The 2019 Cadillac Escalade ranked #8 in Luxury Large SUVs. Currently the Cadillac Escalade has a score of 7.4 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 28 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Robust, smooth powertrain
ESV model has lots of passenger and cargo space

Cons
Infotainment interface can be sluggish and complicated
Rivals have cushier rides
Confined third-row seat in standard-length model
Small cargo area behind rearmost seats in standard-length model

Only minor changes for 2019.The 2019 Cadillac Escalade is a full-size luxury SUV that has a lot of capability and creature comforts, along with a few drawbacks. Its pricing is defined by four trim levels, of which any can be paired with four-wheel drive. Most of the available options are offered as stand-alone options rather than being part of packages.

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

The 2019 Cadillac Escalade can hold its own against more modern designs in many ways even if it’s definitely showing its age.

Pros
Strong V-8 power
Comfortable seats
Confident towing ability
Good ride quality

Cons
Doesn’t hide its truck roots well
Guzzles premium unleaded
Gauche style not for all
Eye-opening price

After a brief hiatus, the Audi RS7 is back and all new for 2020. Now incorporating Sportback into its name, the second-gen RS7 receives more distinctive styling inside and out along with even greater technology and increased power.

Pros
Aggressive appearance, tantalizing performance attributes, hatchback's added versatility.

Cons
Too expensive for most enthusiasts, same infotainment foibles as regular A7.

By:

Among enthusiasts and car spotters, it's got hero status - now there's an all-new Audi RS7. It's faster, considerably meaner, and a bit greener too.

Pros
Lower and way more aggressive design that shares only four parts with A7
Huge 800Nm and its relentless all the way to 300km/h
Sublime comfort and ride with a beautifully poised chassis
Body roll is kept in check by both air suspension and dynamic ride control, high tech and superb materials quality
Properly fuel efficient
Super-smooth gearbox
Awesome noise

Cons
Seems its design can be polarising to some
Surely it can accelerate faster than the claim?
Pricing is likely to be steep

The Audi RS7 Sportback is an incredibly fast four-door coupe that'll give some supercars a run for their money. It looks great inside too, but alternatives are more involving to drive.

Pros
Gorgeous interior
Phenomenally fast
Bigger boot than alternatives

Cons
Expensive optional extras
Not particularly involving to drive
RS6 Avant is cheaper and more practical
