2011 Cadillac Escalade Performance and Engine

Paired with a heavy-duty 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, this drivetrain delivers confident power for hauling passengers, towing, or simply merging onto the 10 or 215 freeway with authority.

The instrument panel layout is clean and driver-focused, and the high seating position gives you commanding sightlines on surface streets and highways alike. With seating for up to eight passengers and a generous cargo area, this is an SUV built to handle real life — whether that's a family road trip to Big Bear or daily commuting across San Bernardino County.
