The interior is finally up to Range Rover levels, and features a 38" curved OLCD screen.



Car and Driver

quote:

Inside, the huge infotainment system, a near replica of the Escala's, is the car's centerpiece. Designers were determined to bring the Escalade's fit and finish in line with its luxury competitors' and started by swathing the interior in real wood trim and leather with intricate quilting and piping. Cadillac says its leather supplier had to invest in new machines to pull off some of the complex designs. There's an available 36-speaker audio system by AKG, and even the smart tailored-­fabric interior from the Escala will make an appearance in the Escalade's upper trim levels. In another nod to luxury, the Caddy's plebeian column-mounted shifter is gone, replaced by a sleek-looking electronic console shifter.

The Escalade will go on sale in late 2020. Trim levels will include Luxury, Premium Luxury, Platinum Luxury, Sport, and Platinum Sport, and the diesel will only be available on the Luxury and Platinum Luxury models.

Cadillac is mum on price but expect the base ask to stay roughly the same as the outgoing model's, so about $77,000. Buyers who choose to outfit their cars with Super Cruise—Cadillac's hands-free driving system—or any of the Escalade's luxury interior fittings will pay a lot more.


There are AKG speakers in the head rests:


And autonomous driving functionality:


Unlike the Range Rover products, the Escalade actually runs and is built in Texas.

Pretty cool to use for about a month and have it sit in the shop

The British trucks are superior at keeping mechanics busy.

I’d rather buy a cheaper vehicle and use the excess funds for something fun. Admittedly, I don’t drive any more than I have to.

Well put.

You know that fricker will have 8 different price packages. One being a “meh not too bad” price up to a Range Rover price.

ohh I couldn’t agree more, but I do like window shopping. I’m still rapidly driving my ‘09 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner with 135k miles on her and in perfect condition.

What do you think of the console shifter? I'm wondering why it isn't a dial...

I like the tactile buttons for the AC. Also that screen to the driver's left...Good use of space there

I wouldn't spend 77k on a vehicle unless I was making 225k+ per year. Probably not even then.
