Cadillac escalade: the epitome of luxury and comfort.
It is a wonderful vehicle with many amenities and luxurious features. Leather seats that are heated and cooled, a backup camera, spacious back seating, and plenty of space in the back for groceries or necessities. The back seats fold down or can be taken out for convenience.

Awesome
The only issue we've has was the transmission line and oil lines leaking. Seem to be common when you get around 80k I'm at 97+. Make sure you service the diffs and transfer case esp. The front! Do the oil change every 5k. Plan on it burning 1qt of oil. Just get in a habit to check it every 1k. It does not run well on 89 octane itprefers 93 which it does run much better on 93. Overall it a suped up chevy tahoe. Say ur self some cash and just take it to a good chevy dealer alot cheaper same parts ect.....

My car is absolutely luxurious. It is drives smooth even on bumpy.
It is beautiful and drives smooth. Does not give me a hard time. Less gas is spent on my vehicle. It is all leather on the inside. Beige color. The color is red on the outside. No sound effects when driving on bumps on the road. Has two versions of sunroof.

Luxury, comfort, secure.
Remote start, navigation system, fog lights, trailer hitch, leather seats, heated seats, heated steering. The 2014 escalade comes with a robust 6.2-liter v8 engine and a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy is about average for a luxury large SUV, at 14 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway.

Amazing comfort for a SUV.
This vehicle has been reliable for our growing family. There is enough room for everyone to sit comfortably. We do not mind having to take long trips with this SUV. The comfort is amazing. All the features make this extra amazing. We are so happy with this purchase.

Unique, safe vehicles for everyone!
I do not have any problems with my vehicle at the moment, everything runs great, it is smooth, comfortable and great for my entire family. I have a family of four, including my husband who is in a wheelchair so my vehicle has enough room to store his wheelchair, plus groceries, plus the kids and everyone is great, safe and very happy.

It's dependable no matter the weather I can always count on it
I love the size the power is I drive up the interstate and the look but it takes too much gas unladylike and limited parking spot

So many issues w my Cadillac
So many...rough ride. Replaced all 4 shocks. Transmission clunk and dealership claims nothing can be done. Always something wrong with it. Currently lift gate stopped working and heat cool cup holder blinking. Have had times it seems possessed! Headlights blink hi low beam, stabiltrack light blinking. All the engine lights blink. Door locks go lock unlock all by themselves. Yes all at once! Of course no code can ever be found. Next time I will video it veryyyy disappointing for a Cadillac. It is not my first one either. My husbands Ford King Rancher has a much smoother comfortable ride!

That it's a really great car, and you will have a great time driving it.
I love this car. It's performed well over the last few years. And it's comfortable for long car rides.
accountCircle Lisa R
Safety remarks are great.
The one thing I absolutely love is the room it has for my family and i. Another thing I love is my rear view camera. I do not like the gas mileage, but when you have a bigger vehicle it requires more gas.

Black Cadillac 2014 review.
I love this vehicle, I haven't had any recent problems. I bought it slightly used and have been very pleased in my purchase. Very affordable. Highly satisfied. I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes Cadillacs. Also my boyfriend thinks it is a very nice car for the price too.
accountCircle Allie P
Very unique color. I have never seen it anywhere else.
Features regularly need updating and maintenance. Over the last few months the drive has become a lot more rough, than what it was originally. Back right tire sensor had been replaced once since purchase date and is showing signs again of it needing maintenance. It shows pounds to be at 0. Maps has never worked, and still not sure what to do about it. Front driver seat has never been adjustable. Assuming the controls need to be replaced.

The SUV, in a class all its own.
This car is not only beautiful, it is stellar in it is performance. The leather trim, seating capacity, nav system all make for a comfortable jog around town, or road tripping near or far. It is reliable, outperforms (in my opinion), other SUVs in it is class. Although, I like to tell people it is in a class all its own!

Second row bench seating is not ideal when you have multiple children.
I love everything about it except that I have second row bench seating instead of captains chairs. It can be difficult for people to get in the back with car seats in the second row seating. I removed part of my second row bench seat to make it easier to access the 3rd row.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Muriel B.

Smooth ride, stylish exterior, luxurious interior. I love to drive it on the open road. The exterior has changed a lot; It is so luxurious in the interior. It has comfortable seats and a smooth ride.

likeFilled Toy M.

The mileage and capability performance is great. Awesome experience for trips out of town. All the features in the car are well equipped and virtually assisted. The style of the car is exceptional, great speed, and smooth ride.

likeFilled Roman L.

It's got great safety features, along with a luxury interior that makes a comfortable entertaining ride for all passengers. It's also 4x4 and a v-8 for plenty of pulling and off road power while still maintaining its luxury feel and look.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Muriel B.

I wish the fuel for it was cheaper. As I said earlier, the exterior has changed a lot and it has not for the best. I prefer the older exteriors. They look like spaceship. Being 'modern' does not mean following the crowd.

dislikeFilled Toy M.

There are no cons this is a great vehicle to purchase especially if you have a family that likes to travel to different states. This vehicle is highly recommended for all its fully equipped with innovative features.

dislikeFilled Roman L.

There are not many, but the main con would have to be the gas mileage. It has a big v8 in it along with being a three ton vehicle makes it have lower fuel mileage. It is a little on the bigger side making some maneuverability a struggle.

The 2014 Cadillac Escalade was purchased used, so it was less than new obviously. I think that it is a good value based on all of the features that it offers.

$30,000 used price at today's market with low mileage. It is a great value for a luxury ride and vehicle.
Anthony K.
I bought it used and the cost was 32,000. The price was in the range for what it sells for with the amount of mileage it had. New ones cost 86,000. Or more it depends what you have put in it
