Why do so many people dislike the Column Shifter? It's an American full-size SUV. They have had them since the, what, 1940's? It just works. And, if you've ever used one, then you'd know how amazingly smooth they work. My Uncle has an '06 Ram truck, and all you need is your pinky finger to move it up or down. I can only imagine how smooth it is on an Escalade. Oh, and THAT is what I call a review. More of that please.
Lucas I agree. I couldn't get used not having the colum shifter, Lincoln has the select shift in the Continental since came back out in 2017 & I think the Lincoln Navigator (latest model) have select shift but don't remember if the MKZ has select shift but want to say it does. I'd rather have the colum shifter vs push button.
Even though I like Yukon XL Denalis, I think I like the Escalade ESV Platinum better, because of the increase of luxury. But, either way, needs to be in Onyx Black (Yukon) or Black Raven (Escalade). It also needs a dual exhaust as well as a performance intake, because, even though the 6.2L Ecotec3 is a great engine, I personally think it sounds like shit. I think the previous engines (the Vortec engine family) were better. But that's just my opinion, considering that I love Chevy muscle cars from the 60s and early 70s.
Kyle, this is why I like your videos. You're straightforward and to the point and don't beat around the bush when it comes to reviewing/giving us a look into a vehicle unlike so many other RUclipsrs who pointless/ramble and gripe about the littlest things.
To be honest, I prefer Cadillacs over Chevrolets. The Escalade is one of my favorite SUVs out there. Real example of what a luxury SUV is. Love it. Awesome review, Kyle. Keep them going.
+Yo u're I know right! The Cadillac Escalade is such a stunning looking vehicle! I've only seen it once in person and it is so beautiful! I really like the Dark Granite Metallic, Crystal White Tricoat, and the Gray Silk Metallic color in this video is just absolutely wonderful!
I really like these, they're beautifully styled and very cool but one thing I don't like about them is in the rear. You'd think that a $90k+ vehicle would have nicer looking exhaust outlets than a single muffler somewhat hidden behind the bumper like an old sedan
I had scheduled a test drive for a 2017 Cadillac Escalade Platinum yesterday, May 11, 2017, and during the test drive I noticed how the magnetic ride control was incredible smooth over rough pavement and I also noticed how familiar the suspension and quality of the ride felt with a 2015 GMC Yukon Denali I test drove a few months ago and how interchangeable the discrepancies are with both vehicles I test drove. The 2017 Escalade Platinum rode and drove identical to a GMC Yukon Denali I tested with a modest amount of creature comforts better than the GMC like the rear-vision camera and 360-degree camera but all else felt like a GMC Yukon Denali or a GMC Sierra Denali. For the money, a GMC Yukon Denali is the perfect blend of luxury, performance, and sophistication.
+LosDelFLOWnyc I havnt drive the navigator but I rented the expedition and was very pleased. The twin turbo v6 is very powerful. Same engine makes more power in the nav
"Hey everyone how's it going, thanks so much for tuning in. For today's video we're gonna be taking an up-close and personal in depth look with the 2016 Chevy Tah...I mean GMC Yuk...I mean Cadillac Escalade Platinum."
i always laugh when people say the Escalade is just a rebaged Tahoe like the Navigator is a rebaged Ford while the Navigator is a rebaged ford that competes more with the Yukon Denali (a rebadged chevy) the Escalade is a level above. it has its own Unique switch gear, it comes with the 6.2L V8 the tahoe does not, it has Magnetic ride control, it has more sound dampening, its own unique shift tuning with the 8 speed, it has its own unique interior architecture (center stack, pass through, dash are all unique) and it has its own unique Material palate with suede, nappa swiss leather, real mat finish wood, and aluminium unlike the Yukon and the Navigator which both suffer from plastics and rebadging from lower end models. much like the VW and Q7 Cadillac has done just as well to make the Escalade higher quality and uniqe from its lower end stable mates unlike the Navigator or Denali.
K.C.'s RC no prob, trust me, people get so upset when i say this because either 1. they want me to say Lincoln is a world class player (when they are not) or 2. they cant understand how i or anyone else would rank Cadillac so high (normally because they hate GM or drove a 90's cadillac Seville and think they know cadillac) its annoying and i can see like 15 comments about how this is a "dressed up Tahoe" which is so far from the truth
CrazyFastRapper in the end its all personal preference right, some people who are shopping in this class would never look at anything less than a range rover.
