During the Expo 2020, the new Cadillac Escalade ESV (Escalade ESV) was officially released. The new car is based on the regular version of Escalade, and its larger size gives it a stronger aura. Today, let us discover the highlights of this new car of the boss!
In 1999, the first generation of Escalade was born, and the goal was directed at the Lincoln Navigator. In the years that followed, Escalade gradually became associated with keywords such as seven-seater, four-wheel drive, and long axis. What we have now before us is the fifth-generation model born from the T1XX aluminum alloy platform.
ESV, namely Escalade Stretch Vehicle, is a proper term GM created for this full-size SUV. Lengthening not only means the change of body parameters, but also the differentiation of indexes such as towing capacity and fuel tank volume.
Like many models in the family, the Escalade’s long-axis version offers two appearance packages, a fashion version and a sports version. The fashion version uses a silver banner grille for a stronger sense of weight. The sports version of
uses a black diamond-shaped net, which is less expensive than Bling-bling and a little bit more scornful. In addition, the sports version will also turn the original silver trims into black.
Compared with XT6, Escalade’s headlights are more regular in shape and fit the square lines of the vehicle. The fog light area is occupied by two slender vertical daytime running lights, which are highly recognizable.
Seen from the side, the C-pillar is obviously stretched afterwards, and the Cadillac logo that was originally on the trim has also been moved forward. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the long axis version of the Escalade are 5766/2059/1942mm, and the wheelbase is 3407mm. Compared with the regular version, the length and wheelbase are increased by 384mm and 336mm, respectively. The real shot model
has an exquisite ten-spoke wheel with the handwritten "Cadillac" printed on the top. It is matched with Bridgestone ALENZA series tires, specifications 275/50 R22 111H. The car is also equipped with a non-full-size spare tire, which is suspended on the chassis. The rear of
retains many elements of the old model, whether it is the vertical taillights or the chrome trim strips across the rear of the car, it makes people feel familiar. Both the fashion version and the sports version adopt a two-sided exhaust layout, which is well received.
Carefully observe that although the shape of the taillight of the Escalade’s long-axis version has not changed much, the latest 3D cavity design makes it look more integrated and the lighting effect is more advanced. The "600" tail is the result of rounding the engine's peak torque of 623Nm. It is surprising that the American people are not used to lb.ft.
The long-axis version of the Escalade’s interior design can be described as “out of the circle”. The layout is centered on the driver. The 3-in-1 38-inch curved OLED display has epoch-making significance. A sense of technology and luxury are well balanced. After the replacement of
, the four-spoke steering wheel has been replaced with a younger three-spoke steering wheel that supports four-way electric adjustment. There will be an LED light strip at the top of the steering wheel of high-end models. When the SUPER CRUISE super intelligent driving system is activated, the light strip will turn green. When the driver is inattentive or the objective conditions do not support the operation of the SUPER CRUISE system, the light strip will turn red.
Escalade’s long-axis version prepares a 7.2-inch driving information display (supporting touch) and a 14.2-inch instrument panel for drivers, which can provide richer information than conventional full LCD instrument panels. The size of the
central control screen is 16.9 inches, and the high contrast of the OLED screen is undoubtedly more suitable for car content display. In addition to touch controls, front-row drivers and passengers can also use the knobs and buttons on the central platform to operate. The logic is close to that of German luxury brands, and a row of physical buttons is reserved in the air conditioning control area.
In addition to streaming media rearview mirrors, Escalade’s long-axis version also introduces the Surround Vision system. By mobilizing four external cameras, it can provide 200 million pixel bird's-eye view image. In addition, HUD, augmented reality navigation, night vision and other functions are not absent.
Escalade’s long-axis version abandoned Bose and switched to Hi-Fi manufacturer AKG. It has 19 speakers (AKG Studio system) as standard, and 36 speakers (AKG Studio Reference system) are optional. It is a yearning for the new sound system. The noise reduction effect is also worth looking forward to. The
interior provides at least 8 different color combinations and material combinations, and the perforation and stitching patterns of the seats can be customized. The novel features supported by the seat also include Haptic vibration prompts linked with ADAS and independent volume adjustment.
Escalade’s long-axis version has two seat layouts, 2+2+3 and 2+3+3. If you choose the former, the inside of the second row of seats will be equipped with independent armrests. The length is not outstanding, but it supports height. adjust. The second row of
has an exclusive LCD screen with a size of 12.6 inches, which can be connected to mobile devices through the USB/HDMI interface and also supports mirroring and screen projection of Android phones. Passengers in the second row can use this screen to send navigation requests to the front row, of course the driver has the right to refuse.
Compared with the regular version, the third-row legroom of the long-axis version has jumped from 886 mm to 933 mm. The third row of seats supports a 4/6 ratio down, but unfortunately there is no safety headrest in the middle.
The storage space in the car is more conventional, but they are all made very large, and it is easy to use. There are flocking or rubber cushions inside the glove box and armrest box, and the door storage slot is relatively rough, without scratch-resistant or non-slip treatment.
The long-axis version of the Escalade has a luggage compartment volume of 1214-3585L, and the windshield at the tailgate can be opened separately for easy access to small items. This is also an excellent design that is more common on full-size SUVs. The real shot model
is equipped with a 6.2L V8 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 313kW (420 horsepower) at 5600rpm and a peak torque of 623Nm/4100rpm. The new car also provides for the first time a 3.0L L6 turbocharged diesel engine with a maximum power of 207kW (277 horsepower)/3750rpm and a peak torque of 623Nm/1500rpm. In terms of transmission,
matches the Hydra-Matic 10L80 10-speed automated manual gearbox jointly developed by GM and Ford. The new car canceled the traditional design of holding gear, and instead used the family's latest electronic gear lever. On the chassis of
, the Escalade’s long-axis version uses a front long and short arm + rear multi-link independent suspension combination, and can optionally be equipped with the iconic MRC active electromagnetic induction suspension, adaptive air suspension and eLSD electronic limited slip differential. There is a classic line in
"Big Name"-"Successful people buy everything that is most expensive". The long-axis version of Escalade has many advantages such as domineering exterior design, excellent interior texture, spacious seating space, and strong luggage compartment loading capacity. It also continues to provide "True Belief" V8 engine, achieving the "expensive" and "right" The unity of opposites, I believe the big guys in Beverly Hills will be excited after watching it.
Editor's comment: full-size SUV is the most aggressive SUV sub-category. Because the size is really not suitable for my country's national conditions, the probability of seeing them on the road may be lower than that of seeing them in Hollywood movies. In addition to Escalade, GM also has a variety of products such as Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Interested friends can go to the Expo site to see the style.
