The 2024 Cadillac Escalade vs. The Competition

How Does the 2024 Cadillac Escalade Compare to the Mercedes-Benz GLS and Lincoln Navigator?

Looking for a luxury SUV for sale in Kansas City? If you value a brand with heritage, the 2024 Cadillac Escalade is likely on your mind. Coming with a potent V8 engine, premium features, and a commanding road presence, there’s not much this full-size SUV can’t do. But how does it fare against the competition?

Performance

The 2024 Cadillac Escalade is available with a standard 6.2-liter V8 engine delivering 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, with the option of a turbocharged six-cylinder diesel engine for those seeking efficiency without sacrificing power. The Escalade V takes performance to another level with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, boasting an impressive 682 hp and 653 pound-feet of torque. In comparison, the Lincoln Navigator is powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 engine, and while it offers a refined ride, it lacks the V8 thrust found in the Escalade. The Mercedes-Benz GLS, on the other hand, offers a range of engines, but its starting price is significantly higher for comparable performance.

    Interior

    Cadillac has spared no expense in crafting the Escalade's interior, offering a luxurious experience that rivals any in its class. The Escalade features high-quality materials throughout, including optional semi-aniline leather in the higher trims, and a dash-spanning 16.9-inch infotainment screen paired with a 14.2-inch instrument cluster for an unparalleled digital experience. The Lincoln Navigator and Mercedes-Benz GLS also offer luxurious interiors, but the Escalade's attention to detail and expansive use of technology set it apart.

      Safety

      Safety is a paramount concern for Cadillac, with the 2024 Escalade featuring a comprehensive suite of standard safety technologies. These include forward collision warning with automatic braking, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assistance. The Escalade also offers Cadillac's Super Cruise, a semi-autonomous driving system that allows for hands-free driving on compatible highways. While the Navigator and GLS also offer advanced safety features, the inclusion of Super Cruise in the Escalade underscores Cadillac's commitment to not only safety but also innovation in driver assistance technology.

        Technology

        The Escalade's technology offerings are among the most advanced in the luxury SUV segment. Its curved OLED display, with over 38 inches of total diagonal display area, provides sharp, vibrant visuals unmatched by competitors. The AKG Studio 19-speaker audio system is standard, with an available 36-speaker setup for audiophiles. The Navigator and GLS offer their own high-tech features, but the Escalade's integration of these technologies into a cohesive and user-friendly system is particularly noteworthy.
