Escalade ESV Platinum Edition

摘要

I was lucky enough to be test driving the Cadillac Escalade ESV during a recent visit from a friend and his two teenaged sons. And while basking in unabashed luxury and admiring what has been called the world's most decadent SUV, we decided to see if its performance matched its style. The test: Climbing a rough mountain pass in rural Colorado. Our Platinum Edition of Cadillac's stretched Escalade effortlessly climbed the narrow dirt road that's part of Colorado's Gold Loop scenic byway. The rear end never cut loose on the washboard road or the hairpin S-turns, thanks to all-wheel drive and StabiliTrak with road-sensing suspension. Otherwise I have a feeling we might have taken a sidetrip-albeit in extreme style - to the bottom of remote ravine.
