Why it stands out

The 2023 Cadillac Escalade ESV stands out as a full-size luxury SUV built around space, presence, and high-end features. Its long-wheelbase body gives it a massive cabin and generous cargo room, and the three-row layout is designed to carry a family in comfort. Cadillac’s attention to style is part of the appeal too, with the Escalade ESV’s oversized proportions and upscale finishes giving it a more dramatic look than many rivals.

For 2023, the Escalade ESV could be had with a 6.2L V8 engine or a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel engine, both paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive were both offered, and the diesel version was the efficiency standout at 21 miles per gallon in the city, 27 mpg on the highway, and 23 mpg combined. The V8 version returned 16 mpg combined. Cadillac also offered adaptive suspension with air ride technology and magnetic ride control, which helped support the Escalade ESV’s luxury mission.

Inside, the 2023 model leaned heavily into technology and comfort. Cadillac’s infotainment system used three OLED screens that formed a single 38-inch curved display, and Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot were standard. A 19-speaker AKG audio system came standard, while a 36-speaker AKG Studio Reference system was optional. Standard driver assistance features included automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist, and Super Cruise was available. The main tradeoffs are familiar ones for a vehicle this large and luxurious: poor fuel economy and a high price of entry.
