Leased a brand new 2016 Escalade and fast realized that GM is 10 years behind the competition. The info system the Que might be the worst piece of tech ever put in a vehicle. The transmission starting piping out of gear after 20k miles and the engine idle feels as if the engine wants to stall out as it shakes the car. Service techs laugh and say welcome to the Escalade problems. For the money I would suggest any luxury car but the Cadillac brand.

I love this thing! It is beautiful and fast! Its v8 is awesome!! However, the CUE system is awful. Sometimes it won't come on until a few streets down from our house. No radio, no climate control, the only thing that works is the speedometer. CUE IS BAD. The rest of the car is incredible. I LOVE IT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

We have owned our 2016 Caddi Escalade ESV for about 8 months. It was used w/less than 20k miles on it and still has less than 30k miles. Within the short time frame we've owned it, the info/CUE screen/system blanked out several times, had to take in twice and seems to be fixed now but? When it goes out, of course so does your air. More importantly however the brake pads (on the front end) are defective. Not just worn/general use issues, but pretty much disintegrating and need to be replaced. Since this is considered a 'maintenance' issue, it is not covered under warranty. So a 2 year old vehicle w/less than 30k miles and paying for new brake pads OOP. Other issues like shifting when taking off or stepping on it to get going after slowing down are regular occurrences. The ride itself is noticeably better than the 2017 Tahoe we had before and so far the rest of the bells and whistles are functioning nicely. Just wish Cadillac would stand by it's product better.

This doesn't handle like your old Escalde. It handles mountain curves like never before. The well-sorted suspension and commanding view out make the vehicle seem to shrink when pressed hard. The magnetic shocks do a remarkable job of calming all but the worst rhythmic undulations. Fast, quiet, and comfortable. What more could you want out of a Cadillac?
