How it compares to its closest rivals
Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says no matter the trim, the Escalade impresses with a ride that's as smooth as polished marble, uncommonly direct steering, and a level of agility that contradicts its size — traits missing from some full-size luxury SUV rivals such as the Infiniti QX80 and Lincoln Navigator, while the two GMC Yukon models split the difference between the Chevy and Cadillac full-size SUVs in terms of luxury.
