So regularly 2021 Cadillac Escalade just isn’t big enough? Enter the 2021 Escalade ESV. On Thursday, Cadillac shared the first picture of the bigger brother of the regular Escalade.
No wonder it’s an identical looking machine with a larger footprint. The Escalade ESV is 15 inches longer than the standard SUV. Behind the front row are 142 cubic feet of cargo space, or 18% more than the previous Escalade ESV. Cadillac says this is a class leading figure, even taller than the massive Lincoln Navigator L.
Just like the standard Escalade, the Escalade ESV has the same updates. There’s still a curved 38-inch OLED screen front and center for all types of information displays, premium materials, Super Cruise, and more. The powertrain options also remain the same. A 6.2-liter V8 engine remains the standard engine, and a 10-speed automatic transmission shifts power to the rear wheels or all four. The 3.0-liter in-line six-cylinder turbo diesel engine is a free option, and buyers can swap GM’s Magnetic Ride Control and adaptive air suspension if they so choose.
While a standard Escalade starts at $ 77,490After a target fee of $ 1,295, the larger Escalade ESV costs $ 80,490. Prices go up by only $ 1,000 compared to the outgoing model, and this time there’s a lot more SUVs to love. Be warned, the options list will definitely move every model into the six-figure range.
Cadillac said orders for the 2021 Escalade ESV are open today and the SUV will be delivered to dealers this fall.
