Cadillac Escalade 2021-present Specifications

The 2021-Present Cadillac Escalade offers two engine options: a 6.2L V8 engine producing 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, and a 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel inline-6 engine delivering 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The V8 provides robust acceleration and towing power, while the diesel engine offers improved fuel efficiency and low-end torque for better towing and hauling capabilities.

Both engine options are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, which provides smooth shifting, improved fuel efficiency, and optimized performance across a wide range of driving conditions.

The Escalade comes standard with features like Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and a Rear Vision Camera. Optional features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Night Vision, and Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking with pedestrian detection.

The 6.2L V8 engine achieves an EPA-estimated 14 mpg city and 19 mpg highway, while the 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine offers 21 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. These figures are competitive with other full-size luxury SUVs like the Lincoln Navigator and Mercedes-Benz GLS.

Cadillac recommends an oil change every 7,500 miles or 12 months for the V8 engine and every 10,000 miles or 12 months for the diesel engine. Regular maintenance includes tire rotation, brake inspection, and fluid checks at 7,500-mile intervals.

The Escalade features a 38-inch curved OLED display, AKG Studio Reference audio system, Magnetic Ride Control, and adaptive air suspension. Optional upgrades include Super Cruise hands-free driving, a rear-seat entertainment system, and a panoramic sunroof.

The Escalade offers 25.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, 63.1 cubic feet with the third row folded, and 121.1 cubic feet with both rear rows folded. This is comparable to the Lincoln Navigator and slightly larger than the Mercedes-Benz GLS.
