The 2020 Cullinan can now be ordered with leather to match its optional Viewing Suite and all-new Sanctuary Seats. These upgraded rear thrones add extra padding and a power-adjustable calf rest on the right rear seat. Although these options sound as if they're from some Feng Shui theater, just remember that Rolls-Royce customers prefer to be pampered on another level.
Pros The epitome of wealth, incomparable interior comfort, quick and quiet operation.
Cons The epitome of too expensive, awkward outward appearance, missing some back-seat features.
It's not just a blacked-out exterior design package. The Black Badge Cullinan offers more style and more substance.
Pros Has every luxury feature you could ever want Smooth, powerful V12 engine Great to drive, better to be driven in Black Badge styling is subtle and chic
Cons Clunky infotainment tech without Apple CarPlay or Android Auto I can't afford one
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
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
