  What brand comes to mind when you think of luxury in the American automotive industry? If you answered Cadillac, then you’re right on the money, and Cadillac’s hard work over the last century hasn’t gone unnoticed. Since the 1900s, Cadillac has dedicated itself to building capable and sophisticated vehicles loaded with luxury features. That dedication is exactly what we find on the all-new 2021 Cadillac Escalade, which is not only luxurious but also promises to be the most technologically advanced Escalade ever built.

  Starting at $76,195,* the 2021 Escalade is remarkable across the entire lineup and is loaded with features from the Luxury base model to high-end trims like the Premium Luxury Platinum and the Sport Platinum. The Luxury is equipped with a premium 19-speaker sound system, 38 inches of curved OLED displays, and advanced safety and driver-assist tools like HD Surround Vision.

Now that’s luxurious!

• Performance

  

  Pretty and Powerful

  The 2021 Escalade is evidence that an SUV can offer exceptional power and capability without sacrificing luxury or sophistication. This capability comes from the all-new 6.2-liter V8 engine that’s standard across the lineup. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, the engine delivers 420 horsepower and features efficiency-driven technology like Dynamic Fuel Management and start-stop, the latter of which shuts off the engine when idling to reduce fuel usage and maximize efficiency. You can also equip the Escalade with a new Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Cadillac’s signature Magnetic Ride Control. Together, these tools deliver the Escalade’s smooth ride by constantly reading the road and adjusting the suspension as needed, or you can select the setting yourself depending on your driving needs.

  If you’re looking for even more capability, Cadillac offers yet another first on the luxury SUV - a diesel engine. You can maximize the Escalade’s towing capacity by opting for the 3.0-liter turbo diesel engine that delivers 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque and pushes the Escalade’s towing capacity up to 8,300 pounds. Since every Escalade trim is equipped with a standard trailering package, you’re already set to haul.

  Cadillac knows that confidence and safety are vital when towing heavy loads, which explains why the trailering package is standard on every Escalade. However, Cadillac delivers even more confidence with the available Trailering Integration Package. This package includes an integrated trailer brake controller that enhances stability and gives you more control over the trailer. It also includes a nine-camera system that makes it easier to hitch up to a trailer, as well as a trailer app that allows you to create various trailer profiles and monitor vital information like tire pressure. The package also comes with an Extended Side Blind Zone Alert that makes changing lanes with the trailer easier by alerting you to any traffic in the Escalade’s and the trailer’s blind spots.

• Luxury Features

  

  Whether you’re behind the wheel of the 2021 Escalade or riding as a passenger, the Cadillac is loaded with luxury features that make every trip enjoyable. These luxury features extend from innovative technology like the industry’s first OLED curved display and night vision to premium leather heated and ventilated seats that offer an in-seat massage. But that’s only the beginning of the Escalade’s luxury. Here’s a closer look at the top features you won’t want to miss.

  38 Inches of Display:

  The 2021 Escalade offers the industry’s first curved Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) screens that deliver clearer images than a 4K television. You’ll find this technology on the Escalade’s three screens, beginning with the 7.2-inch driver information center touchscreen display that sits to the driver’s left. The 14.2-inch cluster display is located behind the steering wheel, and the 16.9-inch infotainment screen sits in the center and is the hub of connectivity.

  AKG Audio Technology:

  The 2021 Escalade is full of firsts, and that includes the addition of AKG audio technology and the available 36-speaker AKG Studio Reference System. AKG is renowned in the music business for delivering exceptional audio, and that’s exactly why Cadillac teamed up with the company to deliver one of the best listening experiences available. The technology includes Studio 3D Surround for an immersive listening experience, Conversation Enhancement for improved communication in the cabin, Audio Rendering for Navigation that intuitively delivers the prompts to the driver, and Front Passenger Volume Control.

  Super Cruise:

  It wouldn’t be a Cadillac without the addition of Super Cruise, which is the first true hands-free driver-assist tool. Equipping you with everything you need to drive into the future, the Escalade’s Super Cruise technology is compatible with over 200,000 miles of compatible highways. For 2021, the system includes several improvements and features like the driver attention system and the automated lane change, the latter of which allows the system to change lanes when the driver engages the turn signal.

  Premium Cabin:

  The 2021 Escalade’s luxury extends throughout its interior from premium leather seating with heated, ventilated, and in-seat massage features to the ambient lighting and the available console refrigerator with a freezer mode. The interior is also larger than ever, with 40 percent more legroom in the third row and 68 percent more cargo room. Your third-row passengers will appreciate the 10 inches of legroom, and you’ll certainly love the fact that you can carry several passengers without sacrificing your rear cargo area, which offers up to 142.8 cubic feet of room.

• Safety

  

  Exceptional Safety and Driver Assist Technology

  The 2021 Escalade is packed with an exceptional suite of safety and driver-assist features that are designed to give you confidence, enhance your visibility, and minimize the potential for collision when you’re in the driver’s seat. The Escalade’s standard safety features include seven airbags, rainsense windshield wipers, and IntelliBeam Auto High-Beam Assist lights that enhance your visibility. Tools like Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Rear Pedestrian Alert notify you of potential hazards, while Front and Rear Park Assist makes parking easier and is especially helpful when used with the HD Rear Vision Camera or HD Surround Vision, both of which give you a better view around the SUV.

  In true Cadillac fashion, you can take the Escalade’s safety and driver-assist tools to the next level by adding a variety of available features. These enhanced features reflect Cadillac’s commitment to offering innovative technology to keep you safe and focused when you’re behind the wheel. So, what features are available?

  • Adaptive Cruise Control replaces traditional cruise control and allows you to “set it and forget it.” Rather than constantly adjusting your cruising speed based on the flow of traffic, Adaptive Cruise Control does the work for you by monitoring the traffic ahead and adjusting your cruising speed as needed.
  • Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist takes the stress out of parking by searching for a parallel or perpendicular parking space and then steering your vehicle into the space while braking and shifting gears as necessary. You can also use the tool to “unpark” or leave the parking space.
  • Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking is a collaborative tool that works with Forward Collision Alert to minimize the potential for front-end collisions. The system uses radar and camera technology to bring the Escalade to a full stop or enhance your braking.
  • Reverse Automatic Braking works like Automatic Emergency Braking but looks out for the rear of the SUV and can automatically apply the brakes to minimize the potential for a rear collision.
  • Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert is a great tool when traveling on the highway or in busy areas since it notifies you of vehicles in your blind zones with a side-mirror alert.
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert takes the guesswork out of backing out of a busy parking area by alerting you to traffic crossing behind the SUV.
  • Night Vision is one of the most innovative tools you’ll find on the Escalade since it truly transforms your vision. The system extends your field of vision beyond your front headlamps by using a thermal heat image to detect pedestrians or animals in the path of the SUV.
