The 2019 Cadillac Escalade is a large luxury SUV that exudes bold American style. Available in Standard, Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Platinum trims, it comes with one powertrain: a 6.2-liter V8 that produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with four-wheel drive optional. Inside, the Escalade offers an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and navigation. Important safety features include a surround-view camera, front parking sensors, automatic emergency braking, and the Teen Driver system. Rear cross traffic alert, lane change alert with side blind zone alert, and a safety alert seat were also standard. One significant change for the 2019 model year is the addition of the Sport Edition, featuring black exterior trim.
