This might just be the largest car we’ve EVER reviewed… Introducing the Cadillac Escalade!
This humungous all-American import measures in at almost 6 metres long, and Mat’s about to take it through a full in-depth review to see if you should consider importing one! (At least, if you live out of the US, that is).
So what do you need to know? Well for starters, there are two engines to choose from, but there’s only one you need to really consider - the huge 6.2-litre V8! It’s a huge engine to fit a huge car, but sadly, the power output seemingly doesn't match up to the size... It only puts out 420hp & 623Nm!
But of course, if you’re considering a car this large, you’re probably more interested in the quality of the interior. And trust us, the Escalade doesn’t disappoint! Not only is it super roomy, but the dash and infotainment system all run pretty well and are dominated by huge screens.
In terms of price, for those of you in the US it’ll set you back from at least $70,000… But is it worth it? Stick with Mat for his latest in-depth review to find out!

The escalade is such a versatile car. It can be used by rappers, mafia, business executives, pimps, and even soccer moms.
My being a pimp soccer mom I can relate

Loooool

British luxury cars: Elegant, refined, understated.
American luxury cars: Can fit your British car in the trunk!
Its all about size!
British cars also break down lol
The American cars are also more reliable and comfortables inside with goods spaces for the legs and security. The European cars that are reliable are the germans. The British are good in powerfull but they wear out fast🤷🏼♂️🙈.
@@rromancunard facts.
Aa, you mean the boot!
4:25 the whole point of having no middle seat in the middle row is so that u can just walk to the third row instead of the hassle of pulling the chair up…
He's doing a demonstration 🙄
🤦
I hate that. I rather have a full row of seats
Two chair in middle row = better to have two passengers comfy than three passengers 'enduring ' the journey . It all depends on what's important for you .
I think that most of us in Europe don't have an idea how huge these things are. Imagine getting stuck with this in the streets of Amsterdam or Paris 🤣
Matt's the sort of guy who can see tiny scratches on car interior but completely missed huge stains on his shorts
I think he got the marks on his pants from the tire when he was flopping around on the hood.
Or maybe he had a shit and ran out of toilet roll 🤣
@@yasinmulla2163 yes he shit shorts, he was sick
He's also a grade 1 bell-end
He wouldn't notice tiny scratches. Did you see him absolutely abuse the hood in the intro?
"I bet you could fit a .45 in there"
"You could fit a mattress in here and use it as a shagwagon"
What's gotten into Mat today haha
Let's just say he's just being an American.
Was waiting for the gun storage comment off him haha
shagwagon hahahahahahahaha
He's bringing out his inner American
Must have seen a re-run of "Kill Bill".
Esecially love how Mat always builds up to the ".....and that brings me to the 5 most annoying things in this car". Never disappoints
I drive one of these for work. At first I hated it but it’s grown on me more than it should have and now I love driving it
If you want Matt to like your car, make sure that it has nice climate controls.
He's probably like me, constantly fiddling with the ac settings. That's why...
I suggest the door bins shud be big
And good door bins
And BMW iDrive
Bcoz he’s English🇬🇧
It doesn't just have its own gravitational field, it's also got its own postcode!
Like an american floating airport!
It's smaller than about 15 to 20% of the passenger vehicles in my area.
"It has its own gravitational pull"
Well its certainly pulling me towards it 😎
Had the older model as a hire car for 3 weeks when was in L.A in 2018 and boy was it fun to drive and never missed a beat.
Mat is slowly becoming more American with each passing day.
He should find a 96 Buick Roadmaster wagon to review.
And is not a bad thing. I really like his American cars reviews.
no he isn't getting fat oops.
KamaL XD no his teeth are getting better lol
UK: story of my life ever since WW2
“It’s alright this,..it’s alright….”
The nicest thing Matt has ever said about an American car.
You haven't seen his reviews of American Pick-Ups, he absolutely loved the RAM 1500. Then you have his positive reviews of Teslas, he even bought one for his Mum.
He has said plenty nice things about Tesla over the years. Most people forget that Tesla is an American automaker.
@@TheStep1980 tesla is a fucking culit not a car maker
He loved Charger Redeye and Dodge Demon?
Because interior of american car it's just alright
The turning circle is 39.7ft (12.1 meters) for the normal Escalade and 43.3ft (13.1 meters) for the ESV.
You did it! I was longing so much for this review!! Superb! Lovely! I LOVE THIS CAR!
Who else thought that the intro was bad but wierd enough to be good...
Strangely, it appealed to the Astro geek in me 🤓

