Has new competition and spicier new performance and electric variants left the regular ol’ ’Slade in the dust?
hit the market in 2020, and the competition in its segment has only grown fiercer since. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer followed this new-generation Escalade to market by about a year and promptly eked out a win inPlusher and loaded with more pampering features, the Jeep didn’t rest on its win over the Caddy—the next model year, it started phasing in a new twin-turbocharged inline-six engine in place of its 6.4-liter V-8, as well as a Cadillac Escalade ESV–matching “L” long-wheelbase model.
The steering is light and easy, leaving the brake pedal as the only outlier among the controls, as it takes more pressure to operate than expected and responds with a slightly wooden feel, although braking power is strong. The Escalade’s ride is smooth and quiet despite its 22-inch wheels, although the Jeep has a slight edge in ultimate comfort when wearing the same-size 22-inch shoes.
At least the overwhelming scent of leather that graces the first two rows wafts back to those in the way back. Meanwhile, they’re faced with more run-of-the-mill General Motors interior materials on the armrests and such than their friends seated ahead. This wouldn’t matter much if not for the Grand Wagoneer’s nose-to-tail interior exceptionalism, with charging ports, classy trim, and soft-touch materials in every row of seats.
Super Cruise is another big-time differentiator for the Escalade. This semi-autonomous driver aid works on pre-mapped highways, so it won’t be available on every route, but GM’s 750,000-mile database includes a huge chunk of major arterial paths around metro areas. Simply ensure lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control are on, and when the steering wheel rim glows green, you can remove your hands from the wheel and feet from the pedals.
