Cadillac Escalade

摘要

Any self-respecting American rapper will tell you that owning an Escalade is about one thing: showing off. In the UK, however, driving along roads running through anywhere other than the most exclusive postcodes, that brashness is multiplied by 10. Escalades sell by the bucket load in the US, and Cadillac hopes the improvements it has made to the huge SUV's quality, infotainment, chassis dynamics and safety kit for this fourth generation will cause us to consider it alongside the likes of a Range Rover or Mercedes-Benz GL. But if you were anticipating talk of an aluminium monocoque chassis and new Devon-friendly dimensions, you'll be disappointed. No, Cadillac has stuck with its familiar body-on-frame construction, and the Escalade is now bigger and heavier than ever.