I was trying to wake up
“HORSEPOWER AND TORQUE” I love it when car channels reference each other 😂
oh yes finally i was afraid no one noticed it
straightpipes references, here we go
@@_st4r_gazer_ Me too. I did a double take when I heard it. 😳😆
they did great job with suspension. very soft. Drove this one on weekends. Niiiceee!
"Why need a cooler in your car?" Super handy for road trips. And general driving if you live in a southern state. I wish I had one
The moment when Mat did the "horsepower and torque!" first thing came to my mind is the Straightpipes. Bloody brilliant!
Was looking for this comment
Jacob and Yuri will appreciate that shoutout :D
same!

I love it.. It would be an awesome car to own here in Europe where you're surrounded with X5, X7, GLS, Q8, etc... Awesome piece of Americana... Obviously I haven't sit in one but I think Matt is being unfair here.. I've watched few of the reviews of the new Escalade and they all said that the quality of interior is on par with anything from BMW, Merc or Audi... I guess all habits and beliefs die hard.
Also Matt, my man, you've been to America 50 times more than I have and you don't know that there are alpine roads in a whole country? Ever heard of the states like Colorado, Nevada, Montana or Washington? There are plenty of incredible twisty alpine roads there that are comparable to the ones in Switzerland or Austria.. Oh yes, there is one place where there's no alpine roads and it's called the freaking Great Britain....
He also called the satin trim pieces chrome. Reminds me of one euro review where a guy called the magnesium paddles in a Cadillac plastic.
@@raymonds7492 Reminds me of supercarblondie reviewing a c8 vette and said that americans don't consider it a sports car never the less a supercar it's like a little muscle car. I stopped watching her after that, she doesn't do her research.
Pure prejudice
Initial 40 seconds good sense of humour... Thanks for making me laugh and ofcos your reviews are amazing as always. Pls keep it up.
can't imagine being the detailer and watching Matt rubbing his grimey hands and face all over the hood.

Doug DeMuro does this sometimes too
@@Rickiye I’d be more worried if you treated piano keys like that...
You should see Mat rubbing those white leather in the Rolls Royce video after touching the exhaust and rims
He never has any respect for any of the vehicles he reviews that I’ve seen(haven’t watched many vids for that reason alone). Majorly annoying.
matt: says “coffins”
serial kill*rs: *subscribed*
😂😂😂
There’s an optional exhaust and intake from the factory that adds 15Hp and 9Lb/ft of torque, it also greatly improves the exhaust sound.
I have a CAI intake and Magnaflow cat back exhaust with a resonator. It has a deep and bassy rumble when you step on the gas and a nice growl from the intake, but zero drone on the highway. Throttle response is much better and a little more hp too. I highly recommend Magnaflow for the 6.2L, 376ci V8.
Why would you put a loud exhaust on a luxury car unless you have zero taste
@@welshmunn it makes it sound nicer, not louder.

I love the sound of the back row folding down, the motors sound like cute puppies 😂

In first 15 seconds I just loved the presentation. Big like
I grew up in Suburban SUV's and large American trucks. But the other day I was rounding a corner in my Golf GTI and came nearly nose to nose with the latest 'Slade and I have to say that this iteration is the most gargantuan of them all, seemingly more massive than just the last model. And, it makes me giggle to watch you respond to its heft.

Note to myself:
If I ever become homeless, I’m gonna use half of all my savings to buy this SUV, then use the other half to fill the gas tank a couple times
That's a cool idea
And you might not have any savings to use the public toilet then.

