Maybe something you can think of incorporating into your reviews, especially when you're doing three-row suvs, is to have you or Martin ride in the middle and way back and give your thoughts on not just what it's like to sit there when the vehicle is at rest, but what it's like to ride back there when the vehicle is in motion.

The best review for Escalade You did not mention the massage of front seats option and Low Range 4WD option... I am wondering why your reviews numbers are low in compare with less effort channels and have much more watching numbers?!

I'm probably 20 years away from wanting a vehicle like this (for $80K I'd go F-Pace SVR), but this is flat out spectacular. The "bling" is there, but far less than you'd expect and it looks better because of it; much more mature. The tech, the power, the agility, the comfort....wow. When you are going this big, you probably already have another vehicle for your sporty needs. I love the X5M and similar but once I need a bigger SUV, I find the Euros less appealing. This or Navigator only in this size class. GM will sell fleets of these.

I want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate to be that guy who complains about OLED technology being put in new places, but I do wonder if, like on OLED TVs with static interfaces, the screens might suffer some burn-in. Usually brands switching to OLED are very careful to tell everyone about the measures they’ve taken to avoid burn-in, but I’m not hearing much of that from GM. I hope it’s not an issue, because gosh is it ever nice in that cabin, and OLED is exactly the technology that car screens should be using. I’m sure that will make it feel expensive at night in a way that LCD panels just can’t manage. Thanks for the night footage! With all these new cars and their special interior lighting, having shots of it at night is really nice.

GM has pretty demanding durability testing when it comes to electronics. I don't know how it's been tested but that wouldn't be a concern to me. And this is not the first OLED screen is a car so other manufactures have probably been testing as well.

How is the 6.2 new? It is making the same hp/torque as before. There is no way a v8 can run on 2 cylinder and not be notice. 3:35 The v8 Escalade is still slower than the v6 Navigator.

I already like this review more than that of Doug DeMuro and I barely watched 5 minutes

Although 420 horsepower is plenty I’m still surprised that Cadillac hasn’t increased the horsepower of the 6.2 liter V8 considering the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator offer more from their 3.5 liter EcoBoost V6. The 6.2 liter V8 in the Cadillac has been rated at the same 420 horsepower for a couple generations now. I’m surprised that we’re not getting at least an optional 500 horsepower V8 in the Escalade by now.
