As the ultimate in luxury SUVs, the 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV is a four-door fan favorite that drives like a dream. With a muscular engine under the hood, four-wheel drive, stunning technology, and a spacious cabin that seats as many as seven, this is one SUV that aims to please. So if you’re curious why other drivers are raving about this luxury SUV in particular, here’s a proper introduction to the 2022 Escalade ESV.
Performance
With available four-wheel drive, the Escalade ESV is ready for a challenge, and its 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine is further proof of this. There’s also an available 3.0-liter turbo diesel engine that produces 277 horses, and both engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that provides smooth gear transitions from low to high speeds.
The standard Adaptive Air Ride Suspension automatically adjusts the vehicle’s shocks to counter different driving conditions, while towing has never been simpler, thanks to features like the Trailering Assist Guidelines and the Tow/Haul Mode Selector. With an 8,000-pound maximum towing capacity in two-wheel-drive models, you have the perfect excuse to go on road trips or outdoor getaways with a trailer in tow.
Interior
Inside the cabin, you’ll find plenty of signs of luxury, from the leather-wrapped interior trim to the available Console Refrigerator with Freezer Mode. For sunny days or stargazing at night, the power panoramic sunroof expands across all three rows in the cabin, so every passenger can enjoy the breeze.
Every drive is a pleasure too when you have 16-way power passenger and driver seats with both a ventilation and heating function, as well as 4-way lumbar support and a back massage feature. There’s also 142.8 cubic feet of cargo space available, which is significantly more room than what you’ll find in traditional Escalades.
Technology
The full-color Head-Up Display feature shows you everything you need to know on the vehicle’s windshield while driving, whether it’s your current speed or total miles driven. The HD Rear Vision Camera projects a live feed video into the cabin, so you’re always aware of objects behind you while reversing.
For music lovers, the AKG 36-speaker audio system is sure to impress, while the customizable OLED infotainment system provides everything from navigation instructions to augmented reality visuals.
Safety
To prevent collisions with pedestrians and other vehicles, there’s Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Automatic Emergency Braking. Together, these intuitive systems can detect hazards in your path while stopping the vehicle if you fail to do so in time.
Super Cruise is a hands-free driving feature that not only controls acceleration and braking but can also switch lanes for you. Then there’s the Night Vision feature, which allows you to visualize animals, pedestrians, and objects on the road in poor lighting conditions.
Few luxury SUVs can offer both four-wheel drive and a spacious interior without sacrificing performance, yet the 2022 Cadillac ESV does exactly that and with impressive technology to boot. To take this classy SUV out for a test drive, contact us today at Earnhardt Chandler Cadillac.