Hands of to u mate, u make every intro one of its type 🔥
Your sense of Humor. Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!! I really enjoyed the Vid!🤣
I had the opportunity to road trip in a 2022 with the Diesel engine. It had plenty of power and excellent fuel economy for what it was strapped to. At a full tank it showed over 600 miles of range and we averaged 24mgp on the highway. And yea, that sound system was incredible.
5 years ago, I took journey around Europe on my 125cc Grom. I went to Scandinavia, Russia, Baltic states, down to Greece, Italy, Austria, Germany, France, Spain, back to England. And whole journey took 24 gallons.
@@yannikoloff7659 It takes a European to compare the mileage of a scooter to a full sized SUV.

The button in the rear of the car to raise and lower the air suspension, I think is more to do with raising a tow bar up to a trailer.

He follows @Straight Pipes in Instagram, and maybe even subscribed to their RUclips channel on his personal channel.

At least it can carry a lot in its back. Trouble is almost anyone looks very small when near this huge motor..As always, fun review Mat..Andre.

5:32 yo where my TheStraightPipes boys at?
Id have that over an x7 hands down. It looks insane and the room you get is unreal 😲
And much cheaper too
SUV vs CUV. Always go SUV.
@Ruud's Ghost I test drove an X7 (looking for new vehicle for wife) and the interior was actually very nice. It was maintenance costs and depreciation that took it off of the list.
@@BoskiM 21 plate X7 with 4000 miles on the clock £102,000, Escalade from the dealer shown £146,500, running costs huge your absolute best MPG is going to be around 13 miles, servicing and if anything goes wrong where are you going to go and it's just massive so driving around the UK is going to be a challenge let alone trying to park anywhere.
@@RushfanUK think there’s two places in uk where you can get parts for this and I think where you can take it to get serviced. Too big for uk roads but you can guarantee everyone will give you way 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Matt referencing Team America @ 5:59 has to be the highlight of this video. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
fantastic intro of car! :) ur best at cars!
What a wining guy this is.
For the gear box you should put the car on sport mode so you can have a very fast changing, but during your driving the car were on normal and comfort mode
I bet he knew that... just wanted to put down the American ride - for obvious reasons!
I prefer this over the Merc or BMW tbh. It’s for the rich family who just want comfort and practicality over almost other things. And it looks great too. This review needed to be less prejudiced against American makes 😂
It's general motors...so its not that great...I unfortunately know from experience. It's a nice looking vehicle though
Why? US made cars are just disguised trucks with shitty quality.
@@wince_moeron I used different brand of General Motors and were very reliable, without problems.🙏🏻

Eversince i started following this channel I see one common thing in all the videos is that Matt is only using Samsung Phones, Starting with Samsung Galaxy S10 😂😂😂😂
And always trying to flex with them.
Man Samsung aren't bad phones
Had a OnePlus at some point. But otherwise just Samsung.

Nice review of the Cadillac Escalade.
Weak Matt: Cannot resist the pull from the escalade while pushing his limits.
Chad Cameraman: Has no issues with resisting the pull while still holding the camera still
Yeah that cameraman was also the one who went out into space and got picture of the Messier black hole.

