THAT RAREFIED SLIVER BETWEEN THE GOOD AND THE TRULY GREAT.
THERE’S NO MAP TO HELP YOU FIND THIS ELUSIVE PLACE.
THE ONLY WAY TO GET THERE IS SIMPLY TO BELIEVE YOU CAN.
IT IS PERHAPS THE SMALLEST SPACE KNOWN TO MAN.
At Cadillac, we’ve set out to create our own uniquely American breed of
extraordinary. It’s why we’ve created our own daring school of design that
pushes steel way beyond its comfort zone. It’s why we pioneered a suspension
technology so brilliantly effective that some of the world’s top supercars
followed our lead. Inspired and humbled by all the great cars that came
before us, we went all the way to Germany’s famed Nürburgring racetrack
to prove ourselves against—challenging, and ultimately surpassing—
Europe's most admired sport sedans.
REDBLOODED. DARING. ORIGINAL.
These are the kinds of luxury cars we build. It takes tenacity, a refusal to leave
well enough alone. That is the difference between good and great.
That is the difference between just making luxury cars, and making Cadillacs.

HOW ICONS
BECOME ICONS.
Maybe it’s the fact that they are instantly recognizable. Or that they come with a larger-than-
life presence. But to really define what creates an icon, you have to dig deeper. And that’s
where the Escalade cements its status. By any measure—power, performance or technological
sophistication—it continues to redefine the category. The new Escalade Premium Collection is only
the latest chapter in its storied run. It all adds up to the most acclaimed luxury SUV ever. After all,
if you’re going to be an icon in this world, you'd better be able to back it up.

BEAUTIFUL? BRILLIANT? BOTH.
The interior comes with a level of intellect to rival its impressive luxury. A vehicle so intuitive
that during chilly weather it can even turn on its heated seats to greet you, courtesy of Adaptive
Remote Start. Once inside, tri-zone climate controls let the driver and front and rear passengers
set their own desired temperatures. All of this creates the perfect environment to enjoy the Bose®
5.1 surround sound system with AudioPilot® noise compensation technology and SiriusXM Radio
with 3-month trial.1 Never has so much beauty been in the eyes, ears and hands of the beholder.

What happens when you adhere to a singular
point of view instead of subscribing to the
masses? The outcome is pure Escalade.
DESIGNED BY COMMITMENT,
From its dramatic grille to its signature LED
vertical taillamps, its monumental presence
has made Escalade an icon. Its 6.2L Vortec
V8 engine produces 403 HP so you can pass,
tow or merge with the utmost confidence.
The engine uses cylinder deactivation
technology to seamlessly deactivate up
to four cylinders at cruising speeds for
improved fuel efficiency.1 Inside the
beautifully appointed cabin, the thoughtful
controls are as easy to enjoy as they are to
use. Without taking a hand from its leather
and wood-trimmed rim, the multifunctional
steering wheel lets you adjust the audio
system, activate the cruise control and even
use the Bluetooth® system.2 It all adds up to
one fully realized vision: an SUV experience

It begins with 10 speakers, then adds AudioPilot®
noise compensation technology that automatically
adjusts the volume based on exterior noise to enhance
the already rich sound quality.
No matter where you're seated, you’re surrounded.
The Escalade not only elevates the definition of
“well appointed,” but also gives you ample space
for up to eight adults. The interior flows seamlessly,
punctuated by French-stitched leather accents on
the instrument panel and door trim. The seats alone
are a rare combination of elegance and engineering:
14-way power-adjustable front seats with heated
and cooled seatbacks and cushions, plus a driver’s
seat that includes memory settings for two drivers.
