2021 CADILLAC Escalade ESV
Expert Analysis
The Cadillac Escalade ESV is a behemoth of luxury and power, its Sport Platinum trim level elevating the already impressive SUV to new heights. As I settled into the plush leather seats, I was struck by the sheer scale of this American titan – its imposing size belied by a ride that's both refined and responsive.
Under the hood lies a 6.2-liter V8 engine, pumping out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque through a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. The result is effortless acceleration, the Escalade ESV devouring the road with ease as it effortlessly surges from 0-60 in just 5.9 seconds. But this is no mere brute – the advanced all-wheel-drive system and Magnetic Ride Control suspension work in harmony to deliver a ride that's both stable and absorbent, making even the most aggressive driving maneuvers feel tame.
But it's not just about raw power; the Escalade ESV is also a masterclass in luxury and prestige. The sumptuous cabin is awash with premium materials, from the supple leather to the rich wood trim, while advanced features like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and a 16-speaker Bose audio system further enhance the sense of indulgence. And yet, despite its many technological trappings, this Escalade ESV remains a visceral driving experience – one that rewards the driver with a sense of connection to the road and an unwavering confidence in its ability to deliver.
