With so many luxury SUVs on the market, you may wonder which is truly the finest. Read on to learn what makes the 2018 Cadillac Escalade the top choice in luxury SUVs.
Prime Performance
The 2018 Escalade creates a satisfying driving experience with its 420-horsepower 6.2L V-8 engine and 460 pound-feet of torque. Additionally, the newly introduced 10-speed automatic transmission seamlessly shifts through gears, allowing for exceptionally smooth acceleration.
Optimal Comfort
The beautifully crafted leather and wood details of the Escalade’s interior defines riding in luxury. The Escalade focuses on comfort for the driver and passengers with three-zone climate control, 12-way power adjustable and four-way power lumbar front seats, heated front and rear seats, and cooled front seats.
With 121 cubic feet of space, the Escalade offers plenty of room and comfortably seats up to eight passengers. Rear-seated passengers ride even more comfortably with the Rear Seat Entertainment System, equipped with Blu-Ray and wireless headphone capabilities. Even better, all riders enjoy the crisp sound of the 16-speaker Bose Surround System.
Classic Exterior
Turn heads as you drive past with the sleek look of the Escalade’s 22-inch polished aluminum wheels and thin rear LED Light Blades, enhancing the sharp, iconic design. The sleek design is further preserved by a concealed rear wiper blade.
Make an entrance when you step out of your Escalade. The Power Assist Steps lower when you open a door, allowing for a smooth descent from the cabin. Concierge Lighting on the Power Assist Steps and door handles illuminate your steps out of or into your Escalade.
Superior Technology
The Escalade’s technology eases stress and adds unmatched convenience for you. Approach parallel parking spaces with confidence using the Escalade’s Automatic Parking Assistant. The Automatic Parking Assistant detects parallel and perpendicular parking spots and navigates your Escalade into the spot with precision.
Compatible with Apple CarPlay, the Escalade allows you to access the features you love on your iPhone using a simple touch of the display screen. Not an iPhone user? Android Auto is also compatible with the Escalade. Additionally, wireless charging keeps the cabin neat by eliminating the need for charging cords. Simply use the conveniently located wireless charger anytime your Escalade is running.
The convenience continues with the myCadillac App. Is your Escalade parked several blocks from your office when the snow is blustering? Effortlessly remote-start your Escalade from anywhere with your phone using the app.
Advanced Safety
Comfort and luxury extends into safety. You should feel at ease when on the road with your Escalade. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the 2018 Escalade a four-star overall safety rating. The Escalade’s safety features include Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Change Alert, and Side Blind Zone Alert. These features work together to alert you to any potential dangers on the road and aid in keeping you and your passengers safe.
The Cadillac Escalade is a classic luxury SUV that improves each year while staying true to its roots. Take one for a test drive to see these improvements for yourself.
