Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2020 Cadillac Escalade is ripe for a redesign, so check out rivals before making a call.

Pros
In-your-face design
V-8 thrust
Comfortable interior
Good towing ability

Cons
Ride not as composed as rivals
Curiously cramped for passengers
So, so thirsty
Too in-your-face for most

By:

Fully redesigned for 2021.More interior space, especially for rear passengers.New driver aids, including Cadillac's Super Cruise.

Pros
An extensive suite of standard and optional driver safety aids
Optional diesel engine a class-exclusive
Significantly more interior space than outgoing model
New interior design is among best in the class

Cons
Lacks off-road prowess of some rivals
Large footprint makes it difficult to park

From its massive displays to its independent rear suspension, Cadillac's redesigned Escalade is a supersized icon of luxurious extravagance.

Pros
All the tech bits GM offers,
lovely interior,
status ensured.

Cons
Look-at-me styling,
overly aggressive stability control,
a loaded Suburban or Yukon XL is a far better deal.

The 2021 Suburban introduces an all-new generation that features significant improvements. The most notable update is the SUV's first-ever independent rear suspension. This allows much better interior packaging that frees up room in the cargo area and third row. The Suburban is also longer than before and outfitted with more technology than ever. This includes first-time equipment such as an air suspension and a downsized Duramax diesel engine.
