What Changed

Cadillac's full-size SUVs are new again for 2021. Larger in almost every dimension, the standard Escalade is almost 8 in longer, 2 in taller, and has 4.9 inch longer wheelbase. The 420-bhp 6.2l V8 is back but is now joined by a more efficient 3.0l six-cylinder diesel engine with the same torque rating as the V8. Starting at almost $80,000 the price quickly escalates to over $100,000.
