Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) adds a redesign of the 22-inch wheel option and two new paint colors, Dark Adriatic Blue Metallic and Bronze Dune Mist. Cars.com (opens in a new tab) notes the Escalade shares a platform with the Tahoe, Suburban and Yukon but has unique styling and a standard 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V-8.
