New Cadillac Escalade vs. the Competition

See How the New Cadillac Escalade Measures Up Against Its Competitors in Newtown Square

The new Cadillac Escalade is the epitome of American luxury - with a spacious interior, a coddling ride, and state-of-the-art infotainment tech. The competitive large luxury SUV class also includes powerhouse models such as the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Lexus LX 600, and BMW X7. However, the new Escalade soars above its rivals in several areas. Hill Cadillac in Newtown Square, PA created the following comparisons for more explanation.

Cadillac Escalade vs. Jeep Grand Wagoneer

You'll want a burly engine in your SUV for simpler highway passing in Chesterbrook, PA. The new Cadillac Escalade offers three potent engine options, including a supercharged 682-horsepower V8 in Escalade V models. The new Jeep Grand Wagoneer only offers one engine - a twin-turbocharged 510-horsepower six-cylinder motor.

Large luxury SUVs aren't usually the most fuel-efficient vehicles, but the new Cadillac Escalade offers a surprisingly economical turbodiesel engine. Frugal Wayne, PA drivers will appreciate that rear-wheel drive Escalade models with turbodiesel motors earn 21 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. The new Jeep Grand Wagoneer returns just 14 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway in its most efficient configuration.

If you tailgate at ballgames or load up your SUV with purchases from West Chester, PA stores, you'll need an SUV with a voluminous cargo hold. The new Cadillac Escalade has 25.5 cubic feet of space behind the third row of seats, 72.9 cubic feet of room behind the second row, and 121 cubic feet of cargo space with both rear rows folded down. The new Jeep Grand Wagoneer only has 96.9 cubic feet of space with all its rear seats folded.

Cadillac Escalade vs. Lexus LX 600

You'll choose from three engines with the new Cadillac Escalade, ranging from a 420-horsepower V8 motor to a 682-horsepower V8. When properly equipped, the Escalade can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in around 4.4 seconds. The new Lexus LX 600's lone V6 engine makes 409 horsepower.

The new Cadillac Escalade has accurate, responsive steering and a gentle, relaxing ride. An available adaptive air suspension enables it to glide softly over uneven pavement in Wilmington, DE. The new Lexus LX 600 has too much body roll when rounding turns. It also doesn't ride quite as smoothly as the Escalade, especially models with the larger, 22-inch wheels.

You'll have more room to stow your suitcases or sports gear in the new Cadillac Escalade. Newtown Square drivers will appreciate that it has 121 cubic feet of cargo space with all its back seats folded down. The new Lexus LX 600 only has 71 cubic feet of total cargo room.

Cadillac Escalade vs. BMW X7

A well-equipped infotainment system makes slow-crawling traffic in Chesterbrook, PA more tolerable. The new Cadillac Escalade has a sharp, 38-inch curved OLED display spanning its dash with wireless smartphone integration and wireless device charging. Clear graphics, quick responses, and easily navigable menu layouts make it a cinch to control while driving. The new BMW X7 has a 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen, but it takes some practice to learn how to operate it and navigate through the myriad menus.

You'll have ample space to store luggage or road-trip supplies in the new Cadillac Escalade. It has 25.5 cubic feet of room with all the rear seats upright and 121 cubic feet with all the back seats folded. The new BMW X7 has just 90.4 cubic feet of cargo space with all its rear seats folded down.

The new Cadillac Escalade has a dazzling, modern interior with soft leather, glossy wood trim, and 38 inches of curved OLED displays. Wayne, PA drivers will like its available 36-speaker AKG premium audio system. The BMW X7 has a handsome, well-built cabin, but it's more understated than the Escalade. The X7's finest stereo upgrade only has 20 speakers.

Pricing: Cadillac XT5 vs. the Competition

Families from Chesterbrook, PA buying a new luxury SUV on a budget will be drawn to the Cadillac XT5. Starting at $44,295, the Cadillac XT5 is the most affordable new SUV among this quartet. The Audi Q5 starts at $45,300, while the Volvo XC60 and Lexus RX are listed for $48,395 and $49,950, respectively.
