The New Escalade is a partial change model of the fifth generation model. The fifth generation of complete changes appeared in 2020 and the partial changes were unveiled in North America in July 24. Although it is a facelift, it is characterized by rapid change of full change.
First, the front that influences the impression of the vehicle has changed significantly. Horizontal headlights disappeared and vertical daylights and vertical LED headlights were integrated to maximize the identity of Escalade alone. The existing headlamp seat is replaced with a horizontal thin line decoration to give it a future-oriented look.
In addition, the grill, which occupies most of the front, has a grill surround LED light function with lighting in the rim and logo, showing off its overwhelming presence.It is expected to attract attention from the surrounding area when it is turned on at night.
The second change is the lateral posterior segment. As for the side, there is no significant change as there is a partial change. The existing 22-inch wheel size has been expanded to a maximum of 24 inches, showing a more confident posture. The rear vertical lamp was applied as it was. Some graphic details have changed, with the least change among all appearances.
The third is interior change. The range of interior changes is greater than that of the exterior design. It's like encountering a full-change model. The 38-inch infotainment integrated panel, which was previously a large size, is combined with a 35-inch monitor with 8K quality and a 20-inch monitor. It boasts a size of 55 inches.
In addition, the AKG studio reference sound system with 40 speakers is newly applied, boasting a sound reminiscent of a concert hall.In addition to the 55-inch monitor, the biggest difference in driver standards is the change of electronic gears.Previously, it was a simple gear rod type electronic gear, but it was changed to a column type to increase intuitive operability.
Instead, the center console has been reborn as a large storage space.It has also added luxury car-like convenience specifications, such as automatically opening the door when approached and closing the door when the brake is applied.
The fourth is the ESV trim change, a long wheel base version. ESV standard 2 column specifications were applied. We introduced an executive sheet package with a two-row independent sheet that moves in 14 directions. You can enjoy the comfort and convenience of being in the first class of an aircraft at the same time.
The on-star service, which began to be applied from the Chevrolet Tracks crossover, has also been applied, enabling remote control using smartphone apps and vehicle status check. The power train remains the same. A 6.2-liter V8 gasoline engine, which cannot be found in the same class, matches a 10-speed automatic transmission.
It exerts a maximum power of 426 horsepower and a maximum torque of 63.6kgf.m, dragging the 2,830kg body with ease. Combined fuel efficiency is 6.4 kilometers per liter based on normal fuel efficiency. High-speed fuel efficiency is certified as 7.7 kilometers per liter.
Trunk capacity extends to 722 liters basic and up to 3413 liters when folded in second and third rows. The ESV version extends to a base 1175 liters and up to 4027 liters when folded in second and third rows.
In addition, all the specifications that the existing Escalade boasts are applied as they are. Cadillac's signature feature, the Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 system, analyzes the road surface more than 1000 times per second. It adjusts the damping power of the suspension in real time to provide optimal ride comfort.
In addition, adaptive air ride suspension is combined.The garage was lowered during high-speed driving to increase the sense of stability, and the garage was adjusted at low speed and during boarding to improve convenience.
The night vision system, which helps visibility when driving at night, remains the same. The major difference from the North American model is the lack of super cruise coverage. Cadillac Korea said
"We are currently preparing for domestic certification, and The New Escalade is already equipped with a Pro Vision for Super Cruise Operations."It could also be available in Korea within a few months."
In Korea, there are two models: the regular model and the extended wheelbase version 'The New Escalade ESV'. The price is 160.7 million won for The New Escalade and 188.07 million won for ESV.
