The Cadillac Escalade competes quite nicely with Lincoln Navigator, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, and Mercedes GLS Class. Having driven each of the aforementioned vehicles, I have the Escalade winning best quality by a nose.
Escalade is powered by a 420-horsepower supercharged 6.2L V8 engine coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission with standard all-wheel drive.
