Terrible Value

Very sharp design and the dash board display is excellent. Plenty of power with the 6.2 V8 and a comfortable ride. What I don’t like…….No blind spot warning lights in the mirrors. $86,000 for a vehicle without blind spot warning lights when my wife’s base model Jeep Grand Cherokee and my Chevy Silverado (A GM vehicle) has them. Terrible on Cadillac and a safety concern. No moon roof and no cooled seats for this model either. Overall, I feel this vehicle is overpriced for the lack of common options. If they were included, the vehicle would be a 9 out of 10.

Vehicle left us stranded 100+ miles away from the rental agency and 400+ miles from our destination with no service centers nearby. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Still a plastic wrapped Tahoe for 50k more. Nothing works well. The ride is awful. Absolutely awful. Even on the softest setting, you’ll be bouncing all over the road. You’ll feel every pebble and crack. Your passenger will complain. The seats are uncomfortable. The hvac is terrible and unpredictable. You’ll forever be searching for the source of cold/hot blowing air. The range is under 300miles. The plastic body parts wiggle and jiggle as you drive. The engine sounds like it’s from the 80’s. The “high end” sound system is mediocre at best. The back seats look like they are from a base level Tahoe. The wind noise is unbearable. The technology was clearly implemented by a 85 year old engineer who “didn’t have cameras on any of my Caddy’s”. You have to go to eBay to find compatible flash drive cards from 2008 and then find an old windows PC to format them. The app is slow and goofy and rarely works. The map software is antiquated - but required to be used for the fancy augmented reality feature (doesn’t work with Google or Apple Maps). Headlights are hated by all other drivers. The auto headlights are too slow to switch on/off. The solar glass is fake - you’ll want ceramic tint even if clear. Even the blinker makes a sound straight from a 1984 K car. The dealers are awful and usually have Cadillac as an afterthought. Ours told us that we should have bought two Tahoe level vehicles instead of a platinum Escalade. Things I like? The fold flat floor. If you’ve ever driven a Mercedes, BMW or comparable vehicle- then you will hate every minute of being in this vehicle. It is fake luxury in every way. The chrome peels. The wood is plastic. The panel gaps are huge. If you are upgrading from a Yukon or a caprice wagon, then this may feel like the cat’s meow - until you wife one day says, “I kind of exit to be smoother”
