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

By:

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 2020 Chevrolet Suburban ranked #3 in Large SUVs. Currently the Chevrolet Suburban has a score of 7.6 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 27 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Two potent V8 engine choices
Upscale interior
Cavernous cargo space
User-friendly features

Cons
So-so third-row space
Harsh ride over uneven pavement

By: 
usnews.com

The 2020 Suburban offers great tow capacity and a muscular optional V-8 to make it a comfortable beast of burden with room for a Little League team. It can be fitted with a package that gives it some decent off-road chops or dressed up almost like a luxury SUV—at which point it is priced like one. It's definitely not made for tight parking lots, however, nor for passing by gas stations.

Pros
Good tow capacity, muscular optional V-8, cavernous interior.

Cons
A handful to park, expensive to fuel, it's easy to balloon the sticker price.

By: 
caranddriver.com

The 2020 Chevrolet Suburban comes with four wheel drive, and rear wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 6-speed shiftable automatic. Performance package includes a 6.2-liter V8 plus extra technology features.Minor revisions to feature availability.

Pros
Seating for up to nine passengers
Sizable cargo capacity
Strong V8 engines tow and haul plenty of cargo

Cons
Maneuvering tight spaces is tricky due to its large size
Difficult to load items because of high cargo floor
Lazy throttle response makes the 5.3-liter V8 feel underpowered
