As with its smaller counterpart, the Cadillac Escalade ESV didn't change much for 2006.  This luxury SUV comes in 2 trims: the ESV and the ESV Platinum Edition.  Both use a 6.0 L, 345 hp V8 engine with 4 speed automatic transmission.

Need room?  The Escalade ESV has plenty.  With 4 doors and 158.8 cubic feet of passenger room, you can fit 7-8 passengers in this model's cozy confines.  As for gas mileage, expect to get 13 mpg in the city and 17 on the highway.  The 2006 Escalade ESV also comes with a host of high-tech amenties including a Bose audio system, OnStar,
and satellite radio.  The Cadillac Escalade ESV gives you at least 45.7 cubic feet of cargo space, a definitive step up from the 16.3 you'll find in the Escalade.

Overall, drivers like the comfort, smooth handling, appealing standard and optional features, and nearly 7500 lbs. of towing capacity.  On the other hand, the Escalade ESV guzzles gas and can increase stress levels on residential roads with its largesse.  In any case, the 2006 Cadillac Escalade ESV delivers a capable package for those who like to ride in style.
