I am a Cadillac guy from way back. I have owned eight of them. I respect how they think. However, I have never seen your work before and I have to tell you that I really enjoyed your review. Camera work is spot on. You put the viewer in the car, and that is where the magic lies. I also got a big kick out of your commentary. I felt like i was riding down the road a neighbor who just got a new Caddy. Well done. Keep up the good work.
I love how absurd the Escalade is in everything it does. it's closer to muscle cars like hellcats and gt500s than family SUVs. But i would love to see some drives and reviews of some cars that are priced more consumer friendly. You do a great job, and i think a lot of people would appreciate a buyers guide
These days the Escalade is better than a Rolls Royce. Cadillac is finally living up to its name. I personally prefer the naturally aspirated engine version of the Escalade since it will give you more range. I like the sound but i think that fast SUVs and crossovers are very stupid but if you were to get a fast and somewhere practical SUV then the Escalade is the best choice.
@@kingamir7487 Speak for yourself, you don't know what "we" wants, everyone is different. I personally enjoy both types of reviews, both in and out of my price range, not everyone is like you.
practicality this is definitely better, Raptor R is definitely amazing but outside of going off-road anything pertaining to that this is honestly the better option between the two not to mention reliability considering both vehicles engine/power output
for 150k there are other cars (cayenne gts, durango hellcat, etc) that people can buy but in my opinion there’s nothing close to this except for the ram trx so this is a pretty unique concept executed quite well
I’m confused why they made a V version of this car. It’s got a ton of power, and it sounds incredible, but it’s a Cadillac Escalade, it’s a luxury car built for comfort, not performance. It’s not really comparable to the Ram TRX or the Raptor R either, those trucks aren’t made for on road performance, their built for off-roading, with high ground clearance and they come standard with 35inch tires. That’s not what they made the Escalade V for.
I am a total Porsche nut and I would buy a Cayenne or Panamera as a daily without even thinking about it lol but there is just something about this massive thing.. Seeing these on European roads is something else then a Porsche or Range Rover that are quite common... I would love this as a daily, sounds great, love the cockpit although i'm normally not a fan of too much screens and touchscreen stuff. 150k is a massive amount though, even for a Cadillac ngl.
DCT won’t be able to handle the power and towing conditions. There’s a reason why manufacturers went back to the traditional transmission like BMW did with the new M5. These transmissions shift very quick.
My neighbor just bought this thing - as a counterpoint, I guess, to his wife’s AMG 63 G-Wagen with the side exhausts. Both jet black, of course. Needless to say there is a lot of deep, throaty rumbling and poppin’ going on in the cul-de-sac as they ferry their young girls back and forth to school haha!
@@finn7530 had a new 98 chevy blazer and the 4x4 stopped working and so did the gas gauge after 5 years. I know things have changed but I can still feel it where they stuck it to me.
I think I may have seen this same exact Escalade in Taylor a couple months ago at a restaurant. Not sure if it was you, or if it was a total different "V". Same color and everything. I didn't see who got in it, I would have loved to see that thing up close, RUclips does not do it justice.
I’m a Lexus fan myself, and I think the LX cannot compete with this V-version. The Caddy blows the Lexus out of the water as Lexus does not come close in horse power and performance. Now if you ask about reliability, the Lexus wins of course!
This generation of Escalade is IMPRESSIVE!! But I’m not certain slapping a supercharger, stickier tires, and a louder exhaust is worth the extra $30-$40k. And can you imagine dealer markups?! Still, big fan of these ‘Slades, but man $150K is BIG MONEY when you could slide into a Mercedes Benz AMG GLS 63…I dunno…just think about $150K and wiper stalks from a Chevy Sonic. Impressive still…$150K though!
Slapping a supercharger? This ain’t Dodge. Did you not hear the part where he said every single one has a *hand built V8?* That’s the type of shxt you pay extra for. There are plenty of motors GM could’ve slapped in this thing off of a assembly like and called it a day. The powertrain clearly was not an afterthought despite how badly you want folks to believe this is nothing special. 😂
WOW!!! I want one so bad - a silver / gray one and aftermarket gloss black wheels! So damn nice!!! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁 (EDIT: my God, that engine, exhaust sound and those lightning-fast shifts, holy shit!)
They literally just dropped an old iron block engine with a supercharger in it and upped the price by over 50%.💀 Another genius move from GM after canceling the Blackwing V8.
I see a V8 vehicle with an active exhaust either factory or after market with Topher driving in his hometown, I am a happy person.

This car is amazing escalade v by a 6.2L engine and incredible sound i think is one of the best suv for family
The best POV driving I ever watched. Thank you
hiii :)
Pretty insane price for an Escalade. I certainly don’t think it’s worth it but Cadillac will no doubt have no problems selling it
it's to compete with the $175k Range Rovers. You basically get a 15-20% discount on the higher end versions.
ohhh its worth it
@@doughboi007 Cars are getting so insanely expensive now

What if lincoln made a navigator R with the predator engine? Or jeep with a grand wagoneer redeye?
@@zoomzoom3839 i was mainly talking about size and experience
all of these cars (escalade v, trx, raptor r) are all large vehicles that can go fast

watching you drive this suv is insane i wonder how much a full tank of gas is i'm sure its close to $200-$300
It’s like 85 dollars

It has insane presence. A black Escalade always means business.
Here in Brazil the price is more than 600 k dollar
The best sounding stock exhaust of any vehicle!
Started laughing at around 12:44. Unbelievable how this is how they come from the factory exhaust-wise.
It was a sounds at 14:34 that did me in lol
It's the best sound that i heared
This SUV looks like the goddess of luxury 😍😍😍
Thing looks and sounds amazing
Finally, an economical suv for my family
Most beautiful interior🧡
Love this car. Fantastic way of going all out with ICE before going electric.
4:05 the engine and the placement looks like a mechanics worst nightmare.

is the M340 crackle through the speakers though?
@@StlPike2004 Nah, I have all the engine noise through the speakers nonsense coded out.

@12:45 “little bit of steering feel around these corners”.
That’s because you don’t have the steering feel selector all the way up
$150,000 and they still can’t make the speedometer refresh by 1 mile an hour increments, it’s a small detail, but looks pretty bad.
I agree it’s a small detail but very important considering it looks horrible
I really dislike the digital dash trend and hope it dies soon.

What is Cadillac trying to do these days🤯. The interior is beautiful and high tech 🤑👏
Nice voice and normal calm speech.
This car is 🔥
Fantastic sound, but I feel like the 10-speed is letting it down. If this was a DCT with 7, 8, or 9 gears it would be an entirely different animal.
This way is more comfortable.
This is for a rich dad/mom though, they dont want DCT's lol
DCT won’t be able to handle the power and towing conditions. There’s a reason why manufacturers went back to the traditional transmission like BMW did with the new M5. These transmissions shift very quick.
