Waste of money

I will be truly honest with you, the car is a piece of crap. The interior should be entirely redone. Let me start with the rear air vents after just 3 months, one was twisted and just fell off. Look at the glove compartment, you can't even fit the owners manual in their. The center console is wobbly and it's a struggle getting some things in and out because of the rough edges. Plus, there is no auto close for the rear window and the tailgate makes a loud ding and is very loud when you open/close it. Also, the interior parts such as the rubber door lining is practically thrown together and each part in the interior seems uneven with the other parts. Don't waste your money and get a German car.

The world's only true luxury SUV

It is the Cadillac of SUV's. Every ball and whistle possible in a car. Interior is perfect and the cooled seats are great on hot summer days. The only thing I don't like is the amount of real estate in the wheel wells with the optional 22" rims. Fuel economy is something of a moot point since with the AWD and 403 hp in such a heavy vehicle. But then, if you're concerned about gas mileage, you probably can't afford this vehicle anyway. This is definitely the finest vehicle I have ever owned. If you have several kids and want the finest large SUV on the planet, this is it.

I have had Chevy Trucks for years, but this thing is awesome! It has unreal braking capability for such a large vehicle and great accleration too! I love the styling and the interior is extremely comfortable and roomy (I am 6'9" with long legs). I can't say enough about it!

I love my Escalade! It seats 7 adults comfortably. It is roomy, has plenty of cargo space. I feel very safe in this SUV. I love it!

More than a Burbun.

Great for a family with a bunch of young kids, can get 3 car seats across third row (two 5 point boosters, rated up to 80lbs, and one 5 point car seat rated up to 40lbs.) The retractable running boards are slightly lower than the standards, and even my 2 year old can climb in without help. She can get in the Lade even easier than she could get into my Toyota Sienna minivan which we traded in for the Lade. Wife loves the extra space for getting around and strapping in the children in bad weather, and the extra floor space for changing diapers, and the HUGE cargo space in back for stroller and groceries.
