Full Inspection: The Massive 2015 Cadillac Escalade ESV - The Car Guide

Looking to attract a younger and more dynamic group of buyers, Cadillac is breathing new life into its lineup. We recently inspected Cadillac’s most recent vehicle, the 2015 Escalade ESV, and the exercise allowed us to see just how serious the American automaker is about refreshing its products. Even though it measures 5. 7 metres long, this stretched Escalade looks rather svelte and dynamic thanks to a number of components designed to give the impression of lightness. Combined, these features make the vehicle look long and athletic. The long tail lights, sizeable tires and retractable steps are all very expensive to replace or repair. But we figure that anyone who can afford a $100,000 vehicle can also afford the routine maintenance for it, right.

Under the Escalade, no one was. Source: www.guideautoweb.com
