Review

Well I have been driving an Escalade for seven years now and love it! Ready to try on the new 2007 model, I drove to the dealership to pick it up! Cadillac is well aware of my disappointment, I called them! This is a $65,000 - $70,000 truck and I felt the interior quality was significantly lower than in years past! You can see dramatic cuts they made to make it seem more roomy! The seats are less comfortable and the cup holders, ha! The windows don't power up! The automatic back hatch is awesome though. At least that's an improvement. But bring back my confy seats! I think I want my 2004 Escalade back!

Favorite Features

The automatic hatch release!

Suggested Improvements

Bring the comfy seats back. Come on, this is suppose to be a luxury vehicle! The seats are like a board! Spend more time on the inside! People who buy these are a different breed of people and we are spoiled! So the inside should do just that, spoil us It fell short this time!

Review

I like the car a lot, except that the wind and road noise are really bad. A friend I took on a long road trip said his two year old Tahoe is much quieter. Sad, but I have to agree with him. The dealer adjusted the doors once but it didn't help. Is there a fix out there?

Favorite Features

The engine is great and the transmission is a huge improvement.

Suggested Improvements

The cup holders are too small, there's no place to put for example, sunglasses when you take them off or lay your phone down. The space in the back isn't as usable as the old style when the seats are down.

My First Caddy

Review

This is my first American-made vehicle in 15 years...and lovin' my new Escalade. It has a wonderful ride and most of the features that I wanted (no Bluetooth -- come on GM!). The exterior styling is fantastic...just the right amount of chrome. The interior is much improved, it's wonderful for an American-made SUV. GM still has plenty to learn from Lexus, BMW and Infiniti.

Favorite Features

The Navigation system is great, as well as the integrated sound system with XM. The ride is wonderful, even with the 22's. Remote start can be very useful.

Suggested Improvements

Add Bluetooth. There is no left foot rest for those long drives. Provide more storage pockets (where do I put my wireless headphones?).

Review

I love this truck! My 9 year old son calls her the Escalady, what a lady she is! I have driven my 2007 Escalade for 6 months and 12,000 miles. I still can't get over all of the yearning stares (male and female, young and old) and comments about what a beautiful vehicle it is. After all the Escalade is at the top of the food chain. Power is delivered smoothly over the entire power curve. The engine runs quietly at cruising speeds. Push down your right foot and experience spirited acceleration along with a throaty harmonic sound of unbridled power and arrogance. Its fand finish is luxurious. The import luxury SUVs don't even come close! I looked at them all! Cadillac is back on top.

Favorite Features

The way the blue back lit dash gauges fire up when the Escalade is started. Touch screen navigation is second to none. The big front grille and headlamps along with the now distinctive, progressive angular lines in Cadillac body styling. Oh yeah, and her blingy 22 inch chrome wheels!

Suggested Improvements

None

Review

This is the sixteenth new Cadillac we have bought and the best one ever. It makes you feel safe. It's easy to drive, to park, has navigation, OnStar, and all around audio is fantastic. I plan to keep this car a long time.

Favorite Features

The ease of driving.

Suggested Improvements

I wouldn't change a thing.

Hot and Awsome

Review

The new 2007 Cadillac Escalade has the hottest body styling on the market right now. The car is tuned for speed, but still can be driven comfortably. The engine is wisper quiet while crusing on the highway, but wakes up instantly with one touch of your right foot. So if you're looking for a luxury SUV with the heart of a sports car this is the buy for you.

Favorite Features

The touch screen navagation, DVD, XM radio. good power for an SUV, tight turning radius, power lift gate, and rear folding seats

Suggested Improvements

Get rid of the electronic speed limiter and give it better fuel economy (with out losing power).

You've Gotta Have One of These...

Review

The 2007 Cadillac Escalade is one teriffic vehicle. I puchased all the available options with no regret. Finally, a car company not afraid to put in a remote engine starter as standard fair. Don't even get me started on the awsome cooled seats. I found about 15 little features that aren't even documented, did you know the heat/air fan automatically slows (quiets) when you make a phone call so the noise doesn't interfere with the call? How about just touching the turn indicator for half a second and the turn indicator continues to flash 4 additional times. Cool stuff. The ride in this vehicle is truly the best. This truck is worth the expense. I love the new look and interior.

Favorite Features

The remote engine start, ride and handling, cooled/heated seats. The luxury is much improved. The pushbutton tailgate is a great feature.

Suggested Improvements

Bluetooth integration is distinctly missing. How about making the 3rd row seating tuck into the floor instead of folding forward or removing. Auto power-up windows should be a no-brainer. My '96 BMW has that. I'm just finding things to pick on, this is truly a great vehicle.

Review

The new 50/50 body distribution of the Escalade makes for great handling and it stops on a dime. The third seat air curtain is great for those who are carrying extra passengers. The Escalade even has a number of color options. It rides as smoothly as a sedan...

Favorite Features

The third row air curtain, 50/50 weight distribution, luxury, interior, and great color selection.

Suggested Improvements

The second row bench seat holders (middle of bench when pulled down) is not deep enough so drinks are unstable there. Use the cup holders on the floor.

Review

I must say that Cadillac and GM got their act together when designing the new Escalade. We have the ESV model and nothing can come close to it. So far I can only say great things about this truck! It truly defies its size the way it accelerates and drives. It sounds like a muscle car from the outside and the 6.2 liter V8 loves to rev. The 6-speed auto is actually pretty good on gas on the highway. Its a bit thirsty around town but understand we are talking about an 8-passenger 3 ton vehicle here. If you need the room and are looking for a first class SUV there is nothing that compares to the Escalade! Write the check and get one!

Favorite Features

he interior is well thought out and designed. The entertainmnet system with the flip down screens and wireless headsets keep my kids occupied while we listen to our own music. The air conditioned seats and the intellibeam headlamp system (auto high beams) are great. The ESV model can swallow anything.

Suggested Improvements

It should have auto up power windows. A third seat that folds down flat into the floor and Bluetooth capabilites would be nice to have as well. Other than that this truck is truly worth it. Compared to the other high end SUV's ...Range Rover, Navigator, Lexus and the Big Benz the Escalade blows the doors off them!

Review

The 2007 Cadillac Escalade is a great vehicle. We have every option in it. It is very comfortable. The cooled seats are great in the South. The remote start option is great for warming up the engine. I love everything about it.

Favorite Features

The auto trunk opening, auto engine start, navigation and stereo system.

Suggested Improvements

I can't think of any.
