When it comes to full-size luxury SUVs, the Cadillac Escalade is in a class of its own. But did you know Cadillac offers multiple versions of this iconic vehicle? Let's examine the key differences between the standard Escalade and the extended-length Escalade ESV. Remember to check out our more in-depth comparison guide online.
Comparison Highlights
The most obvious distinction is size. The Escalade ESV provides a full 15 inches of additional length compared to the regular Escalade. This translates into significantly more cargo space behind the third row – 42.9 cubic feet in the ESV versus 25.5 cubic feet in the standard model. If you frequently need to carry lots of luggage or gear, that extra room can make a big difference.
Both SUVs are available with the same powerful 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. The engine pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth, responsive performance. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but you can opt for four-wheel drive on either model for enhanced traction and capability.
Why Buy a Cadillac Escalade or Escalade ESV?
Whichever wheelbase you choose, the Escalade delivers a first-class driving experience. The spacious, luxurious cabin is brimming with premium materials and intuitive technology. Heated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a hands-free power liftgate all come standard. As you move up the trim levels, the amenities get even more impressive – from massaging front seats to a rear seat entertainment system to an AKG Studio Reference 36-speaker audio system.
Choosing between the Escalade and Escalade ESV ultimately depends on your required space. But with either model, you'll enjoy a perfect blend of sophistication, comfort, and style. Ready to compare the Escalade and Escalade ESV for yourself?
