4 Reasons to Fall in Love With the 2023 Cadillac Escalade Premium Luxury 4WD

Exhibiting a bold exterior design and impressive interior touches, the new 2023 Cadillac Escalade demands attention—and unquestionably gets it. The variety of upscale creature comforts, advanced technology systems, safety features, and meticulously crafted details are just four of the many reasons to fall in love with the latest model Escalade. From its V-Series-inspired blacked-out sport grille nestled between Cadillac script-etched headlamps to its 3-foot-tall 3D LED illuminated taillamps with choreographed animation upon approach and departure, the Escalade is deliberately intended to strike the perfect balance between brawn and sophistication.

Meticulous craftsmanship is evident throughout the cabin as the premium finish out clearly creates a convenient, attractive, and inviting atmosphere. Available 16-way power heated and ventilated leather seats with massage settings keep the driver and front-passenger relaxed and comfortable, while the 26 color options of ambient interior lighting and stylish light piping allow for an environment of calming hues for different moods. The available UltraView sunroof provides passengers with wide-open panoramic views, and refreshing cold beverages can conveniently be served from the available console refrigerator with freezer mode located in the insulated center console.

For those behind the wheel or just along for the ride, the Escalade's technological innovations enhance transportation and make on-road journeys much more exciting. An impressive industry-first curved OLED display showcased on the dashboard has twice the pixel density of a 4K TV and offers more than 38 inches of total diagonal display area for the driver and front seat occupant, while the available rear-seat 12.6" diagonal high-definition entertainment touchscreens allow second-row passengers to play video and audio from compatible devices. And although an exclusive 19-speaker AKG Studio sound system comes standard for professional high-fidelity sound quality, the AKG Studio Reference system with a whopping 36 speakers is available to provide true audiophiles with a more immersive multi-level listening experience.

Driver assistance is offered through systems such as in-cluster map navigation, a full-color head-up display, interior microphones for conversation enhancement, and augmented reality-enabled navigation which projects a live street view onto the cluster display. Available enhanced automatic parking assist also helps detect parallel and perpendicular parking spots, and the available Super Cruise™ feature provides hands-free driver assistance technology for use on compatible roads such as maintaining lane position or performing a lane change under certain conditions. When it comes to safety, the Cadillac Smart System consists of a suite of standard features including automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, front pedestrian braking, safety alert seat, rear park assist, HD rear vision camera, vehicle diagnostics, teen driver, and rear seat reminder. HD surround vision also uses multiple cameras to display a digital overhead image of the area immediately around the vehicle, available night vision uses thermal imaging to highlight any detected pedestrians, and an available rear camera with washer provides a less obstructed view behind the vehicle while driving.

Three new exterior colors are available for the incoming model year including Argent Silver Metallic, Radiant Red Tintcoat, and Dark Emerald Metallic which are offered on Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport, Premium Luxury Platinum, and Sport Platinum trims. So if you prefer that your mode of transportation reach a elevated level of premium comfort, then you just might find yourself falling in love with the luxurious new 2023 Cadillac Escalade.
