The 2021 Cadillac Escalade is a full-sized SUV that continues to offer the power, luxury, and comfort that fans have come to expect. The Escalade was created based on the GMC Yukon Denali and is essentially a luxury car on a truck chassis. However, while rugged and powerful, the Escalade is still a Cadillac at heart. This means luxury inside and out, with the amenities and attention to detail that we have come to expect in a Cadillac. While drivers and passengers enjoy a comfortable, spacious interior and state of the art technology, they can enjoy the muscle and pulling power of a truck. The Escalade is a very luxurious way to tow a boat or a small camper. The Escalade has miles of leather, onboard WiFi, four screens in the back for the entertainment system, among other luxurious details. The 2021 Cadillac Escalade comes in four trims that can be squeezed into three: Base, Luxury and Premium Luxury, and Platinum.
