Is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V a BETTER performance SUV than a Mercedes AMG GLS 63?

This will be the LAST Escalade to receive a V8 engine as Cadillac moves forward with electrification. On the outside of the Escalade-V you will find 22in wheels, electric dropping running boards and quad-tip exhaust. On the inside you will be greeted by an upgraded leather interior and 38 inches of OLED screen. Under the hood is a 6.2L supercharged V8 churning put 682HP & mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V a BETTER performance SUV than a Mercedes AMG GLS 63?

First off, the EV version isn't nearly as big inside. They don't have an extra long version. I have a few friends that drive the larger Escalade or equivalent and they saw the ESCALADE IQ and they weren't impressed due to the lack of room and no longer version offered.

One thing you can ALWAYS say about GM. They ruined their brand in the 80s-90s, but they NEVER lost their top quality engineering. When they get the budget they put out some of the best vehicles in history. Just look at C5-C8 Z06. Look at the recent gen Camaros (RIP). Look at the Caddy’s; best super sedans ever made. Now they are starting to make quality interiors there are minimal reasons not to get a GM vehicle. Sorry this, to me, is so much better than a GLS 63, G 63 or XB7. I get why people like those, but this thing gets your adrenaline going EVERY way.

Used to have a 2012 CTS-V, great car as far as the engine and suspension went, but upgrading to an AMG is a night and day difference. Mercedes does not lack on ANY part of their cars, and it shows in the details. Overpaying massively for what you get with this car, when it hits the $75k it will be justified with all the cheap plastics
