Love the Caddy. I owned the DTS sedan for years and it was amazing. Impeccable to every degree, to this day I miss that car. Endless power, and never an issue with it. Took it in for regular service and treated it very well. Love your enthusiasm Joe, I can relate, I'm a gear head too. I'm nuts about anything that has power, 4 wheels and makes a noise!!!!

There are quite a few new Escalades in the Maryland area where I live. A good looking SUV. Love the vertical accent lights/turn signals.

Awesome video, good luck Steven!

Fantastic review Joe!! 👏 Love You!!❤

That Cabin Interior is gorgeous!

thanks, always a great video.

My experience limo driving Escalades vs. Lincoln Navigator is the Escalade always gets request for the 1st run. Navigators get the nod every run after. Simply a smoother ride...by far, IMHO.

Joe, I'm with you on that wood veneer on the door panel. They should have used an open-pore option with a shade other than brown. That is such an early 2000's look. Odd. However, I do really like that dark blue exterior color. The interior layout is also very impressive. Frankly, I've always been a fan of the Escalade. I'd take one of these any day over the BMW X7! More bang for the buck with the Escalade. Excellent!

Prior X7 owner and switched to the Escalade sport. The bmw was ok but I needed more room in the 3rd row with the seats up and down as well as more towing. This fit the bill perfectly for what I needed. I actually use it to my bass boat and ATVs when I’m away from the corporate hustle and bustle .

Exactly the reason I traded my 2022 x7 for a Grand Wagoneer L Series III. I drove the Escalade ESV and the GMC Yukon XL Ultimate Denali and the Grand Wagoneer clearly had way more power, better braking, and overall better handling. More rear cargo space than all of them and the Grand Wagoneer came with standard options the others don't even offer or you have to pay extra for.

Hey Joe, great review. You should compare the Escalade ESV to the Grand Wagoneer L Series III. Think you might be surprised.

Had a Merc about that color in 2000. Would like to see that color in person because I don't think the video does it full justice. Seems like you actually get a lot of features for $112k. Getting crazy when you think about that.

your obsession with the wood is a bit over board. Personally i prefer it. all in all you did a decent job of showing this car. Thanks for posting

The only Cadillac that survived it all. If only Cadillac can give us a new c8 based sports car I think that will let the auto world know they are still a legitimate luxury brand that’s seperate from the other brands and can stand on there own. Lincoln is just a rebadged Ford with leather not a serious contender like back in the day

The Dark Moon Blue Metallic looks great on the Escalade, the wood and veneer finish inside is a head scratcher, I love the seats and yes a full size panoramic roof is perfect! Thanks Joe for the review and on throttle action and Steven you're awesome behind the camera!!!!

Thorough review, as usual...

since the refreshed suburban/tahoe were released, i wonder what the 2025 cadillac escalade will look like. exterior & interior.

Does the 24 have the dual mode exhaust when sport mode is actuated?

Does The Sport Trim of The Escalade have more features than The V? For Example Sport has massage seats and the V does not?

The auto industry will put a "sport" badge on just about anything. Great review 🤙🏼

Eagerly waiting for the 25 refresh and then going with the V. Think production begins around November and that will be my farewell to ICE. The interior and tech updates will be massive!

Almost sold me...then the brown wooden floor accents caused me to hit the exit button. (The review was excellent)

I owned a 2020 Escalade luxury sport with the blacked out package. I loved everything about it but the infotainment and controls. IMO, GM makes the best SUVs but they really need some help with their user interfaces. Haven't looked at any new models but I do have a 24 Denali Ultimate and it still is "ok" compared to my BMWs. BMW has UI perfected with the control wheel.

@@briannacc3983 I'll also add that we've owned two Yukon Denali's prior to the Escalade. They really were so close in how they drove, comfort, and options. But the Escalade had a more prestigious look, IMO. Also IMO, GM makes the best SUVs, from the Tahoe/Suburban, Yukon/XL, and the Cadillac. The big Lexus SUV felt underpowered and the tech seemed outdated. BMW has some fast SUVs that are full of tech, features, and good ride, but the looks and room is subpar. Mercedes has the best interior, but external aesthetics is very subjective, aka ugly af. I just prefer the big american v8 in an suv and GM products fit the bill. I just wish they would take a lesson from BMW on infotainment navigation.

@@adrianpettway4180 Not sure of your technical skill level, but the phone pairing and navigation is far superior in both of my BMWs (2022 850 and 2023 M340). One has idrive 7 and the other idrive 8. My wife and I both have our phones paired and it's easy to switch between the two based on who's driving so the other can control the music. The navigation and hud in the 2020 Escalade was abysmal. I've no issues with lag or me just saying "hey bmw, take me to *destination*" and it works flawless. Our 24 Denali Ultimate has had the google maps freeze multiple times on trips, forcing us to use our phones for the rest of the trip until I can reset it. That's a major problem and noted all over forums on the internet. To each his own though.

Can't you just option it with different wood?

How would you compare thise to the ride of the Grand Cherokee and features?

The cost for this and MANY other new cars are the same as new home cost.. As someone who makes $120K a year, we are priced out of the market for both..Sad.
