At the end of the 90s, Cadillac introduced a luxury SUV, the Escalade, as a response to other luxury SUVs such as the Mercedes-Benz M-Class, Range Rover or Lexus LX. After five generations, Cadillac launched a refreshed edition of this model.

The Escalade is a huge SUV with a length of over 5.5 meters, which now comes with a new front end, slim LED headlights, a new illuminated logo on the grille, adaptive air suspension, Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 system and Super Cruise system for semi-autonomous driving. Buyers can choose between new 22″ and 24″ wheels, as well as three new body colors: Aegean Stone Green, Deep Sea Blue Metallic and Latte Metallic Light Bronze. It should also be noted that the doors can be set to open automatically when approaching the car, as well as that they can be automatically closed when the brake pedal is touched.

Inside, the cabin is equipped with a massive 55″ screen that extends the entire width of the dashboard, and is divided into two parts: 35 inches for the driver and 20 inches for the passenger. Cadillac has not forgotten the passengers in the back, who can now enjoy a 12.6″ touchscreen if they opt for the Executive Second Row package.

When it comes to the powertrain, Cadillac decided to drop the 3.0-liter diesel engine from the lineup. So buyers can now choose between the 6.2-liter V8 engine with 420 hp (313 kW) and 459 lb-ft (623 Nm) of torque, which powers the standard Escalade, and the supercharged 6.2-L V8 engine with 682 hp ( 508 kW) and 653 lb-ft (885 Nm) of torque, which powers the Escalade-V.

The prices of the refreshed editions are not known.
