Used 2023 Cadillac Escalade ESV for Sale near Chattanooga, TN

The Cadillac Escalade ESV is the long-wheelbase version of the Escalade large luxury SUV. The Escalade ESV increases interior space while retaining the same capabilities that help the model compete with the likes of the Lincoln Navigator and the Land Rover Range Rover. ## What’s New for the 2023 Cadillac Escalade ESV For 2023, the Cadillac Escalade lineup gets a new, high-performance Escalade-V trim level, which can be upfitted into the long-wheelbase ESV body style. The Escalade (including the ESV line) was last fully redesigned for the 2021 model year, and in 2022, it got some simple changes to the trim lineup and features menu. ## Design The Escalade is big; the Escalade ESV, even bigger. This extended-wheelbase variant adds 14 inches to the SUV’s overall length, for a total of 18.9 feet, which looks simply massive on the road and adds significant interior volume both in terms of passenger space and cargo capacity. For unique exterior styling upgrades, consider the top-tier Sport Platinum, Premium Luxury Platinum, or Escalade-V trims. ## Powertrain The base Escalade ESV comes with a 6.2-liter V8 engine rated for 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. From there, you can upgrade to a 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbodiesel with 277 hp and 460 lb-ft or a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 with 682 hp and 653 lb-ft. All three engines get a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) comes standard, and four-wheel drive (4WD) is available. For the best fuel economy ratings, go for the turbodiesel six-cylinder, which is estimated for up to 21 mpg city and 27 mpg highway with RWD. Towing capacity tops out at 8,200 pounds when properly equipped. ## Interior The Cadillac Escalade ESV stretches the standard three-row luxury SUV’s cabin out, adding more than a foot of interior space. It can be configured to seat seven or eight people, and there’s room for adults in all three rows. Synthetic leather upholstery, 12-way power front seats, heated front row and second-row outboard seats, a heated steering wheel, and power-folding second and third rows all come standard. You can upgrade with leather upholstery, cooled front seats, front seats with more adjustability and massage functions, a panoramic sunroof, and a refrigerator and freezer that take the place of the center console. Cargo space for the ESV model checks in at 41.5 cubic feet, or a total of 142.8 cubic feet with all seats folded down. ## Technology The 2023 Escalade ESV’s standard tech features across the lineup include a 16.9-inch infotainment touch screen, a 14.2-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless device charging, and a 19-speaker stereo system. It can be upgraded with a 36-speaker stereo system and a rear-row entertainment system with a pair of 12.6-inch touch screen displays. ## Safety The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the 2023 Cadillac Escalade an overall rating of four out of five stars. Note that the Escalade ESV is not tested separately. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has not evaluated the 2023 Escalade.
