Video Summary
Performance: This vehicle cold starts loudly, perhaps a bother to some neighbors, and accelerates to 60 mph in 4.47 seconds with a surfboard inside.Range: It gets 11 mpg in the city, 16 on the highway, and 9.5 in combined driving. The average is far below its EPA rating.
Charging: The car has a wireless smartphone charging slot, USB-C ports, and HDMI ports. There is also an optional freezer in the console.
Interior Features: Interior features leather, offers a smooth ride and good head room, a quiet cabin, and supportive but not plush front seats. Drivers with families will enjoy the second row captain's chairs and a power recliner.
Technology: This car is fully loaded with Super Cruise for hands-free driving, magnetic ride control dampers, and conversation enhancement through the sound system.
Pros: Features such as paddle lamps and door handle illumination on its exterior. It also performs well with adaptive cruise and offers a variety of driver-assistance technologies that can be a boon to your commute.
Cons: It’s a large vehicle that is hard to maneuver, with a zebra wood trim that can feel tacky, there's no ventilation in the second row and no climate control in the third. Also, the turn-signal sounds are lazy-sounding, according to the reviewer. There are only one-touch automatic windows in the front row. In a test, a key fob fell into the wireless charging area, requiring a pen to pry it out. There is a monthly subscription for the Super Cruise feature. And fuel consumption was 9.5 miles per gallon in the review period, with costs of approximately $115 dollars each fill up.
Conclusion: Despite a few flaws and with the large dimensions, a driver can remain comfortable for any drive, and, if you can afford the high cost of entry, enjoy living with this impressive Cadillac Escalade V.