The Escalade seems better in terms of size, whereas the Bentayga is much better in terms of build quality and snob appeal. However, for the price, the Escalade is really good though.
I don't get it. This is a stupid comparison. Bentayga is a 250k luxury suv, with the finest touches. This is a large sized suv without the finest touches. The similarity is they both aren't worth their price.
Cadillac has always been nicer than Lincoln. Lincoln really is trying with the Continental coming out, but Caddy is going after Mercedes and BMW. However, Cadillac is still lacking in quality. They've gotten somewhat better, but I am still not impressed with that they have NO V8 engines in their cars except the CTS-V. I hate the sound of V6 engines in a luxury vehicle.
When I first saw the design of this Escalade I couldn't get over the design of the crazy taillights but grew on me. You can also start, lock or unlock with the app from smartphone. My parents have the new design Chevrolet Tahoe which the dashboard including the screen is exact as this Escalade which I know the two are one in the same in design.
The Escalade is quite the gas guzzler. I'd probably go for a Tesla Model X P90D. It's significantly faster and has no emissions. If the Escalade had the battery motors from the Model X P90D I'd buy it because the Escalade looks much better than the Model X P90D. I'm going to be honest, Bentleys (is the plural Bentleys or Bentlies?) have never appealed to me visually. If I could I'd get an AMG GT-S, the same colour as Paul Wallace's (Supecars of London), put a carbon fiber hood on the front, a badass rear wing, a front diffuser and up the power a bit. I recreated it in Forza 6 and it was eye candy to me.
+TheRevolutionary465 Not everyone with money blows it on cars dipshit. I know one guy who makes $20 million per year and drives a Prius. Speak for yourself you dumbass.
I'm not from USA so these are pretty rare but I saw one last week and the grille is HUUGE, never seen something that big in European traffic, turns heads.
+Saabkyle04 really impressive lineup of reviews recently. They just keep getting better! I'm really enjoying what you do, been a subscriber since your 2012 Lamborghini Aventador review. You never disappoint!
That's why I love my base 2003 Civic, it has no power windows, or locks, no abs, no traction control, no stability control, no cruise control, no air conditioning, all it has is a radio, stick shift and heat. It's so sad that all these new vehicles have collision warning and automatic braking and blind spot monitoring ... You could be completely clueless and still end up with a license.
to me even at the starting price of 72k it just seems way over priced its a chevy with makeup on it... Prices on vehicles today are starting to get to the point where why even get a new one fewer and fewer people can afford these. Most people have to finance and by the time everything is done and paid for they are spending thousands more then what the vehicle is worth.. Now talking about the platinum level thats really outrageous 90k plus for a gm no way
it's based on a Chevy but if you max out a Chevy suburban it's gonna still cost the same as a base Escalade. I think the extra price is beyond worth it
Cam & Ryan i just priced a tahoe ltz and maxed to just about 68k still prices on cars have sky rocketed to point where getting a new car truck or suv is insane.
+Jayden W. news flash. not really.the lincoln Navigator,Infiniti, Lexus,Range Rover,Bentley, and Expedition don't use a damn column shifter. get your facts together before you come at me with that bullshit. Cadillac is just lazy. they could have came with a floor shifter on this truck. it looks out of place, and it's the,"same one used in damn silverado!"
An overpriced toyota based on another overpriced toyota? No thanks. Im not one to pay $90k for too much cheap plastic. All luxury suvs have cheap plastic, but the lexus has too much.
***** CR in my opinion isn't the best source. It's like bringing up KBB value to a used car... It's only partially useful. I'm talking engine and electronics wise, not total score. If a CR report really was all true, everyone would have the top rated cars of their reviews and reports.
Anyone else notice that the gauge cluster didn't light up properly on the first start he did? Long delay, started to "load" then blinked off and back on again.
Is it is a dealership try to get extended warranty included with the price if a private seller try to talk him down to 20k but even at 23k it is a nice deal and a nice car without a doubt, good luck !
