Cadillac lightly updated the Escalade for 2020 with only a smattering of changes. Along with a new Dark Mocha metallic paint color, which costs extra, the lineup adds a new appearance package called the Sport Edition. The get-up is only available in Red Passion, Satin Steel, and Black Rave. However, that unlocks gloss-black trim to the front end, around the side windows, and on the rear. While we've glimpsed the interior of the next-gen model and spied a prototype testing, Cadillac hasn't officially revealed the upcoming 2021 Escalade.
Pros Everyone recognizes an Escalade, lots of standard luxuries, notable tow ratings.
Cons Rides like less-refined SUVs, interior isn't truly luxurious, meager fuel-economy estimates.
The 2020 Cadillac Escalade comes with rear wheel drive, and four wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 10-speed shiftable automatic.Last year's dual-screen rear entertainment system has been discontinued
PROS Strong V8 engine is never at a loss for power Robust towing capacity Cabin remains quiet regardless of road conditions
CONS Less refined ride and seat comfort than other luxury SUVs Low handling limits and heavy steering High, uneven cargo floor makes loading objects difficult
