Is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade V the KING of luxury performance SUVs?

The Escalade-V is doing things it's own way and Cadillac is still bringing the firepower for 2023. The most unique aspect of this full size SUV is the 6.2L supercharged V8 that is under the hood. Also, you get magnetic ride suspension, GM performance exhaust and 38 inches of screen size. Is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade V the KING of luxury performance SUVs?

Hey Raiti’s Rides, love the review, but recently there have been a lot of up and down camera jitters when moving around the vehicle and especially when entering the passenger seats. I think you can fix it in software if it was caused by the gimbal, and it will definitely improve the viewing experience. Cheers

I've loved the various evolutions of the Escalade for years. Everything about this beast is attractive to me... except the gas mileage. If you live here in California, it will cost you a small fortune to gas this up since the nationwide gas stations are charging $6+/gal for premium. However, I suspect that most Escalade V owners don't worry about those kinds of things, or do they?

@tpolerex7282 9 ай бұрын

My neighbor here In California owns one of these, along with an AMG G 63 for the wife - to take the young daughters to private school - and a AMG S 63 for good measure, there is a whole lotta gas guzzling going on and rumbling of V8’s regardless of the ride chosen. He owns a small military airline and a ‘60 yacht, definitely NOT worried about gas prices lol. Funny thing is he barely has a one car carport and no driveway or garage.

One thing people don't realize about OLED is that it suffers from burn-in. So in 10 years that screen will have some ghosting. Regular LED may not be as bright, but it does outlast OLED. A gigantic monster car, and the self-driving software at the moment is the best available. The ability to cruise down the freeway without keeping your hands on the wheel would be very nice. An absolute monster vehicle.

Nice. A question I have been struggling to find the answer to, maybe you know the answer? It's more about the regular Escalade Sport Platinum than the Escalade V, but could apply to both: The GMC Yukon Denali and Yukon AT4 both advertise having "Active Response 4 wheel drive", while the Escalade does not advertise having that, though all do or can have 2H, 4H, 4L and Auto, But since they are all GM, and the same base vehicle, do you know, does the Escalade have that same active response 4 wheel drive functionality/capability but perhaps just doesn't call it that due to being Cadillac and not GMC? And if not, might that cause the Escalade to not handle the bad snowstorms quite as well? Thanks.
