standard version of the new Escalade. The Volvo station wagon taillights are an acquired taste IMO.
I know it's a little thing, but The 15 Escalade would look a lot better with chrome exhaust outlets.
I love the column shifter. It keeps the feeling of Classic American cars I think.
What is this 1984. GM is being cheap with that Column Shifter... Sad :( A vehicle like this should have a floor shifter or rotary shifter, like Chrysler.
Dalton Hill Fromthefuture FoodyTunes I think your exactly right, keeping the memories and bring back that history of the old style Classic American Cars! Even the front of it reminds me of back in the day, even tho its modern! I think its great!! Just like the Sliverados.
Fromthefuture cheap? Explain how a column shifter is cheaper to manufacture than a center console shifter that sits directly over the transmission.
JC R Well this is a 80K Cadillac so you would expect console shifter but the column I think looks nice.
Bill Dingo Yeah, I think they did it to make the Escalade feel "truckier".
This car rules. But the rep needs to quit acting like its "Forward Looking" this is an SUV of times gone by, which I love but its not "forward looking"
Feels expensive cause it is!! But if I could I would buy one in a heart beat
Is this filmed in Palmetto Bluff?
This car seems awesome!! Cant wait to get this beast.
lol @ that designer "it's a celebration of success". A celebration of success is 10 high-powered escorts lined up in a penthouse in Vegas with hot dog buns in their hands ready for the main course.
Saw one of these so sick
Beautiful!!
Now that's luxury!
So the SRX is almost 5 years old... Uh are they going to replace it or redesign it?
i like the long tail lamps
That looks great for an suv
I love the Lincoln Navigator but they need to step it up to compete with this!
Very nice car but i prefer how the yukon denali looks (both interior and exterior). Since i love these truck based GM vehicles this might be my next in a few years
how can this car be slower than yukon denali although they have same engine ?
weight, transmission, tires. could be deciding factors
extra interior luxury... i think
A celebration of success - sounds just like your dad's Mark V.
I kinda wish they got Nathan to do more of these new car reviews lol.
If I'm going to drop that kind of money, I'd rather have the Lexus LX570
Too bad the Lexus is butt-ugly (and isn't very good)
***** yeah GM trucks are the way to go. They'll be just as reliable as any Lexus.
***** The long wheelbase clean diesel Range Rover.
***** If fuel economy is a total non factor, I like the Escalade. The looks don't bother me really at all. My biggest nit pic, is no clean diesel option. That being said, Why not just get a fully loaded suburban and save $30,000 over the RR?
***** I'm with ya. I agree.
I think that escalade is beautiful!
Like has been said before, visible exhaust tips with a nice note should be on this ride... not sure how I feel about the rear all together....
Is it bigger than the suburban?
It probably has that system to lower engine power when you hit the brake and gas at the same time to avoid having a 'Prius' incident, making a good launch difficult to achieve.
I would love to have one of these. ;c
Where was this filmed?? It looks familiar
I was sold the first time i Drove the 2008, so effortless for a massive SUV, i cant say i like the center counsel in this one, reminds me of ford my touch
Wow, that escalladed quickly
That grill is massive. To massive. Every other vehicle cadillac is building is a step forward with genuine innovation. This is none of that.
You know what screams luxury? A column shifter.
Why no mention of those Volvo-esque tail lights?
I see the Caddy has the gun locker in the back as well.
I've said since 2002, that one day, I will own one of these bad boys! 12 years later: still broke and that dream lives on!
Overall pretty good refresh, but I'm not a fan of the tall tail lights.
*COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!*
U siad the same engine of the Yukon and SLIVERODO not Tahoe/surburbon
HOLY TAIL LIGHTS!
I think a blacked out chrome with carbon fiber trim bits would suit some buyers better.
This Cadillac Escalade is bad ass.
what do you people think
is the escalade 15k more worth it compared to a yukon denali?
i'm from germany so excuse me for mistakes
Maximilian Ott yes it is. Interior is much nicer and it has much more stuff in it. Also I think it has the best looking exterior too compared to tahoe/suburban and yukon. Plus it's not really 15k it is about 8-10k
When the Platinum version?
