Cadillac Escalade 2007

By Benjamin Cyr

The reference amongst luxury SUV

Whether it is in Rap or R&B music videos, the Escalade is a popular choice to draw attention of SUV fans. The new 2007 Escalade actually pushes this phenomenon even further. With a more futuristic design and with a new front design, Cadillac is going after the rich, wealthy and non environmentally folks.

It draws attention

The 2007 edition tested, with its optional 22 inch wheels and it’s ivory color drew the attention of all passers by, old or young. The new front grill is huge and spectacular. The time spent in the Escalade made me think I was a movie star. Everyone stared in my direction. Forget the new front grill and the 22 inch wheels; they were all looking at me!

Road-test liked : 

• It’s unique look. I know the Escalade as nothing in common with exotics but I must say that is drew the crowd’s attention unlike any Porsche, Bentley and other makes in the same category. That says a lot on the impact of it’s looks;
• The general comfort of the interior. Nothing bad can be said about it. Long rides will be enjoyed by all passengers; 
• The numerous equipments; 
• The commands easy of use. There are easy to understand and the owner’s manual can stay safely in the glove comportment; 
• Handling was greatly improved by the larger wheel base. Even though the Escalade is a heavy weight, it’s handling is predictable.; 
• The six speed automatic transmission performs effortlessly and allows for maximum use of the 403 horses from the engine.
