Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! KZfaq's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we'll take an up close and personal, in depth look at the 2012 Cadillac Escalade Platinum Collection.
MSRP pricing for the Escalade, before options start at:
Base: $63,170
Luxury: $67,395
Premium: $71,675
Platinum: $79,945
During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth educational videos of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of KZfaq!

Just found one exactly this model 2012 ESV Platinum black. 1 owner, retired, kept at their vacation home. 42k miles!!! Looks and feels like it came right from the factory in Dallas Texas. Bought it for 35k I’m in heaven. The most luxurious thing I’ve ever felt. And it’s a beast on the road! That engine and exhaust purrs! We wanted this generation model because there is nothing like this design. It gets far more attention on the road than the newer generation. FAR more. We looked for a very long time and glad we held out until we found this baby ✌️

I just recently brought the ESV it's a beautiful truck and actually fun to drive. The gas mileage was a little excessive to me when I first got it so I used my hypertech tuner to change the fuel curve and I adjusted for the 26's I've put on it and I noticed a better gas mileage in the first week. I know many people don't like sound systems but it's at the shop now having 4 12's and improved mids/highs put in it. Sounds crazy to buy a 80k truck and put 14k worth of rims and sound in it. I luv it

Better than the new model. The ride quality of the new model is that of a dump truck. This one rides like a cloud and has a more elegant look as opposed to the space aged look of the new unit.

I WILL NEVER OWN ANYTHING ELSE. I have put 120k miles in 14 months on my 2009 platinum, its been in 7 accidents, sunk to the bottom of a lake TWICE, hydrolocked the engine, rolled over once, and I use it for drag racing (as evidenced by the vids on my channel) as well as AUTOCROSS and sand racing, and it routinely goes offroad. I once didn't realize my oil filter was loose before a racing/ tug of war competition, and it started kncoking very badly. I still won the competition! It only had 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL, OUT OF 6!!!! I couldn't believe it still ran, and the knocking NEVER came back after I added oil. Guess what? NOT A SINGLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AT ALL!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe this car, it is the most reliable car I've ever owned, and has needed 40 dollars worth of repair because the exhaust flex pipe gasket rotted. NO rebuilds, NOTHING. I don't even believe it myself, so I dont expect others too lol

For 25k and still with that brand new smell with replaced leather seats and a dvd systen installed its one of the best buys yet. Sure it doesnt have remote start. Hell my 03 explorer i traded had more features than the new durango but I missed that new car smell. And i dont loose as much buying an almost new car

At first, I was getting a bit confused when he was saying previous models -- I was thinking the last generation Escalade, which were the 2002-2006 generations -- but he is referring to the previous years of the 2007-2014 Escalades. And for the record, the 2007 Cadillac Escalade and 2014 Escalade base and luxury trims both came with harden materials in the bottom portion of the doors (as he was mentioning -- not only in the previous models but in the 2014 too, premium trim as well, except for the platinum models, which is a high-end Escalade for Cadillac and offer pretty much the best of the best in interior quality, and cost a cool penny.

People love to hate. I find this to be a great SUV. Everyone has their own tastes of course but I don't think that calling this Escalade garbage is proper. And some complain that it hasn't changed much which is true to some degree, but the range rover hasn't made THAT much of a change either. In the end I find them to be 2 of the best SUVs on the market.
