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

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 wireless charger is a little slow. • Stock AKG Stereo - Bass is fantastic and tight, however I recommend tweeters in the pillars on future models. The stock tweeters in the dash kill the crispy highs, as I believe they reflect off of the windshield. • Interior cabin lighting could be a little brighter. • My steering wheel wood trim color does not match the rest of the car. Most definitely a supply chain constraint, and it does not bother me much, but would absolutely drive some folks crazy! • Non-laminated glass on rear doors. For a car of this price, acoustic glass at rear seats should be standard. • 22" wheels - Love they way the look, but they can be unforgiving on this car in regard to road chatter. I had "upgraded" the tires to both LTXs and Scorpion AS3s, and it only got worse over the stock Alenzas (which have been pretty good!). I will downsize to 20"s for an even softer ride at some point. Overall, I love my new Escalade! She drives so nice, shifts smooth and has plenty of smooth power. Other than the minor gripes above, I am more than thrilled with the car! Highly recommended!

2023 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum

Do not let Cadillac charge you for the AKG stereo package. The sound system is garbage. I’ve had now 2 Escalades with the same issue. 2021 amp failure the bass would cut out and now my 2023 the amp cuts out and the rear door tweeters crackle but the dealer states that there is nothing wrong. If you buy state that you will not pay for the AKG sound system, it is not worth the amount they are charging. Other than the garbage sound system you will have to deal with the crooked rear entertainment screens that Cadillac will not fix because they state Cadillac goes thru a rigours review process and everything examined has a so many inch tolerance.
