The 2014 Cadillac Escalade represents the last of the third generation lineup. It boasts an impressive 6.2-liter V8 engine delivering 403 horsepower paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel-drive as standard, though all-wheel-drive is optional. Available in three trims: Standard, Luxury and Premium, each further enhances its luxurious nature. Notably plush features include genuine wood trim and top-notch leather upholstery. For infotainment, it showcases an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation and is equipped with a 10-speaker Bose 5.1 surround sound system. Although it lacks some advanced safety features prevalent in contemporary models, it does have antilock disc brakes, stability control and an army of airbags. This formidable SUV delivers a quintessential Cadillac luxury ambiance while maintaining outright utility and convenience.
