Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2021 Escalade has undergone a thorough redesign, complete with a new independent rear suspension, savvier interior technology, prettier styling, and a new optional diesel-powered engine.To truly deck out the Escalade in its best features, go for the Platinum trim. It adds semi-aniline leather, 16-way power-adjustable front seats with massage, soft-close doors, and an AKG audio system with 36 speakers. The Platinum version also comes standard with a self-parking feature, a head-up display, and adaptive cruise control. We'll know more about pricing and optional features closer to the 2021 Escalade's on-sale date, which is expected to be this summer.

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade is much more than a Chevrolet Tahoe in a tuxedo.

Super Cruise
Independent suspension
Lots of torque regardless of engine
An adult-sized third row

Gets expensive
It’s massive
The rear end barely changed
Where’s the hybrid?

Pros

Cons

Large footprint makes it difficult to park

The 2021 Cadillac XT6 is a sharp spin on three-row family crossovers, but misses on a few details.

Pros
Comfortable interior
Good V-6 power
Sharp face
Good active safety features
Available all-wheel drive

Cons
Rivals cost less...
…and some have better interiors
Rear is a dud
No Super Cruise

By:

The 2021 Cadillac XT6 comes with all wheel drive, and front wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 9-speed shiftable automatic.Luxury trim level debuts below Premium Luxury and Sport.New base 237-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine.Wireless compatibility for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Pros
Quiet interior
Third row is roomy enough for most adults
Easy-to-use infotainment system

Cons
Minimal cargo space behind third row
Many advanced driver safety aids don't come standard
Jumpy throttle makes it hard to accelerate smoothly
Low towing limits

By: 
edmunds.com

A turbocharged four-cylinder joins the XT6 lineup for 2021 as part of the new entry-level Luxury trim level. The turbo four is shared with the smaller XT5 SUV, makes 237 horsepower, and comes paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission and either front- or all-wheel drive. The 310-hp V-6 is still standard on the Premium Luxury and Sport models.

PROS
Sharply styled façade,
three roomy rows of seats,
high-tech features list.

CONS
Less-than-luxe cabin trimmings,
lackluster V-6 fuel efficiency,
borrows too much from other GM SUVs.
