About This Cadillac Escalade

The 2023 Cadillac Escalade Premium Luxury Platinum 4WD represents the top tier of Cadillac's flagship SUV lineup, combining full-size presence with advanced technology and refined comfort. Finished in Crystal White Tricoat over a Whisper Beige interior, this fifth-generation Escalade showcases the significant interior and technology upgrades introduced for the 2021 redesign.
Power comes from a 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel inline-6 engine producing 277 horsepower and an impressive 460 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, sending power to the rear wheels or all four through the 4WD system. The diesel option delivers strong low-end torque and long-distance cruising efficiency while maintaining the Escalade's smooth, composed driving character.
This Premium Luxury Platinum trim is extensively equipped. Exterior highlights include 22-inch wheels, an adaptive headlamp system, power-deployable side steps, a panoramic sunroof, and a 360-degree camera system. The Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control work together to provide a smooth ride while maintaining confident handling. An electronic limited-slip differential further enhances traction.
Inside, the cabin emphasizes luxury with semi-aniline leather upholstery, a suede headliner, and three rows of spacious seating. The front seats are heated and ventilated, while the second-row captain's chairs are heated. A heated steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a console refrigerator with freezer enhance passenger comfort. Technology is front and center with a 14.2-inch digital gauge cluster, a 16.9-inch curved infotainment display with navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, and a rear camera mirror. Rear-seat passengers benefit from an entertainment system, and audio is delivered through a 36-speaker AKG Studio Reference sound system.
