The Escalade can seat up to eight people and comes in four models: the Escalade, Escalade ESV (an extended wheelbase version), the Escalade EXT (which trades the third row seat and enclosed cargo area for a short truck bed) and the Escalade Hybrid. We review the Escalade EXT and the Escalade Hybrid separately. For 2011, The Escalade gets an updated, available navigation system, which reviewers say is an improvement over the old one.
The Cadillac Escalade comes with GM's 10-year/100,000-mile transferable powertrain warranty, which matches the warranty of many imports and is longer than what most luxury SUVs offer. However, the Escalade’s status as a favorite among car thieves may give some buyers pause. Read More
When it comes to style, you can’t beat the Escalade, but the newly-redesigned Infiniti QX56, offers performance that’s easier to live with day-to-day and an interior that’s even more plush. The QX even starts at about $5,000 less than the Caddy does, which leaves more cash in your pocket for optional features.
While the Escalade has one of the nicest interiors in the class, it loses points for its third-row seats, which are uncomfortable and have to be removed to enlarge the cargo space – and the third-row seats are heavy.  While cramped third rows are typical for the class, if you need a comfortable third row that can handle adults, check out the Lincoln Navigator.  It has a lower base price than the Escalade and is one of the few SUVs that actually gets praise for its third row.  The Navigator’s third row even folds into the SUV’s floor, making enlarging the cargo area a breeze.
