2007 Cadillac Escalade 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)

Review

After test driving multiple Escalades over the past month, I have to say that I was completly let down. While the exterior is absolutely stunning, the interior fails to impress. The interior is not of solid construction at all. Opening the center console I felt like I was going to break it, it is very shaky. Overall the quality of the interior of the Cadillac just seemed very cheaply constructed to me. The power of the engine also failed to impress me as well. After driving it on the open interstate and flooring it a couple times, it just failed to impress.

Favorite Features

The exterior styling.

Suggested Improvements

Better interior construction quality.

Review

This Cadillac is an awesome car inside and out. It has great power and all the luxury that you expect. The chrome on the exterior really makes it stand out. That was a big eye catcher for my husband and I. We are very happy with our Cadillac and have no regrets. I would tell anyone that likes Cadillac or SUVs that this is the vehicle for them.

Favorite Features

My favorite features are the chrome exteroir moldings. I really like the navagation / TV montor and all the wood trimmings.

Suggested Improvements

I don't have any improvements at this time.

Great Truck, Wow!

Review

Hi. I recently purchased my Escalade and prior to that I owned a 2004 GMC Yukon Denali. Let me tell you there is no comparison between the two. The new Escalade is just built so much more solidly. I am so glad that I choose this truck. I recommened it to any one looking for a real head turner.

Favorite Features

The rear camera is nice. I also like the automatic trunk open and closer and navagation of course.

Suggested Improvements

I think it's fine the way it is, but maybe add some slide out floor boards like the ones in the Lincoln Navigator. That would be a more slick look.

Awesome SUV

Review

I traded in my 2003 Escalade for the new '07 model. When I first saw them I wasn't sold, but after a closer look and examining the interior, I was sold. This truck is great...it's scary how much Cadillac stepped up their game to compete with Lexus and Infiniti. The previous models had kiddie interior layouts but this layout meets the money that you pay for the truck. I am very pleased and have no regrets about spending the extra money.

Favorite Features

I like the navigational system. I also love the screen in front to watch movies while in park, the entire entertainment system is my favorite. This truck has great factory equipped 22 inch rims and a neat remote starter. The automatic climate control when using the auto starter is amazing and the automatic wipers are great.

Suggested Improvements

The gas mileage stinks. Also, add more leg room for tall rear seat passengers in the second and third rows.

Review

This my sisxteenth brand new Cadillac it is the best yet. It rides and drives like my sedans and makes me feel like the Queen of the Road. It has great pick up, is easy to park, and makes me feel protected.

Favorite Features

I love being able to start the vehicle from 220 feet away with the A/C cooling the car in this hot weather...then heating car in winter.

Suggested Improvements

I'm waiting for my Gold Package to be completed. The hub cap emblems are not available at this date.

Review

My previous problem with the rear view camera has gone away and now I am left with a vehicle that is just incredible. The power is awesome, the comfort level is great and it's a ton of fun to drive.

Favorite Features

The power, ride and XM radio.

Suggested Improvements

Add a third row flat seat.

Review

I confess...the '07 Cadillac Escalade appearance sucked me in. There have been many changes in to it for '07, like a new ft suspension, punched out the 6.0 to 6.2L added more HP, heated and cooled seats, a heated steering wheel, and other great creature comforts. If you have a need for a large SUV, this is the one! The gas mileage is great for it’s class!. Don't hate the luxury sport UTILITY vehicle and it's mileage...hate the people who buy one with out really needing them! If your like me and spend a lot of time in your vehicle, tow occasionally, haul light materials.. Maybe it is time you pampered yourself? It is everything I expected. The '08 model can only get better from here.

Favorite Features

The powerful engine, great handling, heated and cooled seats, navigation, heated washer fluid, remote start, rear backup camera, and body style.

Suggested Improvements

It needs larger brakes, displacment on demand, Bluetooth, a heads up display, ditch the analog clock, a better tilt wheel, and a dead pedal.

When will I learn

Review

My last three cars have been a Dodge, a Lincoln and now General Motors. What a disaster! The Escalade is a nice truck and it rides well, but the rearview camera has not worked right from day one. "Service rearview camera" flashes on the screen when going from park into drive. The service staff at my Cadillac dealership are totally clueless and pretty much don't care. Maybe they will care when GM gets my survey. The truck only has 250 miles.

Favorite Features

The ride, power and comfort.

Suggested Improvements

QUALITY! Don't get into high technology if you cannot get it right or service any problems.

Review

This truck is much improved! I traded in my 2005 for it and I can honestly say that I like the look and feel of the '07 model much better. The extra cost was well worth it!

Favorite Features

I love the new interior, new exterior, and the sound system.

Suggested Improvements

It needs more horsepower, navigation on a second monitor, bigger brakes, heated third row seats, 24" wheels ad an option, and the option to lower the suspension.

Review

This is one of the nicest SUV's on the market. I looked at all makes this time before buying and after a test drive.....was sold. I love it!

Favorite Features

The overall comfort and ride are excellent and the sound system is the best.

Suggested Improvements

Get rid of the clock...it's useless. It needs some storage space in the rear area for small tools or a first aid kit.
