The 2011 Cadillac Escalade ESV is a top-tier luxury SUV known for its comfortable ride, powerful acceleration, and cavernous interior. As a member of the third generation Escalade line, the ESV variant further elevates passenger and cargo space. Equipped with a 6.2-Liter V8 engine, the output is an impressive 403-hp paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. The standard rear-wheel drive can be upgraded to an all-wheel drive, tailoring to multiple driving requirements. Its most distinctive features include 14-way power-adjustable seats, supple leather upholstery, and a richly adorned interior. The infotainment center is facilitated by a premium Bose sound system, heated front and second-row seats, and a power-operated sunroof. Safety features include an advanced stability control system, antilock disc brakes, and a full-length side curtain airbag system. Despite its size, it maintains robust maneuverability and earns respectable marks for safety from IIHS.