+Mr. A A me personally the vehicule is worth not more then 20 grand because same model year with 20k kilometers they are going for 27-30k depending on the options.
there are better cars for that price range. my best friend has one and it is automatic.bought it new.. it had a little issue with the rear traction in the first year.. it is AWD.. they fixed it under warranty... what else.. the ride is a bit harsh due to those stupid runflats they put on.. from factory.. the ride is ok , power ok not that impressive 7.3 to 8 seconds average to hit 60..mph... it has a cool interior.. but honestly for the price i'd get another car.. countryman are not that good looking as the regular mini or the coupe.. it drives well but as I said not that impressive... for that price range i'd buy something different
I personally have two, 05' RR and a 06' RRS, my family has had them for quite some time all the way from the P38 and now has the newest L405 They have always loved them for their dependability, though Range Rovers are temperamental if you don't care for them, but we don't have many issues with them. Carlos is correct, my 05' has had some AES issues but it was a simple sensor.
Jeffrey Rose LED blinkers make a really big difference... That's one of the things that makes a vehicle stand out. LED blinkers just make the vehicle more premium and flash right at you. It's just basically all the light bulbs on the exterior are all LED except for the blinker...
Jeffrey Rose everything on the exterior of this vehicle is LED expect for the turn signals. For this price of about 100k, I'll pass. Those turn signals look like they came from 2005...
+Jacob Dabb no it's not hence why they aren't sold in the UK as no one bought them so they had to pull out, this car is like other cars in the GM company like the suburban thanks fully no European manafacturer does this as they aren't stupid so I think I will stick to a Audi Q7 or a Porsche
Its weird that you say that because theres never an escalade at the GM service center i go to. I never see any on a trailer or broken down. Hell, if you go on car complaints, their is not a lot of complaints on it. And where i live, there are a ton of these creeping around
hello +Saabkyle04 keep your videos from a year ago, I would like you to help me solve a question I have, then I will buy an SUV. What should I go buy escalade, navigator, infiniti qx80? I am interested in the feeling of handling, space, comfort and interior finished. I like more physically outside the escalade, but the navigator and heard and infiniti qx80 are better in space and handling. greetings from Mexico.
hey kyle, i remember about a year ago you posting a picture on instagram of bajabusta's s10, and you said you had made a video of it. is that video ever going to be posted?
That's a nice beast! Good-looking (this colour helps!) and with a good-sounding V8! But I have an idea: what if the Escalade was equipped with the CT6's 3.0 Twin-Turbo V6 or the rumoured 4.2 Twin-Turbo V8??? For example, the GLS450 has a 3.0 Twin-Turbo V6, while the GLS550 has a 4.7 Twin-Turbo V8! It would make sense!
The GLS is smaller; the Escalade would need the bigger and more powerful 3.6L TT V6 with the 6.2L naturally-aspirated V8 being a no cost option for those who want a V8. The more powerful motor for the Escalade could be the CTS-V's 6.2L supercharged V8 with 640+ HP.
marc1093280 True. But the 3.6 Twin-Turbo V6 is a bit old (the ATS-V could have had the new 3.0 Twin-Turbo V6 instead of the 3.6), while the Supercharged 6.2 LT4 would be a bit too much! I'm talking modern tech here!
+MafiosoItaliano458 The bigger 3.6 TT V6 is not old at all, and puts down more HP and torque than the smaller 3.0L TT V6. The CTS-V engine is pretty modern and sounds incredible and the CTS-V easily goes up against the E63 AMG and the M5.
marc1093280 Yes, the 3.6 Twin-Turbo V6 churns out 465hp in the ATS-V and 430hp in the CTS V-Sport, while the 3.0 Twin-Turbo V6 makes about 400hp in the CT6! (But the 3.6 somehow seems to me like a 3.6 Camaro engine with 2 turbos strapped on it! That's why I said it's a bit old, because as a naturally aspirated unit it's been around since the Gen 5 Camaro's launch! Unless the 3.6 Twin Turbo's a different engine!) And yeah, the Supercharged 6.2 LT4 is a modern engine! Based on the C7 'Vette's LT1, it too has got Variable Valve Timing and Direct Fuel Injection! Fairly modern tech! And it delivers about 630-650 lb-ft and 640-650hp! But I still have an idea: what if the next CTS-V had the upcoming 4.2 Twin-Turbo V8??? Hahaha!
