Who is ‘launching’ this thing,

With 682hp and AWD, I'll be the record holder at my local Starbucks drive-thru for the fastest window to window time!

There is such a thing as the ultimate trophy wife vehicle, I suppose.

The shifts and the sound of the motor, wow! If you're looking to start a family, this is a good reason to do so

Man those upshifts sound just godly. My T levels are rising just listening to it.

The connections that SG has made with GM have hugely benefited these videos. I love the engineering segments!

This truck has put a giant smile on the face of every single reviewer I've watched driving it, and I'd say that's a huge part of what cars like the V-series Cadillacs/AMGs/M cars etc. are all about

The Escalade V is insane and excessive, but I can’t help but like it.

Cadillac: The CT5 V Blackwing will be our final ICE vehicle as we switch to full electricity by 2030. Also Cadillac: 8 MPG Escalade V

My gosh. The noise this mammoth SUV makes is intoxicating. I could listen to it all day. You guys looked like you were having fun. If I had that kind of money, I'd bite.

Epic exhaust note but Jack's laughter is still one of the best sounds on the internet

But what’s the 0-60 while towing a Pottery Barn Special Edition Airstream?

Those shifts are crisp! Utterly ridiculous vehicle, but done well

Dang, those shifts and exhaust note!!! Awesome job Cadillac!

Great for McMansion renovation hobbiests zipping between happy hour and Home Depot. Would love to see a snow tire-equipped, driven on snow test of some modern high performance vehicles.

Mark, " I don't understand the point" and then smiling like a stoner who just scored an ounce of "Acapulco gold". The point taken. Loved the sound, and your drive.

I couldn’t agree more on your take. I’ve wanted them to build an Escalade V for so long. Now that they have, I’m stuck wondering “why”. GM & “Murica”. That’s why. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣 I’d much prefer a 3.0l duramax. You guys made me nervous taking the king-sized bed set around those corners!

Bash it all you guys want, but those giggles and ear-to-ear grins just don't lie.

Jack got me at Scrooge McDuck 😂. Amazing review. I love this thing, I’d only get it in a “Long boy” spec all blacked out .

In 20 years we're going to look back on this car and be like "Those were the days"

That sound is GLORIOUS!

I am fully convinced this red is the best paint on this thing

GM engineers are wonderfully open to talking, and seemingly really good at talking for a less-technical audience. Every time they agree to come on, they've benefitted the video.

That intro was PHENOMENAL!

I love the title of the video more than anything else right now.

The Cadillac Escalade V. Made expressly for either the strip club or coffee house parking lot. A vehicle to fit all lifestyles.

Your faces whenever the right foot hits the floor…look at those smiles!😂. 10:10

Super Cruise was NOT available for the first batch of these being made. Every one built after October 2 will be coming with Super Cruise. All supplies went into the Lyriq launch in May. That's why I waited until that restriction was lifted especially at its price point. The only thing 100% discontinued for the remaining 23 models is the adaptive headlamp system. I was able to secure an order for one at msrp and with my trade in on an older model Escalade that I was offered, I said fuck it let's do it. If I couldn't land one at msrp, no way would I be buying this. Mark ups I got through roughly 10 dealerships ranged from 60-100k. The ones selling at msrp, their lists are massive and one of the biggest dealerships in my area said at least a 4 year wait(130+ waitlist). Every single reviewer I've seen cover this car, when driving have a huge smile on their faces. This is my obnoxious send off to ICE. I'll be getting 7 mpg the way I'll be driving mine probably but fuck it, life is short, enjoy it while you can.

I've got my Powerball ticket for tomorrow's drawing and I'm fucking buying one of these when I win

If a $180k car doesn’t make you smile every time you drive it, it’s not worth $180k. And given that fact, I get the entire point of the Escalade V. It might actually justify the cost of entry

Thank you guys so much for your video I always appreciate it ! Black on black Escalade V with some big black wheels.. nicest most inspired car on the street !

01:22. My GAAAWWWWWD that dash looks amazing! What an enchanting place to chill during a nice long road trip!

It’s amazing the Cadillac always has been heavy. This is the power that it needs. I absolutely love it.

The shifts are incredible.

This car makes me smile. It seems like there’s a lot of passion behind it. It’s totally unnecessary, yet in the days where people cry “climate emergency”, it’s extremely refreshing! A car for enjoyment.

I've driven both the 2022 & 2023 Escalades for extended distances & have been a passenger in all areas of them - they are by far my favorite large SUV. I've driven the CT5 Blackwing as well (manual) and it's in my top 5 all time favorite cars I've driven (blows the Hellcats away BY FAR!!). I'm super excited to drive this & I love they built this. I hear the 392 Durango's all the time and they are louder than this Escalade V - but the Durango's are BEYOND obnoxiously loud to the point where it doesn't even sound good - at least those that harass our local town....

This is where I’m glad the channel is not just Mark. The reason for the existence of this beast is self evident. It’s awesome.

can't wait to see livery plates on it and be driven to the airport in one of these. At least I will be confident I won't miss my flight.

This thing is hilarious! Loved the driving portion!!

Great video. Thanks for putting out such interesting content.

