After introducing the Escalade ESV Platinum Edition trim in 2004, Cadillac's full-size SUV still had its owners living large in 2005. Cadillac made some cosmetic changes to the model, including touch screen capability on the navigation system, refurbished instrument panels, and wood trim in the interior. Otherwise, not much changed for the widely-recognized status symbol.
The 2005 Cadillac Escalade ESV comes in two trims: ESV and ESV Platinum Edition. The difference? As you might guess, the Platinum Edition gives you extra luxury, including standard sunroof and navigation system. Expect to get 13 mpg in the city and 17 on the highway. Finally, you'll have the capacity tow around 7,600 lbs. on average between the 2 trims.
The pros and cons associated with the 2006 Cadillac Escalade ESV remain relatively consistent with other editions of the Escalade. On the positive side, drivers like the roomy interior, style, and power. On the negative side, drivers will find the Escalade ESV's thirst for gas rather expensive to quench. In addition, the SUV's bulky frame makes it tough to navigate narrow residential areas. Keep all that in mind and this highly-desired showpiece won't disappoint you.
What owners say
It's hard to care about the gas mileage when it looks this good! If you need something to haul the family and all their stuff this is definitely the way to go. The only full sized SUV that I would trade this for would be a newer one!
April 6, 2009Love everything about it! The way it looks, the roomyness, the sun roof, the safety and quietness, the reliability, the bose speakers and touchscreen stereo, the gps, the 6cd player, the tv, the heated seats and the air conditioning that cools off so quickly and blows like a hurricane if you want,...and more!
