Fresh from a mid-cycle refresh last year, the Cadillac Escalade picks up right where it left off. Under the hood, the naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 remains the only engine choice—except for the Escalade-V, which boasts a supercharged version of the same displacement. The high-performance flagship also benefits from Brembo brakes and other adjustments designed to better handle its explosive power delivery. In addition to multiple trim levels, the Escalade can also be ordered in the extended-length ESV configuration.
