2023 Cadillac Escalade Sport 4dr SUV 4WD (6.2L 8cyl 10A)

I purchased a 2023 Escalade Sport and it took about 6 months to come in. My wife and I were able to test drive or even see the car in person until delivery day. My goodness were we shocked. The vehicle is stunning, drives like a dream. My 3 year old gets motion sick, however the Escalade seems to have solved that issue. The air suspension lowers the car when parked, allowing easier access into this mammoth. It also helps when you have a stroller and two younger children. The rear entertainment is a must with kids. Reason for the 4 stars is the gas mileage. We don’t commute to work, but constantly find ourselves filling gas. We can drive to the grocery store and lose a 1/4 of our tank. Overall, great vehicle. Just get yourself a gas card!

My 2023 Escalade just quit running on me while I was driving and Cadillac has yet to figure it out (been 3 days). Not real happy with Caddy. I had a 2019 but typical GM 1 out of 10 runs is good the other nine trade in when you can. Looking to purchase a LX600 because if you look at the issues for these cars it has the highest ratings. This is just the recent. I am still missing the guide lines in the camera which GM still hasnt fixed the programming its been 5 months...

There’s a reason why Escalade is the one all of the others try to beat! My truck has a solid, very smooth ride. All 4 of my kids are comfortable in the back. No one is eating their knees when in the 3rd row. Hands down, this truck drives a 1000 times better than the Navigator. I had an aviator, had a love hate relationship with it. They tried to sell me the Navigator but I just couldn’t get past how horrible the loaners they gave me drove. I felt like I was driving a bus. My Escalade doesn’t feel like that. It’s very very smooth. Would I like a little more pick up and go? Maybe if I weee driving in a NASCAR race… but I’m not, I’m driving my precious kids here and there. This is the best full size Luxury SUV available. The 3rd row in the Lexus is a joke, the Infiniti is a dinosaur, I almost bought a gls or x7 but put my kids 1st as the 3rd row was too tight. I wanted my kids to be comfortable while riding in the car. I’m looking forward to the Escalade IQ coming out.

Platinum trim level- ultimate highway tripper

We traded in a 2013 Escalade Platinum for a 22 Premium Luxury. Nice truck, but I only had it for six months, and because of the crazy trade in value (high) I upgraded it six months later to a 23 Premium Luxury Platinum with Super Cruise and Night Vision. The only downside of a Platinum is price but the upgrades are wonderful. My first Escalade was a 2008 Luxury. There are three major trim levels: Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Platinum. Yes, there are Sport and V too. The V is just crazy- except if you really need a 620 HP truck and Cad $220,644 pricing. We've had the Platinum for almost 2 years now and the only problem was a stuck roof shade which was replaced on warranty. You don't buy an Escalade for fuel economy - we were getting 19.5 mpg on the highway on average. But the ride with air suspension is wonderful. The Super Cruise, once you got used to it after a few days of highway driving is fantastic, it does make for a more relaxing drive at high speeds, and I even used it at night. I'm not an audiophile, but the 36 speaker AKJ stereo is superb. Our 23 is the standard length, not the extended ESV. From the 2021 model year onward with the redesign, the standard length gained about a foot extra length, and due to the flat floor (new independent rear suspension, the third seat is now comfortable for adults. Oh yeah, I forgot about the massaging seats- wow! We haven't had the infrequent grand kids use the rear screens yet. But they''re there. Although the rear cargo area is larger than pre 2021 models, you might want to consider an extended version if you have more than 2 kids in the family and on road trips. This truck is not a day to day city driver. Parking it can be a bummer, it's so big. We drive our XT5 in town, much smaller, much easier to park, but still a 5 seater. The Escalade is a highway beast. . After purchase, I read there is a 2025 Electric Escalade coming out. However, it will be another foot longer, more expensive, and with all the negative stories on EVs now, I don't think I would ever consider that EV. If you just purchase a base Luxury trim, you'll get a stripped down Escalade, right down to vinyl seating, and many of the options missing which you will get in a Premium Luxury or Platinum trim level.

The 2023 Escalade Premium Luxury that I purchased has the best ride I ever experienced in any vehicle I have purchased. The technology options are very intuitive and responsive. I love the OLED 36 inch screen and I am so glad I purchased this vehicle….