What a beautiful beast!
Most car reviewers never fail to laugh at the low specific output of GM's larger V8s, but they always fail to realize that torque is the focus. The 623Nm that the Escalade makes is available from way down low, and that's what you need to haul 2.7 tons of Cadillac. The little A45S has a 2-liter with 30psi being force-fed into it, whereas the GM 6.2 is understressed in comparison. It takes a minute for the A45S to build boost. Moreover, if the naturally aspirated Cadillac did make a significantly higher horsepower figure, it'd be much harder for it to pass emissions tests. Peak numbers don't tell the whole story.
That aside, I thoroughly enjoy Mat's reviews and this one is no different. He gave the Caddy a fair shot, which is more than can be said for most American car cynics/critics. Keep 'em coming. 👍
A fair point when you're comparing a hatchback to an SUV. But the N63 4.4l V8 in the current X7 M50i does 523hp and 750nm of torque in an engine two thirds the size and the torque is available lower down in the rev range. So yea, GM V8s can't do power OR torque well.
And before you claim NA vs. Turbo, the Mercedes M159 6.2l V8 can do 622bhp and 635nm in NA form. So even with the same displacement and similar Torque the Germans manage to get another 200hp out the engine.
@@cmtlr As much as I love BMW SUVs, I can say with almost absolute certainty that the GM V8 will outlast the N63 as a result of being understressed and mechanically simpler. While I respect BMW's engineering, I'd hate to be the guy footing the bill when the N63 gets recalled once again for oil burning issues and the like. Fantastic engine on paper, but its track record is less than ideal.
As for the M159, maybe it's best that we don't bring high-compression, high performance dry sump V8s (where shooting for peak numbers is the aim) into this. It's also worth noting that the reason the M159 is long gone is because it wouldn't be able to cope with today's emissions standards, which is something GM's 6.2 does (if only barely).
@@alvie4148 I was just using like-for-like comparisons for ease. In the rest of the world we use 4 or 6 cylinder diesels when we need torque and before you say it's boring, Alpina might have a thing to say.
As for reliability, I can't comment as I haven't owned any of the engines we are talking about. I would theorise that if big, American V8s were a byword for reliability then they would be powering vehicles around the world. Instead they struggle to sell outside of NAFTA.
Its still slow lol and looks hideous ,, range rovers are much faster and so is the g63 amg , and Bentley v8 bentayga
@@cmtlr Because people are prejudiced about them. How many people know that the 7liter ls7 can get 30mpg and weighs around 450lbs? You would see 7 liter pushrod and automatically write it off. Pushrods don’t typically make a lot of hp/L. GM put a hot V in the CT6 and we have many higher tech engines but there’s a reason the small block Chevy is still around 70 years later. The LT6 engine is out now, what do you think of it?
Also You have to build for the culture and market. North America wants big trucks, SUVs and sports cars with cheap interiors but Europe and Asia doesn’t(🇯🇵Gets away with cheap interiors tho). If you did there would be a lot of these engines around. Companies like Ultima and Ginetta us Chevy V8s because they see the benefits.
I've seen dozens of this Cadillac Escalade reviews but I still clicked because Mat is doing it.
And now the V version with more horsepower maybe 600 or 650 the magazine says is coming in the next month. I'm very happy because is a super comfortable and spacious inside for the legs in the third row, and with all this power.
The Netflix Series Ozark made me love these Cadillacs they look badass
0:20 hate to be THAT physics nerd, but regardless, if something has mass (which is pretty much everything) - it has it's own gravity.
Thank you Matt 🔥🔥 I was about to ask for this review
6:34 Coffins 😂😂😂😂
I love the way this man does his reviews
I owned a 98 suburban with a 151 liter fuel tank at the rear. All leather all power auto or manual 4wd switches, 3.42gears around 20mpg highway. Drove it for 340,000 miles!
Towed cars on car trailer occasionally no problem.
0:38 Mat is an extraordinary person. His center of gravity is located not like all normal people in the pelvic region, but in the neck region. The poor fellow cannot even walk because of this, he is forced to move only by cars!
A V8 biturbo diesel engine would be much suitable for this car, with 800 Nm, and 380 -400 HP. Consumption would be 30-40% better, acceleration would be the same or even better.
It comes with a 3.0 inline 6 engine that makes 623 nm. That’s enough for the Escalade. Gm also has a 6.6L v8 with 1233nm in its HD trucks. I think that engine might weight too much though.

@@user-xw4vg1vy5e well, car will be faster but consumption will be 30-40% more then a V8 biturbo diesel

Lol at the noticing the stain on your pants, I seen that when you were doing the back seat review and couldn't help but think was that from hugging the car at the start lol

Nice vehicle and I was able to understand a lot of what this bloke said.
The augmented HUD takes me back to barrelling down the street in an Escalade in Need For Speed Underground 2. That alone sells the whole car to me.
My neighbour recently got one and because we share a drive way and there is no wall separating the two drives his Cadillac makes my land cruiser look like a mini
