2015 Cadillac Escalade ESV - Autos.ca
Regardless of whether you believe a flagship needs to be the biggest, baddest or most expensive vehicle in a manufacturer’s line up, the Escalade has it covered for Cadillac. With a dearer cost of entry, the most cubic inches from its engine and the most imposing grille, this is the highest-rolling Caddy you can buy. The crest-and-laurel company’s top ticket machine is all-new for 2015. As in past generations, the Escalade borrows extensively from its lower-brow cousins, the Tahoe, Suburban and Yukon, all of which have also undergone massive re-dos this year. The rear doors have been reshaped and reconfigured to enable much easier passenger ingress and egress both to second and third row seating positions. Cadillac installed power operated, fold-flat rear seating that takes up a bit more space than last year’s seating arrangement. This means the new Escalade ESV is slightly less capacious than it was before, but that’s rather like saying the Sahara is slightly smaller now after some dust blew away in the last sand storm. The reality is, when the power tailgate is opened, the cargo capacity behind the third row of seating is larger than most mid-sized SUVs can hope to deliver. Source: www.autos.ca
