The Cadillac Escalade is a versatile vehicle unafraid to tackle city streets or off-road adventures with ease.
The 2021 model is receiving updates to enhance its performance and features. It’s expected to maintain its large dimensions, with a standard length of 203.9 inches and width of 224.3 inches. This spacious design benefits the second and third-row seats, providing a total of 120.9 cubic feet of storage space.
One significant update will be in the realm of technology. Competitors like the Lincoln Navigator have already introduced advanced tech features, setting a high bar for the Escalade to meet.
General Motors is utilizing its T1XX body-on-frame platform for SUVs and pickups, incorporating aluminum to reduce weight without compromising strength. This platform has already proven successful in models like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500.
While it’s too early to confirm powertrain updates, it’s likely that the powerful 4.2-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 engine unique to Cadillac will remain. Producing 500 horsepower, it delivers impressive performance. There’s also the possibility of a plug-in hybrid variant in the future lineup.