+MafiosoItaliano458 Actually, the 3.6L TT V6 is very different from the 3.6L naturally-aspirated V6, just like how the 3.0L TT V6 is different from the naturally-aspirated 3.0L V6 that GM used to put in the SRX until 2012.
I very much enjoy your videos. I'm a car buff as well and you offer a plethora of information about a wide range of vehicles from classic as well as current. One question I have is where do you get your info? Does the MFR guide you about what information to divulge or do you look through the manual and create a script?
Great Video Kyle, as always! The platinum is really nice, even the ESV Long-Wheelbase platinum..... My mom won't buy it because she thinks it's a hearse, haha. Any chance you'll still be able to review and tour the all-new 2016 Lexus LX570?
I like how the whole console is moving when he presses one button at 18:31 definatly the kind of build quality I would want to see on such an expensive car, also the whole console looks EXTREMLY plastic and definatly worthy to be in such an expensive car. The car looks amazing on the outside thou I just wish the interior looked much fancier and less plastic

Currently have a very nice Dodge Charger SXT Plus but once gas prices improve I definitely want to trade in for a Cadillac Escalade.
If you gotta worry about gas prices you can’t afford it
If I had lots of money, the Escalade is what I would get along with a Bentley Continental GT Speed.
Everyone would get nice cars if they had the money captain obvious

Why you dont review the 2016 lexus lx570?
Might as well get a Range Rover
Waste of money, way to many problems, not worth it. Get a GM, sir!
Three words: Depreciation, Reliability, Cost.
Oh, and Tow ratings are better on this too.
+John Doe go through the comments and this guy wrote a huge paragraph about those. He's very true, just not in the mood to type it out.
***** CR in my opinion isn't the best source. It's like bringing up KBB value to a used car... It's only partially useful. I'm talking engine and electronics wise, not total score. If a CR report really was all true, everyone would have the top rated cars of their reviews and reports.
Anyone else notice that the gauge cluster didn't light up properly on the first start he did? Long delay, started to "load" then blinked off and back on again.
Yup
That's his camera. It's like how the LED lights keep blinking on camera.
America, leave the car engineering and design to the Germans and the Italians.
No.
+James Johansson Yes, American have been shit lately.
Precious Booth actually they’ve been improving. Oh and this is a body on frame seven seat SUV. Non of the Europeans designs an SUV in this segment.
Oh please, Italian cars are uglier than a PT Cruiser
But then there are the Teslas
hey guys im looking to buy a 2013 mini cooper countryman (john cooper works) for $23,000. but it has 60,000km is that a good deal? thanks
Is it is a dealership try to get extended warranty included with the price if a private seller try to talk him down to 20k but even at 23k it is a nice deal and a nice car without a doubt, good luck !
+Mini4Cooper so do you think 60,000 km is good for the year?
+Mr. A A me personally the vehicule is worth not more then 20 grand because same model year with 20k kilometers they are going for 27-30k depending on the options.
+Mini4Cooper alright then thanks m8
there are better cars for that price range. my best friend has one and it is automatic.bought it new.. it had a little issue with the rear traction in the first year.. it is AWD.. they fixed it under warranty... what else.. the ride is a bit harsh due to those stupid runflats they put on.. from factory.. the ride is ok , power ok not that impressive 7.3 to 8 seconds average to hit 60..mph... it has a cool interior.. but honestly for the price i'd get another car.. countryman are not that good looking as the regular mini or the coupe.. it drives well but as I said not that impressive... for that price range i'd buy something different
Rather just get a Land Rover.
Waste of money, way to many problems, not worth it. Get a GM car, a lot better, sir!
then get it lol
+Yo u're first generations only had suspenssion issues, but a Range Rover is way better quality and luxurious car than this big thing
+CarlosN Have you owned a Range Rover and had multiple of them? Has your family and friends had them and said the exact same thing? Lol probably not.
I personally have two, 05' RR and a 06' RRS, my family has had them for quite some time all the way from the P38 and now has the newest L405 They have always loved them for their dependability, though Range Rovers are temperamental if you don't care for them, but we don't have many issues with them. Carlos is correct, my 05' has had some AES issues but it was a simple sensor.
can you please do the 2016 kia Sedona sx trim
Wtf Cadillac? This is the platinum model. And the front blinkers aren't even LED. Went so cheap on it.
