Completely revamped inside-out, the 2021 Cadillac Escalade is here to turn every journey into a luxury experience and one that you look forward to. From confident performance with advanced chassis technologies, a more spacious interior and leading driver-assistance technologies, this luxury SUV is for those who want to move and be moved in style giving drivers a sense of power and enhanced driving experience you can only get from driving the Escalade.
More space for greater comfort
The all-new 2021 Escalade elevates the standards of luxury and comfort in its segment, and makes every seat onboard, the best seat in the house. Building on decades of Cadillac craftsmanship, its new design, architecture and new chassis technologies have significantly expanded its interior space. In fact, the fifth edition is the biggest Escalade ever and offers significantly more room for passengers and their cargo offering 40 percent more third-row legroom (34.9 inches / 886 mm), 68 percent increase in maximum cargo space behind the third row (25.5 cubic feet / 722 liters) in the standard-length model. The Escalade ESV is now the best in class for cargo space behind the first, second and third rows.
The power to move you
When it comes to performance, the 2021 Escalade does not compromise. The model is powered with a new 6.2L V-8 engine, with variable valve timing, stop/start and Dynamic Fuel Management technologies for a smoother ride than ever before. The engine is matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission with electronic shift control and a trailering package is standard on all models. Additionally, the SUV balances performance — 420 hp (313 kW) — with comparative efficiency, giving drivers the confidence they need when on the road whether they are driving on a highway, off-road or trailering.
Precise driving experience
The 2021 Escalade driver’s confidence is further boosted by advanced chassis technologies intended to deliver a responsive, precise driving experience that offers exceptional isolation from the road and makes the journey all the more pleasurable.
For example, the all-new Independent Rear Suspension in the 2021 Escalade allows each rear wheel to handle road conditions separately, steering responsiveness and overall driver control and significantly enhancing the ride quality and reducing noise and vibration. On that front, the available electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD) offers more precise traction and power engagement for the rear wheels, maximizing traction and giving the driver a firm grip on the road for even more control.
When it comes to setting benchmarks in its segment, the 2021 Cadillac Escalade is the only luxury SUV that offers Magnetic Ride Control. Cadillac’s signature Magnetic Ride Control is the world’s fastest reacting suspension technology – reading the road 1,000 times per second and alter the damping rate of the shocks almost instantly to reduce vertical body motion, body roll and vibrations that can often resonate in a large SUV, thus making your drive responsive and smooth.
Combined with the Magnetic Ride Control, the new Air Ride Adaptive Suspension on the Escalade is composed of electronically controlled air springs delivering automatic load-leveling and ride-height adjustments helping elevate the isolation and smoothness of the ride.
