When I first went to pick up the 2015 Cadillac Escalade there was so much going on, and I said to myself “here we go, another big SUV with an expensive price tag ”, but man I was wrong. Cadillac always known to be the luxury brand when it comes to sedan cars but not SUV’s, that all has changed in the last few years, specially I would say this year, “Cadillac did it, and did it well”.
The Cadillac Escalade is a full-size luxury SUV engineered and manufactured by General Motors and marketed under the Cadillac brand. It was first introduce in 1999 of course in respond to heated competition by the German cars and Japanese but most was to Fors’s 1998 release of the Lincoln Navigator. In 1999 Cadilac Escalade was identical to the 1999 GMC Denali, but in 2002 that was all sperated and the Cadillac recived its own design and theme. The second generation was introduced in 2002 till 2006, and the third generation was introduces in 2007 till 2014.
Today we are testing the fourth generation 2015 Cadillac Escalade which is considered the largest and most expensive vehicle in Cadillac’s product range. The 2015 Cadillac Escalade was launched in the Middle East August this year, and is already sold out; you may have to wait to get one.
Car buyers in the Middle East especially in the GCC region prefer to buy large SUV, for many reasons, to some more space for bigger family, comfort, Space, height, off-road abilities. Having said that, dealers in the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar reported to get tons of pre-orders for the new Escalade in July of 2014, a month prior to its official launch.
So enough said and let us go into business and tell you more details about that beauty. Cadillac is currently offering the all-new Escalade in two basic trim levels, Standard and Premium. Let us see how efficient the American automaker has been in producing the 2015 version of the Escalade.
