As the flagship SUV model of Cadillac brand, the most amazing thing of Escalade's replacement comes from the interior: for the first time, the organic light-emitting diode curved glass is used in the production car, which integrates the instrument and the central control screen. This screen is 38 inches in size and has twice as many pixels as a 4K TV. Cadillac lost this time!
Speaking of the size of the car, it's a bit exaggerated. There is an embedded microphone in the Escalade car, which can pick up the sound and send it out through the sound system to help passengers at both ends of the car hear each other's voice. Can you stand it?
In terms of appearance, the new car looks quite imposing and has a huge body size. The new Escalade adopts the latest family design language, and there will be two design styles, one is a luxury suit and the other is a sports suit. The large-size shield-shaped front air intake grille on the front face is highly recognizable. Slender headlights and family-owned vertical daytime running lights make the front face look less bloated, and the white space below is just right. Passers-by will not look so tired, but will only sigh that it is good to have money.
The side profile inherits the classic elements of Cadillac's early days, and the body size is increased in all directions, especially the wheelbase is upgraded to a greater extent, which can provide a wider and more comfortable driving space and a slimmer appearance. It is worth mentioning that the new car comes standard with 22-inch wheels, and the shape and color matching have also played a role in enhancing the face value, which is full of sports. The body size is 5382mm/2059mm/ 1942mm and the wheelbase is 3071mm. Longer than Lincoln navigator! The rear of the car is still the iconic vertical taillights, which are more restrained after blackening, and there is no consistent rough feeling of American cars. The exhaust is further increased and chrome-plated decoration is adopted, which is more in line with the performance of a large SUV.
Here comes the main event. In the interior, we can see that the driver has a 7.2-inch information display screen on the left, a 14.2-inch dashboard in front and a 16.9-inch central control screen on the right, in order to provide the driver with an "immersive" driving experience. It is reported that the new Cadillac has five interior levels, namely luxury, senior luxury, platinum luxury, sports and platinum sports. Other configurations include NFC, wireless charging, and 5 USB ports. A new generation of escalade comes standard with AKG? 19 speaker audio, 36-speaker advanced audio system is optional. Is this an Austrian vocal music equipment manufacturer founded in 1947? AKG first set foot in the car audio industry, and its first partner was Cadillac.
Don't worry about the space performance of the car, because it uses Chevrolet Suburban and GMC? Yukon was built on the same platform, so the legroom in the third row increased by 40% and the trunk volume increased by 68%. It looks like a luxury MPV with high passability.
In terms of power, the new generation of Escalade adopts 6.2L? V8 naturally aspirated engine with maximum power of 426 HP and peak torque of 623 Nm. At the same time, carrying 3.0T for the first time? In-line 6-cylinder diesel engine with maximum power of 28 1 horsepower and peak torque of 623 nm. The transmission system is matched with 10AT gearbox and four-wheel drive system, providing air suspension and electromagnetic damping. In terms of driving assistance, the new generation of Escalade became the first vehicle to use the enhanced super intelligent driving system, which can automatically change lanes on the expressway according to the driver's requirements when the road safety is confirmed.
The new Escalade has been put into production in Arlington, Texas, and is expected to be launched in North America this summer. Escalade's pure electric drive version may be launched in 2023, when it will be put into production at GM's Detroit-Hamtrak plant. Cadillac's comprehensive replacement of SUV product matrix once again gives us a taste of American luxury. Moreover, an SUV with such a large displacement of 6.2L is not a toy for ordinary people. Cadillac certainly doesn't want too many people to own it, because people who know don't need too many.
