The Escalade is a Pop Culture Icon!
Cadillac has made a reputation for itself that exudes luxury and sophistication. It comes as no surprise, that one of Cadillac's most fashionable vehicles, the Escalade, has become an easily-recognizable icon in popular culture. For example, the Escalade SUV is practically a character itself on MTV's hugely successful reality series Jersey Shore. Jersey Shore is a popular reality television series where self-proclaimed New Jersey "Guidos" and "Guidettes" star and show how they live their lives in style. Pauly D, the spiky-haired DJ and one of the most well-known characters on the show, arrived at the signature Jersey Shore pad in the luxury SUV on the very first episode. He even has a scripted "Cadillac" tattoo on his right side (of his what?)! His housemate, Ronnie, owns an Escalade as well and can be seen in it in almost every episode.
Aside from being an obvious status symbol in Hollywood, the Escalade boasts a hefty amount of credibility as a quality luxury automobile. Offering a 6.2L V8 engine with 403 horsepower, all of the Escalade models exude prowess and control. Power wise, the Escalade takes a mere 6.5 seconds to reach 97km/h. It's also equipped with the super advanced Magnetic Ride Control suspension and 22" tire/wheel combination. No wonder it's a heavyweight contender in its luxury SUV class!
The Cadillac Escalade is most reputable, however, for its unwavering dedication to having a sophisticated combination of performance, luxury and technology. From the outside, the Escalade SUV is opulent, with its muscular trim and bold details. The inside of the Cadillac Escalade houses a luxurious, roomy and comfortable cabin that makes any road trip a relaxed one.
The Escalade offers a variety of models to suit a consumer’s individual needs. The original Escalade caters to clientele who prefer the classic SUV, radiating tradition and luxury. Coined as the "pickup as re-imagined by Cadillac", the Escalade EXT provides the perfect balance between luxury SUV and pick-up truck capabilities. For the individual with a larger crew than most, the Escalade ESV is more than half a metre longer than the classic Escalade, and can fit up to 8 passengers. Super spacious, the ESV provides limousine-like legroom for the second and third row passengers, and can also be converted to fit tons of cargo! Finally, the recently introduced Escalade Hybrid is the first fuel-saving luxury SUV to hit the market. It offers an innovative, fuel-saving 2-Mode Hybrid Engine system, which delivers more than a 50% improvement in fuel-economy in city driving conditions while maintaining the distinct style that has made the Escalade an icon.
