Cars com helped me find and locate my vehicle.

This SUV is perfect for family trips, plus it has plenty of leg room and space for luggage. I love the interior for comfort and the entertainment for passengers.

awesome vehicle

The interior is like a space ship! The interior leather is just the color I was looking for. It is so smooth riding and quiet!

2016 CADILLAC ESCALADE PLATINUM

HEATED SEATS ARE A JOKE DON'T EVEN GET LUKE WARM, DEALER SAYS THAT'S JUST THE WAY THEY ARE, FOR $100K THEY SHOULD WORK. I WENT ON INTERNET EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE 2015 WHEN SOME DUMB xxx ENGINEER DECIDED TO CHANGE TEMPERATURE CONTROL, IT'S BEEN THE SAME FOR ALL THE YEARS EVEN THE 2019'S, WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN FIXED?

Great vehicle to own and drive.

Great car to own and have for traveling. It drives better than any car I have ever driven. Smooth ride, it hangs close to the road, and it is quiet.

Most comfortable big SUV I ever drove

It is a good luxury SUV, very comfortable, especially for family. Nice design interior and outside. The only thing I don't like is that it uses a lot of oil

Worst Escalade Ever Owned!

Cannot wait to get rid of this Vehicle. Rides very hard, Transmission Rough. Lousy Vehicle for $100,000 when I do find an out it will not be Cadillac until they get there product right. After all an 8 Speed Transmission in 2016/2017 then a 10 Speed in 2018 do to the Problems with the 8 Speed. I should not have to endure there in errors in judgement for my Large Investment!!

2016 Escalade = Fun Times

This is my fourth Escalade, and by far this is the most impressed I have been with any of them. This truck handles like a dream, such a smooth ride, I am looking forward to taking some long distance drives to tour the country.... something I haven't done in years. And.. the Power!!! they have fine tuned this corvette engine to react quicker than the previous years! I love the interior design and the heads up display and the dashboard cluster is easy to navigate. and the smart assist for cruise control, makes driving easier...
