2018 Cadillac Escalade Review
As one of the largest luxury SUVs you can buy, the Cadillac Escalade is synonymous with refined style, muscular power, and space galore. If you need a chariot for seven for traveling around Philadelphia, Warminster, and Trevose, PA, the Escalade is an excellent pick.
In this 2018 Cadillac Escalade review, our team at Faulkner Cadillac Trevose takes a closer look at this year’s updates and more.
Cadillac Escalade Cargo Space
When you need to haul it all (groceries, backpacks, suitcases, baby gear, and more), you call in the big guns. You call in the Cadillac Escalade.
With a maximum cargo capacity of 94.2 cubic feet in the standard Escalade, and a whopping 120.9 cubic feet offered in the long-wheelbase Escalade ESV model, this SUV is capable of making a colossal cargo shipment.
Of course, if you’re buying an Escalade for family travel, you’re likely to keep at least one or two seating rows upright during the majority of your trips. Luckily, everyone who climbs aboard the 2018 Escalade has plenty of room to get comfortable, with regular wheelbase versions offering an expansive 45 inches of front-seat legroom.
Cadillac Escalade Engine
The 2018 Cadillac Escalade employs a brawny V8 engine to cart your people and gear with ease. With 420 horsepower standard, there’s no need to worry about being stranded in the right lane of traffic in the Escalade.
The 2018 Escalade replaces the previous 8-speed automatic transmission with an advanced 10-speed automatic version that features overdrive, Tow/Haul mode, and an intuitive tap up or tap down shifting capability. The new Escalade transmission further highlights the Cadillac Escalade’s sense of immediate acceleration with smooth, quick speed transitions.
Together, these elements fortify the 2018 Escalade to tote your largest toys on vacation or hitch up a hefty trailer, with a max tow rating of 8,300 pounds when properly equipped.
Cadillac Escalade Features
As a luxury ride, the 2018 Cadillac Escalade is loaded up right with the convenience and technology features you crave. Here are just a couple...
Cadillac User Experience (CUE®): CUE® is your ultimate suite of entertainment and connectivity programming stationed on an intuitive 8-inch touchscreen, center stage in your Escalade. CUE® includes smartphone integration through Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™, rapid voice recognition, satellite radio, and even a wireless charging station for your devices.
Head-up Display: Heads up doesn’t mean duck down in the Cadillac Escalade. What it does refer to is an ingenious projection technology that positions key vehicle information like your speed or upcoming navigation direction at eye level on the driver’s side windshield so you stay focused and informed.
Test Drive the 2018 Cadillac Escalade
A multi-category overachiever, the 2018 Cadillac Escalade’s adaptability and sense of refinement make it a stellar family ride for traveling the Philadelphia, Trevose, and Warminster areas.