They had to cheapen it out because people don't want to spend too much money
of all things on a vehicle, you're complaining about non LED blinkers.. wow
Jeffrey Rose LED blinkers make a really big difference... That's one of the things that makes a vehicle stand out. LED blinkers just make the vehicle more premium and flash right at you. It's just basically all the light bulbs on the exterior are all LED except for the blinker...
Jeffrey Rose everything on the exterior of this vehicle is LED expect for the turn signals. For this price of about 100k, I'll pass. Those turn signals look like they came from 2005...
Dmitriy l Seriously complaining about TURN SIGNALS? Wow. I feel sorry for you.
Such gorgeous trucks. The best looking turck rn I think.
Mercedes GLS > Escalade
The only 2 SUVS WHO CAN BEAT A ESCALADE
ARE AMG GL 63 & A RANGE ROVER SPORTS!
+Jacob Dabb no it's not hence why they aren't sold in the UK as no one bought them so they had to pull out, this car is like other cars in the GM company like the suburban thanks fully no European manafacturer does this as they aren't stupid so I think I will stick to a Audi Q7 or a Porsche
+Chatta290 well said, Escalade is not as tough as it used to be back 8 years ago, just like the Navigator
They are not on top anymore
Not the same category and shouldn't be. Pretty much comparing a Unibody large crossover with a Body on Frame Truck.
*Bentley Bentayga > All*, if you want the luxury of first class
You're videos are amazing!
Keep up the great work, best on the web!
P.S. How about the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S ?
I'd take a G-Wagon any day over this gussied up suburban
its not a suburban its an escalade
+Nehemiah Franklin it's the same platform
Aman
***** ik buy still
GM is a joke
What should I choose full sized gm suvs or a Range Rover
Or the Lexus lx
Gm suv
+Da Masta ik all them nice suvs but I'm looking for how long will they last
Toyota or ford
+CAT MARIO Toyota
Glorified suburban IMO.
Could you review the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado z71 and also the Silverado high country? Those are the two I want to see
Am I the only one that finds this car extremely hideous?
Nope lol
once dechromed they look way better check out steve meades
Hideous? The 2016 Escalade looks bold and refined, both inside and out in my opinion.
Not the only one. The exterior isn't that good but the interior is awesome
Ahmed Kashif Interior design of GM's Large SUVs are very nice, indeed. But, I sort of like the Suburban's exterior more in my opinion.
Hey Saabkyle! Are you able to do a video on a 2016 Kia Sedona Platinum... Thanks
One word. Unreliable
Its weird that you say that because theres never an escalade at the GM service center i go to. I never see any on a trailer or broken down. Hell, if you go on car complaints, their is not a lot of complaints on it. And where i live, there are a ton of these creeping around
+Frank Magana Watch consumer report:s the lowest rated cars in 10 categories
it's just a Chevy Tahoe. extremely reliable.
+Evan Landry I highly doubt you have ever owned a Escalade like I have, unbelievable car, you have no clue what you're talking about.
What year? Brand new or a last-gen
hey Kyle, would you ever consider doing a semi truck again? You've done one 5 years ago.
SaabKyle, what is your favorite vehicle in this segment?
My dream truck Love to see a review of the 2021On this channel
When you post video can you put price here ! Please
When are you doing the Nissan Maxima Platinum
Hi already did the maxima. Odds are he won't review every trim level of every car cause they're press cars
What did he say a loaded version cost? A big house in Texas??
GM sure didn't let us down with this one.
Can you do a 2017 Ford Expedition EL Platinum?
can you review the 2010-presnet chevy equinox
hello +Saabkyle04 keep your videos from a year ago, I would like you to help me solve a question I have, then I will buy an SUV.
What should I go buy escalade, navigator, infiniti qx80?
I am interested in the feeling of handling, space, comfort and interior finished.
I like more physically outside the escalade, but the navigator and heard and infiniti qx80 are better in space and handling.
greetings from Mexico.
Are you going to do the 2016 Ford Explorer?
hey kyle, i remember about a year ago you posting a picture on instagram of bajabusta's s10, and you said you had made a video of it. is that video ever going to be posted?
