Luxury At Its Best

My 2005 Escalade ESV is my third Escalade and it is my favorite one to date! I began with the introductory 1999 model and then owned a 2003. The 2005 Escalade ESV is by far Cadillac's finest accomplishment and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a luxury ride, a large seating capacity, and every option available -- with the exception of the chauffeur. The touch screen radio -- including the XM radio - - and Navigation system are two options that were not on my previous Escalades and I will never be without them again! The ride in the ESV is comparable to riding on a cloud and the maneuverability in an SUV of this size is amazing! You will not be disappointed in the 2005 Escalade ESV!

Comfort and Now Affordable

We have 4 kids and wanted a comfortable vechicle that allows you some space in the trunk. Wow did we find the right vechicle. The kids love the extra room and the captains seats and my wife loves to drive it. It has so many options that we are still finding new options that we did not even know we had. It is worth the extra money to spend over the Chevy and the 6.0 liter engine runs great. This is by far the best SUV we have owned.

Use ESV for extensive loads and trips and always feel Escalade could do more. My 4th one and very happy with all of them. Both short and long wheelbase have been a joy to drive.
