Used 2014 Cadillac Escalade Consumer Reviews

First Escalade

We bought this amazing SUV last summer after trading in our Enclave. Needless to say, we will not be going back! The Escalade is exactly what I expected it to be and more! The only down side about the Escalade is ride comfort. Even with the new magnetic ride control it has improved, but is not up to par with other SUV's in its class such as the Mercedes GL-Class. Other than the ride, it's amazing!

Love my ride

Great car. Highly recommend. Only negatives are Bluetooth only works with cell phone and third row seats do not lower. You have to remove them to use cargo space.

Reliable car. Head turner.

Comfortable on long trip.

Escalade

We had first looked at the 06 Escalade but didn't like it. We went with the Mercedes R350, but when it was time to change, the styling was a turnoff compared to the GL. So we went with the Gl450. It has a great third row, but the bench seat is a turnoff. So we decided it was time for a new luxury SUV, with captain chairs, leaving us to the Navigator, extremely bold, the QX56, in which the redesign didn't thrill us but was a near choice, or the Escalade. By far the styling is great and overall i am pleased with it. It has AWD, which I need, and is VERY difficult to get in Florida.

This is my 3rd Escalade I looove this truck!

I can't begin to describe how much I love this vehicle. Under diress from my husband, I sold my 2008 Escalade and went to a Buick Enclave. While the Enclave is a wonderful vehicle and extremely smooth ride, after 15 mths, I missed my big gas gusseling SUV! I missed the 6.2 liter engine. If you've ever owned an Escalade before, its very hard to go down(in size and performance)to anything else. I had been spoiled and continued to complain about letting him talk me into getting rid of my '08 Escalade which never gave me a lick of trouble. So, the stars aligned and he went and got me another Escalade. A newer, nicer one than I had before! All is right in the universe again!

2010 Escalade - "Long in the Tooth"

My 3rd Esc AWD - '03, '08, '10. Selling features on this one were Magnetic ride control, active fuel mgmt (4/8 cyl), front side airbags standard. RE the ride control - only thing I notice is slightly faster transmission of road variation. It' certainly a more "euro" feel, frankly out of place in such an SUV as this. Active fuel mgmt is a total joke - I got better mileage with my '08 (but, only 500 miles so far in this one). And guess what? No more rain sensing wipers and no more heated washer fluid (I'm from Wyoming - needed that hot washer fluid!). There's more, but the crowning blow came when transferring OnStar - you can't keep your old number!!

Love my gas guzzler

Love it. Just be prepared to spend at the pump!

Outstanding vehicle. King of the Road

You get what you pay for “king of the road”

The 'Beast'

We love the Escalade.

2013 Escalade

Cadillac forgetaboutit

It's a Caddy, don't sleep! If you are looking for a family SUV ala loading up kids and stuff maybe this is not it but if you are looking for a personal Exec type of ride then you've landed. I've driven all the competition including the Rover which is not mentioned here and I came home to American made luxury. 'nuff said!

Crap are Us

Run don'walk away from this. This car has been nothing but a headache. This is our second one. The first was a 2000 and now we have 2010. You would think they would take some clues from the first one and get it right. The dash board is light up like a Christmas Tree and so was the 2000. This car is not worth the materials they put in it to build it. High Maintenance cost and you will have them often. Built for appearance not performance.

Little Legs

You'll need little legs if you buy the huge Escalade. Actually had an agreement on an 07 ESV in late 2008 but dealer sold it out from under me. OK since by that time, I realized the tiny, non-adjustable rear seats were almost deal-breakers anyway. No, not the third row small, nonadjustable seats - the SECOND row. My $30k 06 Pilot had more rear legroom and it has seats that move fore and aft, unlike the $70k Escalade. Cool looking as the Escalade is, the QX56 is more usable and we're getting that. I'm surprised you mention Land Rover as an option: Land Rovers have the #1 disparity between perceived quality and actual quality - they're bad trucks but great for poseurs!