The definition of a BEAST.

I think I can record this engine sound and listen over and over. Its just so thrilling. No EV can give you such satisfaction. Oh yes EVs can put funny fake engine noise.

I'm still ASTONISHED you guys manage to film vehicles like this on the backroads where there are farms / houses close by (not suburban but still..) and not have people coming at you with pitchforks and yelling at you to slow down 😂 😂this car sounds like a nascar lmfao 😂 edit : Also didn't know that you drove a X7 now! Time to do a update video! Thought you drive the Xc90 still ;)

Those gear shifts are insanely fast for what it is.

You and 5 of your closest friends are taking a road trip to Vegas for a bachelor party. Escalade V

Say what you want about it, but very few cars have made them laugh like that

This video is it. Thank you Cadillac.

this was the most hilarious review of yours that I've watched in a long time

So glad this vehicle sound exists to set a standard for future societies

The answer why they did this is because they can and people will buy it.

That thing sounds positively awesome

It sounds insane!!

honestly, I think supercruise is by far the most compelling feature of these (or regular escalades). Like something that the competitors do not fully match. I would be pulling chips from anything I could to use for these.

One of the all time great cars

Hands down the best video review I have seen so far of the Escalade V. Thanks for the video it was very informative. Are you guys planning on doing a review of the 2023 BMW X7 M60i?

I have got to subscribe !

The sound and shifts are next level! Too bad it won’t drift 😂

Man! I sure hope I get to experience this beast, while out and about! Yay ya!

I was 🤣 on the floor. This thing is funny as hell.

Love the hoodie message 👍

I’ve got a 2018 Camaro SS with the 8 speed automatic and it shifts like this 10 speed Escalade V. And every time I hear that pop in my Camaro, it makes me laugh and smile so hard. I’m glad to see that if I was rich enough I could get the same experience in a family hauler 😂

What a beast!

There are a lot of things I could do with $150k... 😅 First thing I thought after hearing the sticker price.

I love you guys!!! I have another vid to watch my breakfast to

My brother the father of my kids would love one of these..

Solid Gold !😆😆

I love it!

Wow!!! Mom I want one !!

This is all I wanted to see 9:00. All we need is Mark in a ridiculously silly beast. Joy 🙏🙏🙏

Exhaust sounds sickkkkkk

I love the sounds of those shifts. Congress needs to pass a law that all shifts have to sound like this.

Cadillac going out with a bang. I love it.

This is the most logical purchase.

Really nice Car it’s exactly WE WANT 🇺🇸

That driving impression was hilarious.

The reggae music in this one was amazing. Props to you guys if you produced it yourselves, but I'm sure you mixed at least a little bit too.

Getting “head shakes” and “middle fingers” 😂😂😂

Yeah, the engineer who tuned the Escalade V exhaust deserves the gold medal for obnoxiousness. Truly world class levels of giving an auditory middle finger to the world. Just practice saying, "But officer it's stock!"

Damn thing sound amazing!

Love the music choice in this one. Reminds me of the airport scene in The Fifth Element with the guys frying the rats out of the landing gear

I want this Cadillac Escalade V asap.............Nuff said.

Cadillac just built my dream machine lol .... forget supercars.... this thing can fit your entire family in comfort and fulfill your acceleration and sound dreams.

I'll pick mine up in Texas, thanks...

That shifts so damn good.

Definitely buying this as soon as I win the lottery twice. Once for the escalade and a second time for the gas

As a European having lots of narrow roads and parking spots that feel to small for compacts I would hate this as a daily, but I would love to have it for the fun weekend stuff and just the crazy of it.

It’s perfect

This thing is amazing. Tuned perfectly. Not MPG friendly. 😂

You seem to have forgotten the popularity of the Hellcat, which has the same performance profile as this thing - it's fast in a straight line. BUT this Escalade can haul 7 people COMFORTABLY while towing a camper or boat and then have a FUN time (fast) at the destination. This vehicle seems like it would fit perfectly next to anyone who even considered buying the Hellcat.

I added a "V" badge on my wife. She was not thrilled...

Nice Beast

I better prepare a cigar and glass of cognac now for that Cayenne GT video. Love the geese talking about coupe suvs

I have a very limited time for my home improvement projects on the weekend. I need to get to Lowes and home with a load of bagged concrete as fast as possible. The Escalade V is the only vehicle I trust to save my weekend in time to get back to my day job as branch manager of Buckhead Chase.

This is peak cars

This is going to be worth its weight in gold in years to come. It's a dying breed.

I want one!

Hah! at 9:15 "OOOOHHHH!!!!! CORNER!!!!!" Lol

You had me at the title lmao

this building is exciting! Could you do a video about AMG G-63 please? And you'll give us a spree of top luxury SUVs

I have a 22 Camaro SS 1LE and it's overrun is just as crazy, if not even crazier. It's so much fun, so much. You guys need a Camaro SS 1LE to review. Though it's not the time of year to review one, but you will see it is the best sports car, best track car for the money, period. The sound, the power, the suspension, brakes, the feel of the whole driving experience... it is one of the BEST cars GM has ever created for the money.
