2006 Cadillac Escalade Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Not much changed in 2006 for the full-size SUV that needs no introduction. The Escalade comes in 2 trims: the 2WD and the AWD. Both trims come equipped with a 6.0 L, 345 hp V8 engine with 4 speed automatic transmission.
As for gas mileage, expect to get around 13 mpg in the city and 18 on the highway. Both trims have 4 doors, seat 8, and offer standard air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, power/leather seats, cd player, ABS brakes, traction control, and stability control. Options include navigation system and sunroof. You and your passengers have plenty of room to stretch out with almost 160 cubic feet of cargo room. Finally, the AWD can tow up to 8100 lbs. and the 2WD can tow up to 7400 lbs.
Overall, the Escalade continues to build on its reputation for putting style over substance. Then again, you don't buy this sleek SUV for those long family trips to Sheboigan. Drivers love the powerful V8 engine, smooth handling, plentiful interior space, and high-tech bells and whistles that include Bose sound, OnStar, and DVD-based entertainment and navigation systems. With a de-emphasis on the blue-collar elements, the Escalade guzzles gas and costs a pretty penny. Regardless, Cadillac wins major style points with another top-shelf edition of a classic.

I have loved this car very much. It handles beautifully and rides very well. The V8 is super strong to tow most anything. Maintenance has been quite low. I have it serviced at the dealer is the only reason I rated costs of maintenance higher - but that is my choice to do that. I'm sure most GM mechanics can service cheaper.Jan 24, 2012

Drove a few of these for I was considering buying one, put a deposit downon one, but I didn't trust the dealership and so I got my deposit back and got my Magnum instead, the magnum is more practical for me anyhow and better on gas. Also I think the escalades are way over priced.Jan 09, 2008
