The exterior headlights look disproportionately smaller and incongruent with the overall design of the entire frontend. The frontend looks like a stingray with its mouth wide open. Personally I could have lived with mild variation of the grill in the 2020 model. I just wanted more than a pregnant XT6 for such a beloved SUV. That said, I greatly regard the luxurious upgrades. As an owner of a 2016 Escalade, I have always loved the exterior but felt robbed of true luxury in many areas, particularly the interior and ride quality. They appear to have solved those problems. I am disappointed that GM did not upgrade the horsepower and torque of this Cash Cow vehicle, at least do it for the range topping Platinum trim model. Hopefully the pricing of this new beast will not make us cry tears of sorrow.

I would hope the interior screens would be less like Mercedes, less chunky dash like Hyundai/Kia, but it does have nice look anyways if i get over that criticism and hopefully upscale feel. Exterior is fine, although front looks like bigger crossover, the 2019 had more bolder substantial look in my little opinion. Edit: at least if they would consider turbo diesel, or just bigger one, because turbo gas in living room on wheels will have consequently horrendous millage

I think the Escalade looks a lot like a Chevy Suburban--whether from the front (unless it has the mesh grill, then it looks like an old Cadillac) or from the slab side---even the back looks kinda Chevy-ish. The interior looks nice, but I think the Lincoln Navigator looks richer---love their seats. All said, it's not a miss for Cadillac, but other SUVs look better.

I'm confused. You speak of body on frame like it's an advantage. That 19th-century railway carriage approach to making cars had its sell-by date circa 1972. Cadillac didn't have enough money to modify the V8? That's like saying I haven't got enough money to make a decent car, so I'll just accept low sales instead and lose money anyway.

I've got a love hate relationship with this. The interior is flawless but Lincoln has better seats. Escalade has Cadillac super cruise which is a plus. I like Cadillac's rear design better but Lincoln has a better side profile. I preferred the looks of the last gen more so the Lincoln's front is more attractive now.

I'm pretty impressed. I love the fabric touches and overall design on the interior. I'm also very excited by OLED utilization for the dash screens. Clearly this is where Caddy has been spending their money. Every other design team must have gotten pennies

Ive been critical regarding a lot of the content on your videos, but I have to admit, yours are among the best. This is the 3rd or 4th vid Ive seen on the new Escalade. Its disappointing that you were left out. Im sure youll come through later though.

An OLED screen for persistent gauges is a BAD idea. OLED is known for BURN IN when you display the same image over and over again. Unless you change the image in the gauges every time you drive, I cant see them standing the test of time
