Overview

Cadillac isn't known for subtlety. Whether you're talking about the tailfins of the 1950s or the hulking monolith that is the Escalade, this brand is about as understated as a disco ball. For those who figure too much is almost enough, the larger Escalade ESV is the longest SUV for sale today, surpassing the standard Escalade by more than a foot. It not only casts an imposing shadow, but it also provides much more passenger and cargo space. Not surprisingly, none of this comes cheap, as the price can easily slip past the six-figure mark, and you'll be lucky to get 18 mpg out of it.

Edmunds spotlight: Big changes for 2025

The Escalade ESV receives a substantial refresh for the 2025 model year that includes some styling updates that bring it more in line with the futuristic all-electric Escalade IQ. The biggest change is found inside, with the addition of a massive 55-inch infotainment display that spans the entire width of the dashboard. That alone may be worth the price of admission, but it's worth noting GM's praiseworthy Super Cruise driving system is now standard on all models. It's not all good news, though, as the more fuel-efficient and tow-capable diesel engine option has been discontinued.

Competitors to consider

As noted up top, the Escalade ESV is the largest SUV you can get, but it's not necessarily the best. It's in the same size class as the Lincoln Navigator L and is comparably modern and refined, but we give the edge to the Navigator in a head-to-head comparison. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer L is also worth consideration if you need more towing capability, but it's not quite as comfortable as the Escalade. The smaller Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7 are more luxurious but can't match the big American's interior volume.

Which Escalade ESV does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest checking out the Premium Luxury trim as it adds several desirable features to justify the $9,000-plus price jump. The Magnetic Ride Control suspension provides more comfort and stability, while the panoramic sunroof puts a spotlight on an interior bathed in leather.

Waited six months for my ESV Platinum and it doesn't disappoint!!! Ride luxury power looks size and tech. This vehicle has it all!!! Cadillac is back to making Cadillacs! Lincoln and it's V-6 Navigator cannot come close to Cadillac Luxury and it's V-8 power.

Great Car! Needs Some Minor Refinements

2023 Cadillac Escalade ESV Sport 4dr SUV 4WD (6.2L 8cyl 10A)

I have driven my Sport ESV 4WD around for about 2000 miles now, since purchasing new. The car has been great! Aside from the obviously fantastic looking interior and exterior, here are my only gripes at the current moment about the car: • Front seat length - Another inch would be great. • Headrests are kind of stiff with the integral speakers. • CarPlay works intermittently and the …

Technology is erratic

2024 Cadillac Escalade ESV Premium Luxury 4dr SUV 4WD (6.2L 8cyl 10A)

Apple Play is glitchy. Drops virtually all calls. Swings from connected to phone to speaker on phone. Interior mood lighting works only some times at night. Heads up display works only 50% of the time. Enjoy the ride and handling.
