2024 Cadillac Escalade V8 - Premium Luxury SUV - Exterior and Interior 4K

2024 Cadillac Escalade V8 - Premium Luxury SUV - Exterior and Interior 4K Cadillac’s biggest SUV is powered by a standard V-8 engine that makes 420 horsepower and can deactivate half of its cylinders when cruising to save fuel; a diesel inline-six is also available. A 10-speed automatic transmission is standard with both engines, and buyers can choose from rear- or all-wheel-drive setups. As with its siblings, the current-generation Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon, the Escalade rides on an independent rear suspension that provides additional third-row legroom, which was compromised in the previous model due to it solid rear axle. Higher-end trims also offer air springs with adaptive dampers. At our test track, the long-wheelbase Escalade ESV with the V-8 engine sprinted to 60 mph in just 5.9 seconds. The 277-hp diesel engine doesn’t deliver nearly the straight-line performance of the standard V-8, but for some buyers that compromise is worth the improved fuel economy