That's a nice beast! Good-looking (this colour helps!) and with a good-sounding V8!
But I have an idea: what if the Escalade was equipped with the CT6's 3.0 Twin-Turbo V6 or the rumoured 4.2 Twin-Turbo V8???
For example, the GLS450 has a 3.0 Twin-Turbo V6, while the GLS550 has a 4.7 Twin-Turbo V8! It would make sense!
The GLS is smaller; the Escalade would need the bigger and more powerful 3.6L TT V6 with the 6.2L naturally-aspirated V8 being a no cost option for those who want a V8. The more powerful motor for the Escalade could be the CTS-V's 6.2L supercharged V8 with 640+ HP.
marc1093280 True. But the 3.6 Twin-Turbo V6 is a bit old (the ATS-V could have had the new 3.0 Twin-Turbo V6 instead of the 3.6), while the Supercharged 6.2 LT4 would be a bit too much! I'm talking modern tech here!
+MafiosoItaliano458 The bigger 3.6 TT V6 is not old at all, and puts down more HP and torque than the smaller 3.0L TT V6. The CTS-V engine is pretty modern and sounds incredible and the CTS-V easily goes up against the E63 AMG and the M5.
marc1093280 Yes, the 3.6 Twin-Turbo V6 churns out 465hp in the ATS-V and 430hp in the CTS V-Sport, while the 3.0 Twin-Turbo V6 makes about 400hp in the CT6! (But the 3.6 somehow seems to me like a 3.6 Camaro engine with 2 turbos strapped on it! That's why I said it's a bit old, because as a naturally aspirated unit it's been around since the Gen 5 Camaro's launch! Unless the 3.6 Twin Turbo's a different engine!) And yeah, the Supercharged 6.2 LT4 is a modern engine! Based on the C7 'Vette's LT1, it too has got Variable Valve Timing and Direct Fuel Injection! Fairly modern tech! And it delivers about 630-650 lb-ft and 640-650hp!
But I still have an idea: what if the next CTS-V had the upcoming 4.2 Twin-Turbo V8??? Hahaha!
+MafiosoItaliano458 Actually, the 3.6L TT V6 is very different from the 3.6L naturally-aspirated V6, just like how the 3.0L TT V6 is different from the naturally-aspirated 3.0L V6 that GM used to put in the SRX until 2012.
Will you do a review on the 2017 Lincoln MKZ or Continental? Would gladly appreciate it, Thanks!
Hope you can do the 2018 Lincoln navigator
Kyle when do you think you will review the new Navigator?
Can you review the Cadillac xt5 platinum
Kyle could u PLEASE review the Jaguar XJ220 if you haven't already?
hey kyle i was wondering if you could do a review of the 1970s ford f series if you can still find trucks like that.that would be great
have you Reviewed the 2017 mercedes GLS 550
I very much enjoy your videos. I'm a car buff as well and you offer a plethora of information about a wide range of vehicles from classic as well as current. One question I have is where do you get your info? Does the MFR guide you about what information to divulge or do you look through the manual and create a script?
why dont you do acura i would love to see you do the mdx
Awesome!!! This has no competition....
Man U where my childhood I remember when I watch ur vids while eating ice cream xD
This is my favorite truck and has the best interior for Cadillac tied with the new CT6.
hey saabkyle04 are you interested in doing a review on a 1996 Saab 9000 aero stage 3?
I'm so surprised that cars like the Escalade, the Yukon and Tahoe don't have panoramic or dual sunroofs.
I like the fact that Cadillac chose to keep the column shifter.
Have you produced an review of 1970 dodge challenger? It can be any model.
I see a couple of shared parts with my 14 Sierra
Great Video Kyle, as always! The platinum is really nice, even the ESV Long-Wheelbase platinum..... My mom won't buy it because she thinks it's a hearse, haha. Any chance you'll still be able to review and tour the all-new 2016 Lexus LX570?
Is that your range rover
+caro babakknia that's mine. I have Limited Td6 Diesel my dad has the Autobiography lol
I like how the whole console is moving when he presses one button at 18:31 definatly the kind of build quality I would want to see on such an expensive car, also the whole console looks EXTREMLY plastic and definatly worthy to be in such an expensive car. The car looks amazing on the outside thou I just wish the interior looked much fancier and less plastic
