The Cadillac Escalade competes quite nicely with Lincoln Navigator, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, and Mercedes GLS Class. Having driven each of the aforementioned vehicles, I have the Escalade winning best quality by a nose.
Escalade is powered by a 420-horsepower supercharged 6.2L V8 engine coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission with standard all-wheel drive. Dynamic Fuel Management system can disable the cylinders down to just 2 active ones. This helps the Escalade to achieve 14 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway for a combined average of 16 mpg. Brembo performance brakes with red painted calipers provide stopping power while adding to the sporty ensemble. Escalade does 0-60 in just 5.9 seconds.
