Cadillac escalade is a great vehicle.
Its is a great car. It has plenty of space. It has all the features that anybody could need. I have not had any problems with the truck. Dealership is great too. They take care of any maintenance that you might need done. They also gave me free oil changes for life.

My vehicle is a black SUV car and its black on the inside.
It's a really good vehicle the only problem is that sometimes it is too big for me and I can't reach the pedals if I don't put the seat forward, overall it's a great car, comfortable, big and fits a lot of people so I can always give rides to people and travel to far places because of the comfortability of the car.

Overall good car for a large family.
A lot of electronics which can have issues. For example, sometimes a button will not work on the dash or ac vent will not turn. It feels like shocks are car are starting to wear as well. Sunroof electronics started to short as well. And foot step when car door opens malfunctions sometimes. Car is good for a big family.

Best car I've had so far. Also my favorite car to drive.
My Cadillac is the reason I love driving and it's comfortable and enjoyable to ride in. I love how smooth it runs and it performs like it should. I feel like I can truly rely on my car to drive well without any issues. I haven't had any problems with my car so far.

Great credit get you an awesome SUV.
I like the smooth ride and Bluetooth connections for my children. One of the major problems I have seen is the limited amount of leg room. I have long legs and often push the driver seat back making it difficult for the riders behind me to be comfortable. Reliability is great because my wife can carpool to sports games, church and to school programs. Having excellent credit helped us secure a top of the line SUV.

Best vehicle I had ever seen.
There is no problem on my vehicle. The performance of my vehicle is great. The function is very reliable and all equipment are as much as comfort. There are many more features in my vehicle. All of are great technology. I think it is a best vehicle I had ever seen.

Amazing high performance luxury car.
Very nice car, it is very luxurious! The driving is smooth and there is much comfort in it. The car can hold many people and offers a built in entertainment system which you can hook up a pc, switch, Xbox and much more into! This car is great for families and it also has much trunk space, I would recommend this car if you have the money to get it.

The amazing 2019 escalade ESV.
This vehicle is the best vehicle I have driven so far. It has a lot of high class features such as a camera in the back front and sides to show an Aerial view of you driving. I love how quickly it connects to my Bluetooth and the seats are so comfortable. It also comes with a digital speedometer.

Cadillac Escalade Sport is a nightmare
Have a 2019 Escalade Sport. It's been a nightmare. At 7200 miles it had an oil leak. Dealership could not give me a loaner. Took 3 days to fix and they wanted to charge me $9 for an oil filter. I have the Cadillac maintenance policy which apparently is pretty worthless. Just as I was getting over the inconvenience of the oil leak the car suddenly lost power as I was driving on a very busy highway. I'm thankful I didn't cause an accident. I was able to limp the car home and when I called the dealership they wanted ME to take the car to them. The vehicle was NOT safe to drive. I had the car towed to them so here I sit, again, with no loaner and no idea how long it will take to fix. I have owned 3 Cadillac and each one has had recalls or mechanical problems. My current vehicle has a sticker price of $94,000. I won't purchase another Cadillac

AC not working, wind noise
I just bought a 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV platinum. You would think it would be perfect. After a few months of owning the AC on drivers side blows out hot air. Took to GM dealership and they replaced the actuator. Next week problem returned. Called Cadillac and their response was go to an authorized Cadillac dealership. I also hear a very annoying whistling wind noise sound from drivers and passenger side window....maybe from mirror?? Who knows GM couldnt find a fix. It is very loud at 50MPH or more....not at all happy with this car...

Beautiful exterior with great color options.
Very comfortable to ride in but the tires have problems. The rims bend easy and my tires are always needing air. Plenty of room for families with great features, except the luxury trim package should include adaptive cruise control. Heats/cools fast. 4wd is fantastic.

The most reliable and comfortable car on the road.
My Cadillac is a joy to drive because of the ease and all the comfort features. The reliability gives me peace of mind knowing that when I go out to start my car it always starts even when I visit Missouri and the weather is below freezing outside. The heater and air conditioner start working within seconds.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Shoane C.

It takes a lot of gas and its brakes is messed up. The engine is good and it takes a lot of gas and the performance is good. The pros are good with the car. And the car itself is good. It has a lot of great features.

likeFilled Kendall D.

It has a lot of space, with comfortable seats and a luxury interior with a bunch of special features your guests might not even notice, but this car only has one con the car may be to big for some. This is a highly recommend car.

likeFilled Andrea M.

Some pros are. Very comfortable front and back seats. It provides you with all the creature comforts you need like heated steering wheel, hot/cold seats in both front and rear, birds eye view when reversing car, and full video option of what's behind you in your rear view mirror. The exterior has a very stylish and sporty body.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Shoane C.

It is a good car and it has a lot of space in it and it does not overheat nor does it have engine problems and it drives smoothly and the windows work good and the inside is big. It has a lot of private areas.

dislikeFilled Kendall D.

The car may be too big for some. That is really the only con because there are so many pros. Another minor con is that the space in the back of the car may be too little for some, and for people that have a lot of guests in their car it has plenty of space.

dislikeFilled Andrea M.

The only con I have come across is the design of the screen in dash, it shows all your fingerprints and the dust bunnies as well as when the sun in shining on screen it gives a bad glare due to how it slants.

It is very reliable. I have never had any problems with my car. This is my second escalade. I loved my first one so much that when it was time for a new car, I got another one.

Is The 2019 Cadillac Escalade A Good Value?

I got a very good deal on my car. This is not a cheap car. It is luxury, it is expensive, but I got a 2019 when the 2020's were coming out so I got a better deal.
Andrea s.
The cost starts from $75,195 and goes up from there depending if you want to add more things to it. The car itself it's a reasonable price because it is luxury which is pricey.
christina c.
63,000 and it is in perfect condition with only 23,000 at max. It gets great gas mileage also! Truly an amazing car.
Mykala F.
75,000,00 I believe it is a good value for a luxury vehicle especially a Cadillac. Nothing drives like one.
Alexandra F.
My cadillac escalade cost me $93,500.00 before my trade in. I traded in my previous. Escalade so I was able to get my new car for. Just under $60,000.00.
Tom H.
The Cadillac cost me 75,000 the price was kind of high but is a very good vehicle I do not think the value was good but I love the vehicle.
