Ambition on a grand scale. A beautifully crafted balance of sophistication, functionality and technology, the 2017 Cadillac Escalade was designed to exceed every expectation of what an SUV can do. With unmatched exterior style, interior comforts and a powerful standard V8 engine, nothing compares to the Escalade.
Your arrival becomes an event with the Radiant Package for Escalade. Featuring a stylish grille in Galvano and Silver mesh, a highly-polished exhaust tip, and 22-inch, 7-split-spoke chrome wheels, it makes a strong statement. The Radiant Package is available on all trim levels except Platinum.
Beauty, Meet Brawn.
As smart as it is powerful. The Escalade combines dynamic performance and poised handling with a surprising fuel economy. The 6.2L 420-hp V8 engine is paired with an intelligent 8-speed automatic transmission that moves between gears smoothly. And engine technologies like Continuous Variable Valve Timing, multi-port Direct Injection and Active Fuel Management ensure that 460 lb-ft of torque are harnessed with efficiency.
4WD Drive Strength…
Power when you need it most. Available 4-Wheel Drive allows you to move smoothly between driving modes as conditions change. AUTO mode switches seamlessly between 2WD and 4WD for everyday driving. Or, you can opt for a 4 HI mode to maintain traction during challenging road conditions, or a 4 LOW mode when trailering.
Stabilitrak
Steady as you go. In snow, gravel or rain, Stabilitrak automatically applies the brakes and reduces engine torque to help keep you firmly in control.
Everything you need, exactly where you want it. Surround yourself with sophistication and innovation. The Escalade interior, complete with cut-and-sewn stitching, hand-finished design touches and available semi-aniline leather, is crafted with care reminiscent of fine tailoring. Indulgent comforts like available massaging front seats make every ride more pleasurable. And with acoustic front glass, triple-sealed inset doors and Bose Active Noise Cancellation, the cabin is incredibly quiet and remarkably serene.
Power-folding third row seats. More space in mere seconds. With the touch of a button, the Power-Folding Third Row Seats disappear to yield up to 121 cubic feet of cargo space.
Head-up display. Stay focused and informed. The four-color Head-Up Display (HUD) projects selected information onto the front windshield, allowing you to keep your eyes safely on the road.
Climate controlled seats. Comfort in any weather. With two rows of heated seats to warm you and your passengers on cold days, winter is no match for the 2017 Escalade. And when the temperature rises, cooled front seats keep the driver and front passenger feeling refreshed.
16-speaker bose® centerpoint® surround sound system. Envelop yourself in sound. Acoustic front glass, triple-sealed inset doors and Bose Active Noise Cancellation work to create the Escalade’s extraordinarily quiet interior while the 16-Speaker Bose® Surround Sound System makes use of 16 strategically placed speakers to play your favorite music with crystal clarity.
Reconfigurable gauge display. Personalize your control panel. The Reconfigurable 12.3” LCD Gauge Cluster lets you choose how you want to see vehicle, entertainment, communications and navigation information.
Even more interior space. More room for what matters. The Escalade ESV offers larger doors, more cargo capacity, and additional interior legroom to comfortably accommodate up to eight passengers.
