2020 Cadillac Escalade in Milton, FL - $0

Cadillac introduced the current generation Escalade ESV, an extended-length edition of the automaker's sophisticated luxury SUV back in 2015. The fourth-generation Escalade ESV is an entirely new design yet instantly recognizable. The ESV offers a 14-inch-longer wheelbase and approximately 20 inches more in overall length than the regular Escalade, maximizing space for third-row passengers and providing over two and half times the cargo space behind the third-row seat.

For 2017 the Escalade ESV trim levels have been renamed for better customer clarity: ESV, Luxury, Premium Luxury and Platinum. All models are offered with 2WD and 4WD drivetrains, powered by a 6.2L V-8 engine backed by a Hydra-Matic 8L90 eight-speed automatic transmission with enhanced TapShift control. The results for this powertrain are impressive, with 0-to-60-mph performance in less than 6 seconds.

The ESV rides on a sophisticated chassis and suspension system, engineered for a feeling of solidity and a quieter, smoother ride. A fully boxed frame – composed of more than 75 percent high-strength steel – is the foundation for its ride quality. New shear-style body mounts help reduce vibrations transmitted into the vehicle. The third-generation of Cadillac’s Magnetic Ride Control is now standard with Tour and Sport modes and delivers precisely controlled driving performance.

Additional chassis and suspension highlights include: coil-over-shock front suspension and five-link/coil-spring rear suspension; a wide rear track that contributes to a more planted stance; standard 20-inch wheels with available 22-inch wheels; an electric variable-assist power steering system that enhances fuel economy and tailors steering assist to vehicle speed; a 9.5-inch rear axle and standard automatic locking rear differential; StabiliTrak electronic stability control, incorporating tow/haul mode, auto grade braking and hill start assist; and a four-wheel-disc brake system with Duralife™ brake rotors that offer up to double the service life, along with brake pedal revisions engineered to improve pedal feel for more confident braking performance.

Much of the story of Cadillac’s flagship SUV is on the interior, where high levels of luxury combine with the latest technology. Inside the passenger cabin, craftsmanship defines the ESV’s passenger space, designed to be one of the industry’s most authentic and luxurious cabins mixed with seamless technology integration for today’s connected luxury customers.

The instrument cluster features a standard, reconfigurable, high-resolution 12.3-inch digital driver information center display paired with Cadillac’s CUE infotainment system, now standard. Key data also is displayed on an available, full-color head-up display. Along with vehicle systems information, the color driver information center also provides details on the audio, Bluetooth phone and navigation systems, and can be easily adjusted via steering wheel controls.

Real wood combined with premium cut-and-sewn materials and sueded accents, along with ambient lighting, were designed to add elegance to the interior design. Tight tolerances of the instrument panel and door panels, precision controls and triple-sealed doors were engineered and designed to reinforce a feeling of quality.
The seats were designed to be more comfortable and sculpted in appearance with a reclining second row. The design incorporates dual-firmness foam that ensures long-trip comfort and helps retain appearance over time. Heated and cooled seats are standard in front and second-row bucket seats have standard heat. The available second-row bench has heated outboard seats now reclines.