For everyone commenting about the price - just wait until the used ones start showing up. I saw a 2012 Escalade on Craigslist that needed a $500 dollar paint job from someone hitting the bumper, and the owner was asking for $17,000.
I love this suv, it's just the tall tail lights I'm not a fan of. Other than that I think it's very luxuriously beautiful.
which car is better range rover sport high end model or the cadillac esclade high end model? plz help me chose
The Cadillac is chintzy, gaudy rubbish. But if you like that then the Cadillac.
Luxury and performance wise (offroad, mpg, etc) - Range Rover
Reliability - Escalade
Your just saying that because you know that they're better than American cars you bitch.
southdallashogg752
Vauhall is made in England. Mini is made in England.
Owning a company doesnt mean anything.
For example an american bought and own liverpool football club. Does that mean Liverpool is American? No
southdallashogg752
Next thing you'll be telling me is that Aston Martin isnt British or Mclaren or Lotus or Bentley or Rolls Royce
The music you use in your videos distracts from the review...
why dont europian and japanese by escalades . can someone tell me??? dont tell me its feul price because germans have thirstier suvs .
It's awesome that TFL will admit that they haven't spent enough time with a car to write a comprehensive review, because I get the feeling that some reviewers will just look at a vehicle, and they're done (I am exaggerating, but not by a lot).
After going to the NY Auto Show, I'd rather take the Lincoln Navigator over the Escalade, because there's actually more passenger volume, including the third row seat. All the buttons on the Navigator are not touch, only the Navigation screen, which is more convenient. The Escalade will sell, but I think that both vehicles could have came with eight-speed automatic transmissions for better fuel economy.
Looks like the GMC Denali is the actual king of the road. What a pathetic 0-60 time.
***** The back of the Escalade looks like a Volvo. GMC >>>>>
good car, but what is stopping me from saying is great is that CUE system...
Quick tip, you may see it or not... But these new cars don't like torque revving before a launch... the trick to best launches are a small roll away then punch. I don't know why, but I'm sure it's all the computers trying to protect the engine and transmission.. my two cents.
Should've come with an 8 speed. They could've gotten better mpgs. Also these new GM trucks are getting too heavy. I remember having a 98 suburban that weight about 5000lbs with 4wd. Now a new suburban weighs 5900 lbs. I'd hate to see how much the new escalade weighs.
They have a 10 speed coming in the not too distant future. Should be ready for the 2016 model year. They are co-developing it and a 9 speed FWD transmission with Ford.
Did yall catch the Dodge Durango following at 4:44. Very shady tfl.
The previous generation looks a lot better than the current but this one is one of a kind of its own.
For your info Silverado and yukon don't come with 6.2L engine unless its a denali
That baby is expensive as fuck but by god is it beautiful.
Even though they show the price of the Escalade, it may seem astounding. But, that is just the price as tested, not the MSRP price which it mostly means that it is less expensive than what they show with the price as tested.
Um, guys? This thing is a TRUCK, not a car!
Is it just me that thinks the tail lights, we'll the whole back end looks like a hearse??
What's with the high pitched noise that comes and goes throughout the video? Damn that was annoying. It looks great except the pillar tail lights. What are they like 4 foot tall? Odd. Other than that I love this thing. Definitely classier than the older escalade.
People shouldn't get their panties in a bunch over the slow 0-60 time. These guys NEVER ever come close to the manufactures claims. I fully believe this thing can do a 5.9 0-60
Should put diesels in the Tahoe Yukon and escalade
I think apples car play system is probubly going to br the best infotanement system
GM made pretty good cars this time around.. about time.
bought first one in 2005 second in 2007 third in 2010 and still have all of them today the 2005 has 392,000 miles runs like new no problems regular maintenance!!!
it kinda looks off to my opinion but it looks nice
Roman, nobody ever reviewed Cadillac Escalade vs Lexus 570 . there is a lot to tell in terms of performance and elegance. Please try to fit Nathan in the trunk.
For that price, you should get a massive sunroof
i would take a gl over that any day
This puppy will set your pocketbook back...$$$$$$
I prefer the Range Rover to this or any luxury SUV. However, if I was choosing between getting a base Escalade (which happens to have more than what I need) or a loaded Denali which costs the same, I'd go for the Escalade
LOVE A BBIG CAR
