When it’s time to purchase a new SUV, consider treating yourself to the Cadillac Escalade. Boasting an impressive redesign for the 2021 model year, this dependable yet luxurious SUV is better than ever before. Let’s explore what drivers can expect from the 2021 Escalade.
Exterior Redesign
The first thing you’ll notice about the 2021 Escalade is that it’s bigger and bolder than previous versions. The wheelbase is 4.9 inches longer, and the body is 7.1 inches longer. Cadillac also adds eye-catching exterior details like the Luxury model’s brand-new bright silver-finished 14-spoke wheels. If you enjoy the wind in your hair, you’ll love the Premium Luxury’s panoramic sunroof. Power assist steps make it easier for your entire crew to hop on board.
The Sport trim takes inspiration from race car designs and comes with a beautifully sculpted front fascia and bodyside molding. On the Premium Luxury Platinum, you’ll find an all-new Platinum Galvano grille and Dark Android-finished wheels with laser etching. Cadillac gives the top trim level, the Sport Platinum, an aggressive performance grille, sleek black accents, and a hands-free liftgate.
Innovative Interior
The 2021 Escalade’s interior is as impressive as its exterior. The cabin’s centerpiece is an all-new OLED display that spans the entire dashboard. Measuring 38 inches, the Escalade’s OLED display is the largest in the automotive industry. It’s also the only curved OLED display on the market. The display’s touchscreen control provides essential trip information without distracting you from the road, while the instrument cluster lets you reconfigure navigation, phone, and radio controls. The OLED display also features a 16.9-inch infotainment screen.
As you take advantage of the Escalade’s innovative technology, you can luxuriate in premium leather seating surfaces that come in colors like Brandy, Whisper Beige, and Dark Auburn. The Escalade’s lumbar-massaging seats are heated and ventilated, making every ride more enjoyable.
Thrilling Performance
You can always count on the Cadillac Escalade to deliver thrilling performance. The standard engine is a 420-horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8 that generates 460 pound-feet of torque. Active fuel management enables the Escalade to achieve a 20-mpg highway rating. For drivers who prefer diesel power, Cadillac offers a 277-horsepower, 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo Diesel that can put out 460 pound-feet of torque. Whether you stick with the gas engine or swap it out for the Duramax engine, your Escalade will have an 8,000-pound towing capacity. Both engines team up with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Intelligent Safety Features
Like every vehicle in the Cadillac lineup, the 2021 Escalade gives you the safety features you need to drive with confidence. The automatic emergency braking system can sense potential collisions and provide extra braking support in emergencies. Front pedestrian braking and a rear pedestrian alert will let you know when there’s a pedestrian in your path. You can count on automatic seat belt tightening to keep your most precious cargo safe and secure. If your Escalade starts to drift, lane-keep assist will help steer it back into place.
As you can see, there’s a lot to look forward to with the 2021 Cadillac Escalade. Take a test drive here at DeVoe Cadillac and see how this iconic SUV is better than ever.
