2016 Cadillac Escalade

The ’16 Cadillac Escalade is a full-size SUV that can either seat seven people or eight people, depending on the configuration of the second row of seats, which can have two or three seats. It goes up against vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz GLS 550, the Land Rover Range Rover, and the Infiniti QX80. Standard, Luxury Collection, Premium Collection, and Platinum are the several available trim levels. Each model level is available with either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The Cadillac Escalade ESV is a longer variant of the Escalade; however, it is not included in this coverage.

Overview:

The 2016 Cadillac Escalade has 4 trim levels:

• Standard
• Luxury
• Premium
• Platinum

Performance

There is just one engine available for the Escalade, and it is a 6.2-liter V-8 that generates 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Direct injection and cylinder deactivation contribute to increased performance and fuel efficiency in this refined and powerful motor, which is a derivative of the most recent 5.3-liter V-8 engine that GMC and Chevrolet utilize in their large SUVs. It is combined with an automated gearbox with six different gears.

Fuel Efficiency

The 2016 Cadillac Escalade can reach 60 miles per hour in around six seconds, despite having an avoirdupois weight of 6,000 pounds and a tow rating of approximately 8,000 pounds. This puts it in the same category as other vehicles that compete in terms of performance, such as the Mercedes-Benz GL63 and the Range Rover Supercharged. The EPA gives the standard Escalade a rating of 15 mpg in the city, 22 mpg on the highway, and 17 mpg combined. This is a very low rating, but it is still much better than a Mercedes GL 450. The scores drop to 15/21/18 mpg when the vehicle is equipped with four-wheel drive.

2016 Cadillac Escalade Factory Service Manual

Interior Design

The interior of the 2016 Cadillac Escalade is outfitted with a plethora of high-end materials. It has an appealing, obviously modern design consistent with the aesthetic of the rest of Cadillac’s products. At least in the first two rows, there is a fair amount of passenger room, which should be anticipated from an SUV of this size. Even on long car rides, full-size people may travel comfortably by sitting in the front of the vehicle’s center. The third-row seat is suitable for younger children, but due to its low mounting position on the floor, taller adults and teens will likely discover that their knees are forced awkwardly toward the ceiling while seated there. The majority of our rivals have third-row seats that are roomier.

Infotainment System

The CUE infotainment system is located in a beveled pod in the center of the dashboard of the Escalade. This interface is one of the primary focal points of the interior of the Escalade. We appreciate that Cadillac listened to customer feedback regarding the system’s occasionally sluggish performance in earlier model years and implemented a faster processor and other enhancements for the 2016 model year to make it more responsive.

Quality

The Cadillac Escalade has never been described as having any understated qualities. It was originally seen in the go-go 1990s, and ever since then, it has been making a statement with its large size, striking appearance, and plastic chrome coating. However, two generations of development have brought about refinement, and the most recent iteration of the Escalade has become a class act that is less fleeting and more durable.

The Escalade has developed into a vehicle reminiscent of the Cadillac’s history. It features tasteful accents made of plastic chrome. The result is sleek and precise from the front to the back, with huge LED taillights that bracket the tailgate and LED lighting that is even for the crest emblem. This was accomplished by using LEDs.