AMAZING!

By far the most refined, up-scale SUV on the market. Driving the 2011 Cadillac Escalade is fun, exhilarating, and just down-right exciting. With its 6.2L V8 engine, acceleration and towing is unprecedented. And for the size, gas mileage is amazing.

Toughest test to pass

This car passed the grandchildren and dogs test! And comfort for the grandparents!!!

Luxury Stops Here

Powerful and Luxurious. This model year has not kept up to current technology, however it is acceptable for basic functions.

Stay away!

Owned a 2007 Yukon loaded. Loaded with problems too. Serious electrical issues which scared us to drive it with children inside. We took it in about 4 times and finally traded in for the escalade awd. You would think that being the King literally! Of the Cadillac and the road, it should be built far better than the Tahoe/Yukon? Not ! The biggest pc of crap! I have ever owned! Within 8 months it was in the shop about 12 times for all sorts of problems. Worst was the engine cut off while driving on interstate. Super dangerous vehicle! Took it in and there must have been 5 escalades in shop for shadow problems of mine. Purchased a Volvo xc70 loaded and freaking love it!

Amazing powerful strong suv

Buy it don't think just buy it drives amazing

Great for towing Airsteams !

I have had a Platinum model for severals years. It is extremely comfortable on cross country (RV) trips. A true pleasure to drive. The magnetic front suspension is comfortable and quick. There is plenty of power (we pull a 6,500lb RV.) The only drawbacks are the entertainment screens, and NO spare tire.

Love it

Ours is 10 years old with 150 thousand on it and we still love the car.

Cadillac Escalade

This is my first ever own a Cadillac. A ride a little bumpy, maybe with 20+ wheel, comparing with my Yukon trade in this one is awesome look and hi tech.

Love my Escalade

This is my 2nd Escalade..now own 2002 and 2010...What a great car...Had gm send me the build sheet, and this baby is loaded with everything...Very Happy

3 new suvs

this is the third suv this yr. all 2011 first one 2011 qx56 nice inside good power could not keep on road, drove terrible factory man said we know we have a problem dont know how to fix traded for a buick enclave it was ok but in first 1000 mi the ps went out then the air cond compressor then had to change out tires 3 times to keep it from bounceing all over the raod 3000 mi in the shop 8 timees and there more than home, engine rattles bad ps hum, air cond vibrates traded for a 2011 cad escalade great power nice trim, drives well, super turn radius vs qx no comparison, buick not in same class, it drove and felt like a small car, squeeky seats, just not the quality

I miss my reliable Escalade

We had a 2012 Range Rover and a 2012 Escalade. My kids hated this car because of its size. I absolutely loved it. I hauled all kinds of furniture, gardening plants and etc. Always reliable and barely had to go to the shop unlike our Range Rover. While the RR had a short wheelbase and turned like a dime, it cost a fortune to maintain, try $3000-6000 every time something went wrong. Not the Escalade, try only $500-1000 in all the 5 years I owned it. Had to sell it as I was leaving the country and really miss it. Eyeing on 2018-2021

I already have one

I was looking for prices to compare and base my asking price on as the one I have was inherited. Nice vehicle all around but far bigger than I need.

mary

excellent

All over Pennsylvania and Up and down I95 for 20yr

Sorry, but I love the 2013 Escalade. My 2003 Tahoe is still running today, I tried to kill it a few times, but it just will not die. I gave it away and bought the upgraded Caddy, I believe it should last just as long and be just as reliable. My father use to tell me when I was a small child, "If you take care of your car, the car will take care of you". This Man never told me a Lie! This is wonderful machine, not the best in gas milage, but Safety, Comfort and a peace of mind knowing you will make to your destination... Priceless!

Luxury comfort style

Best decision made! It rides on air, lots of room, 3rd row being removable is convenient for my catering business. Good on fuel. A lot of features. Perfect for me!
