Fourth generation Cadillac Escalade. New Cadillac Escalade (2017-2018)

They say that there is no limit to perfection. This thesis may raise questions if we are talking about a car that is distinguished by the highest level of prestige and quality, for example, the 2018 Cadillac Escalade. The fourth generation of this legendary model was presented to the general public in the fall of 2017. According to experts, and without that perfect car has become even better, largely thanks to a major modernization while maintaining the SUV platform.

The new body visually seems even more impressive. The front of the 2018 Cadillac Escalade is crowned with a huge chrome grille with five vertical lines, slightly refracted in the middle. A short distance from this design miracle are updated stylish vertically oriented headlights, LED optics who can “look” around corners. The bumper looks quite simple against the backdrop of all this splendor; the main decorative elements on it are massive foglights in the shape of the letter “L” and a rather small air intake grille located in the center. The hood is very unpretentious; four ribs of the same width do not stand out much on its surface. With its entire appearance, the “face” of the car inspires calm and imposing confidence in its superiority.

From the side the car looks no less brutal. One of the most important elements of the image are the wheels of a simply gigantic size (22 inches!), organically located in large arches of an almost rectangular configuration. The upper and lower parts of the doors are visually separated in almost equal proportions by a noticeable chrome strip, and the image is completed by chrome roof rails, door handles and a border around the windows. Door handles and retractable thresholds now have LED backlight, making getting into a car in insufficient natural light more comfortable. The body in the photo seems very long, and this is not an optical illusion: the standard one has a length of 520 cm, and the ESV version adds another 50 cm, which allows seven people to move with maximum comfort for each passenger.

From behind, the Cadillac looks even more unusual thanks to the optics stretched almost a meter up along the side pillars. These lightsabers, according to the manufacturer, consume a minimal amount of energy and are capable of shining with varying degrees of intensity. The upper edge of the door is decorated with a solid visor with a thin but wide backup for the side lights in the middle. The glass of the rear door has a slightly larger angle of inclination than before, and the windshield wiper in the off position is now “recessed” into the door so that it is not visible at all. The bumper is impressive, although simple, and does not carry any bells and whistles, except for two reflectors in its lower part.

Interior

Inside new model also fully consistent with its status. Expensive finishing materials, Newest technologies assembly and the highest degree of comfort - details that together form a close-to-ideal image of the new Escalade.

A little higher in front there is a control unit for 3-zone climate control, allowing you to build the ideal temperature regime for every rider.
