2021 Cadillac Escalade ESV Sport

The Escalade ESV is the long-wheelbase version of Cadillac's full-size luxury SUV, the one you get when you want maximum third-row and cargo space. It drives with a commanding presence and a smooth, quiet ride that makes long trips feel effortless. Inside, the cabin is genuinely luxurious with available massaging seats and a huge curved OLED display that dominates the dash. The ESV's extra length means real room for adults in the third row and a big cargo area behind it, which is the main reason to pick it over the standard Escalade. The Sport swaps the chrome for a blacked-out grille and dark trim, giving it a meaner look than the Premium Luxury while keeping the same V8. A 6.2L V8 sends 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque through a ten-speed automatic, making this big SUV feel surprisingly eager off the line. On the highway you'll see 20 mpg highway, which is decent for something this size, but expect 15 mpg city around town.
