A giant both inside and out, the Cadillac Escalade is to many the definitive American luxury full-size SUV. It’s a perennial bestseller, too, arguably in part down to the brand’s reluctance to mess with its winning formula. While other rivals have tried to reinvent themselves over the years, the Escalade has remained consistent — consistently oversized, consistently well-appointed inside, and consistently expensive to buy.
The 2023 model adds an extra dash of tech for good measure, including Super Cruise, Cadillac’s hands-free driving assistant that works on most major highways. There are now more screens than ever dotted around the cabin too, including three that make up the curved display at the front of the car. Altogether they stretch 38 inches across the cabin and display everything from the instrument panel to the infotainment system.
As a huge and very expensive luxury car, the Escalade isn’t going to appeal to everyone, but for those sold on its charms, it’s one of the most generous in its class for headroom and legroom. The driver and front seat passenger get 42.3 inches of headroom and 44.5 inches of legroom, although those dimensions shrink by around three inches each for the second row.
