Three Things to Know About the 2021 Cadillac Escalade

Completely redesigned this year, the 2021 Cadillac Escalade takes everything buyers and owners love about the Cadillac Escalade and improve upon those features. This is by far the most luxurious, refined, technologically advanced, and comfortable Escalade ever, not to mention the most spacious. That’s certainly saying something. Here are three things to know about the 2021 Cadillac Escalade.

A New Duramax Diesel Engine

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade is offered with a powerful 6.2-litre V8 that delivers 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic that provides linear accelerations and smooth, imperceptible gear changes. This engine gives Escalade owners the very best of the performance and luxury world, offering brisk accelerations when needed, and being refined when cruising. 

That said, the Cadillac Escalade adds an extra powertrain this year, a 3.0-litre Duramax diesel that delivers 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This engine offers as much torque as the V8, but with better efficiency. 

The Cadillac Escalade can tow up to 7,500 pounds.

More Luxury Inside

The Cadillac Escalade has always been about luxury, but this new generation takes it one step further. The interior is dominated by a 38-inch OLED digital display, the largest in the industry, that houses three distinct but integrated screens. These screens are stunning to see, and they are useful when driving. 

It Drives Better Than Ever

To experience the stunning quality of the new Escalade, one has to drive it. That’s where we see the biggest change between this new generation and the previous generation. The refinement is so much better, the comfort is so much more noticeable, and the Escalade is so much quieter. A new design and improved platform mean a less bumpy, truck-like ride, and a more enjoyable experience overall.
