Upon approach, Escalade greets you with a dramatic light show. The front Daytime Running Lamps pulsate twice, the rear LED Light Blades illuminate from bottom to top twice and the Cadillac Crest illuminates on the back of the Curved OLED Display. Additionally, an available puddle lamp with the Cadillac Crest appears in anticipation of your arrival.

Escalade Features


 

Safety

Front Pedestrian Braking

The Front Pedestrian Braking system can alert you via haptic seat feedback when it detects a pedestrian directly ahead of you. It can even automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver's hard braking to help reduce collision severity or even avoid detected imminent pedestrian collisions.

Rear Pedestrian Alert

This system can detect pedestrians directly behind the vehicle and alert the driver to help you avoid a collision. The system works when you're in Reverse during the daytime. It has limited nighttime and low visibility performance.

Automatic Emergency Braking

Automatic Emergency Braking works with Forward Collision Alert to help you avoid or reduce the severity of a potential front-end collision with a detected vehicle you're following. The feature uses technology to automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver's hard braking.

HD Surround Vision

HD Surround Vision uses multiple cameras to display a digital overhead image of the area around the vehicle when in Drive or Reverse at low speeds. This view, projected onto the OLED display, helps increase your awareness when parking or maneuvering in tight spaces.

Rear Camera Mirror

This available innovation uses a camera to provide you a wide and less obstructed view behind the vehicle while you're driving. You can switch between the camera view and a traditional rearview mirror.

Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert

Available Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert can provide side-mirror alerts when a moving vehicle is quickly approaching or is in your side blind zone.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

Available Rear Cross Traffic Alert can alert you via haptic seat feedback to detect left or right cross traffic behind your vehicle when in Reverse.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

Available Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning uses a brief, gentle steering wheel turn to alert you when you may be unintentionally drifting out of detected lane lines. If needed, you may receive additional lane Departure Warning haptic seat alerts. System alerts do not occur if you're using your turn signal or it detects you may be intentionally leaving your lane.

Automatic Seat Belt Tightening

Available Automatic Seat Belt Tightening can automatically activate during emergency braking and/or sudden driving manoeuvres and release when driving conditions return to normal.

Performance

Standard 6.2L V8 Engine

Command the road with the smooth delivery of 420 HP [313.2 kW] and 460 lb-ft* [623.7 Nm* *with premium gasoline] or torque. The new Dynamic Fuel Management system varies the number of active cylinders, from the two-cylinder operation to the maximum power of all eight cylinders, helping to optimize performance and efficiency.

Available Duramax 3.0L Turbo Diesel

Up you efficiency with the available Duramax 3.0L Turbo Diesel 6-cylinder engine.

Magnetic Ride Control

Available Ride Control reads the road 1,000 times per second to make your drive responsive and smooth - that means the vehicle is reading every inch of the road at 100kmh.

Air Ride Adaptive Suspension

Composed of electronically air springs, the available Air Ride Adaptive Suspension is precision-crafted to help elevate the isolation and smoothness of your ride.

Electronic Limited Slip Differential

Developed with experience for a Cadillac V-series, the available electronic Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD) intelligently predicts and reacts to road conditions, maximizing traction when you need a firm grip on the road.

Independent Rear Suspension

This suspension fundamentally transforms the driving dynamics of the Escalade, allowing each rear wheel to handle road conditions separately to dramatically enhance ride quality, steering responsiveness and overall driver control.
