It’s hard to wrap my ears around a caddy sounding like a diesel. I love it. Come on Powerball.

My very first Cadillac SUV!! Great job Ben.

Work is appreciated Ben. Have no plan on buying an escalade as I am very happy with my chevy but I like these videos on newer cars.

Love it! Topping my list of what I am considering is the fully loaded 2023 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum Diesel or the fully loaded 2023 Audi Q8 or SQ8 Prestige. Might consider the fully loaded GMC Yukon Denali, Reserve or Ultimate, though I don't like the brown leather seats color of the Ultimate, but the massaging seats don't come with the next level down, the Reserve. So likely the Cadillac or Audi. Great review, very thorough, as always! Since I will likely not buy until mid 2023 or so, I wonder what changes might be instore for the 2024 models. Either way, what a beaut!

I found your Escalade reviews thanks !!

That diesel is the way to go! I enjoy rolling with my diesel luxury platinum ESV with supper cruise!

The 2023 Escalade looks stunning and I am a firm believer that a diesel engine is the way to go with huge American SUV's. A Diesel mild hybrid would be even better for the future and would get great mileage.

That is a really nice Escalade so amazing and nice very amazing suv and really great with the super cruise

I wish ford or gm would bring back the 3/4 ton SUV platform with those powertrains

I love this too but not a fan of speakers in the seats.

Hi.i am interesting this one. so just wondering if it still available please ?

I could never afford this truck, but it will be cool to see a comparison video on the sport vs the sport platinum, keep up the great work Ben…

How was the engine noise during normal driving?

WTF 🤯 that has to be the best SUV of all time. Love that interior 🤑🤑🤑👑👑👑👏

What would be the monthly payments on that SUV

I like the beard Ben!!

the 23 Gm diesels are 310 hp and 495 tq

Impressive fuel economy for a brick. Beautiful interior. I love the tech. When you did the engine start, was that a turd on the blacktop by the exhaust?

I have the diesel Tahoe can get significantly more than the EPA estimate. Roughly 30 highway and 27 city for me

The Lincoln Navigator Black Label is still a great Suv. If the Cadillac was paired with any other power plant I would avoid it at all costs, despite being an exceptional SUV.

Beautiful! Why is the steering wheel blinking? Lol

The Escalade on the exterior is amazing but the interior and what Navigator has to offer is 100x better imo. Wish they could be meshed together. Lol

The Toyota Highlander was ranked among the best family vehicles, although the 3rd row is a bit tight for adults. It gets excellent fuel economy with the hybrid option.

I've driven both, caddy is far superior in almost all counts.

would the diesel be the right choice if I do more, short trips, in-town type driving with occasional highway? I thought i heard somewhere that the diesel was not the best choice for in-town, short trips .. this driving was hard on diesels.

short term nothing changes. long term (60k mile) possibly you will be faced dpf (cloging) or egr (rough idle) malufunctions. less than 13 mile (20km) trips causing this kind of malufunciton. also diesel engines became more efficient when they are hot. cold engine short trips causing more consumption.

These diesels are to be used on interstate use or long range to get the maxium mpg's outta these things! I have a 2022 3500HD Duramax 4x4 Crew Cab High Country & when I start it up.I drive it for at least an hour or two.

I have the 3.0L duramax in my Tahoe. The first 5-10 minutes of warmup you will get awful milage. Once the engine is warm youll get 25-35 easy if you drive well. So if your just driving a few short miles def get a hybrid or something else. If you drive city but enough to warm it up fully get it. GM has a smart auto heat thing to clean out the filter and if you arent driving enough to clean it, it will tell you to keep driving to finish cleaning it out. Ive never seen it because i always drive 20-30 minutes each trip

Hopefully You Can Get You're Hands On The V Model .

Seems like the Diesel is not upgraded yet like the trucks with more horse power

Mercedes gle580 vs gle53 ang comparison 🙏

For the money, those rear seats look REALLY uncomfortable. Just flat slabs with some fancy stitching. If I wanted overpriced, cheap, uncomfortable seating, I'd buy a minivan. Shouldn't be the case in a "luxury" truck like this. It's also a shame to see they installed a BMW shifter in the center console. Guess they couldn't come up with something nice on their own. I'm not sure I'd say this out-does the Lincoln Navigator in pretty much any sense. It's a little different, but...meh. The diesel was an interesting addition to this truck, and the fuel economy numbers are pretty good, but it definitely wasn't quiet. It sounded like a tractor going down the road. Despite the numbers, I suspect it's underpowered for the task at hand and the 6.2 would be the better option.

Its dead quiet on the inside and very smooth. I also regularly get better then the government estimates with my combined city/hwy over the last 450 miles being 28.3 mpg

The Diesel Escalade, Yukon and Tahoe are the most sensible SUV’s on the market.

it isn't fully loaded, it's missing the radiant package.

I’ll still drive my Black Label Navigator over that Cadillac. The interior appointments still disappoint comparatively speaking

Look at that interior 👀…..

That diesel engine sounds good though.

Is nice but to much money just get the previous model end put a Cummins in it

I hope GM never stains the great name of the Cadillac Escalade with an EV version. That would suck balls.

You sold me on a diesel Escalade

Ben, I enjoy your reviews but, could you talk a little slower? Thanks.

The two blinking lights in the steering wheel gets annoying, I hope there is a way to turn it off.

Diesel is better for towing, smooth and balanced delivery. Inline 6 is a super smooth configuration. I have the same torque at 1500 rpm that the 6.2L needs to be screaming at 6000 rpm. Diesel is luxury, it isnt just about the fuel. Not to mention a lot more reliable

Outside of Escalade and diesel 100% awesome but inside sucks big time compared to navigator interior comfort. Push button trans engagement keeps console uncluttered for other uses. Then there is the 1000 way adjustable seats but standard are comfy. Moving to second row Cadillac stiff uncomfortable and heated option and that’s it! Navigator much more comfortable heated & cooled and massage! Console for storage and armrest plus easy to reach climate control as well as AUDIO CONTROLS! There is just no comparison on the inside! GM HUGE FAIL! Complete redesign and they don’t even match or beat their biggest competitor!!! Oh only other Cadillac option that’s awesome is the front console fridge/freezer option

hella yeah cant wait till they start rolling coal😂

Not even 300 HP? Oof

@hajjdawood

Its a diesel. They always have low hp and a ton of torque. Also it now has 305 hp and 495 torque (more than the 6.2L now)

The fact that this thing doesn't have power or ventilated rear seats, is a bit ridiculous for the price. I'd also like to see quad-zone climate control.

108 k for a suburban???!!! I’d get a cayenne or BMW X5M for that kinda money
