2021 Cadillac Escalade ESV Premium Luxury Platinum 4dr SUV 4WD (6.2L 8cyl 10A)
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.
Not worth
