The Cadillac Escalade has long been the benchmark for full-size luxury SUVs, and the latest model raises that bar even further. From its sweeping 55" Horizon Display to hands-free driving technology, the Cadillac Escalade luxury features and technology package is genuinely hard to match. Whether you're commuting, road-tripping, or simply making an entrance, this vehicle is designed to deliver at every level. Drivers throughout Mandan, ND looking for a full-size SUV that blends presence, performance, and premium technology will find a lot to appreciate here. Let's walk through what sets the Escalade apart from the crowd. A Cockpit-Like Interior That Centers Around You Step inside the Escalade and the first thing you notice is the curved 55" Horizon Display™ that stretches pillar to pillar across the front of the cabin. This panoramic screen integrates the driver display, center infotainment, and a dedicated front-passenger screen into one seamless visual experience. more Google built-in compatibility is standard, meaning you get access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play Store without needing to plug in your phone. A 5G Wi-Fi hotspot keeps passengers connected on the go, and wireless phone charging is also included. The interior itself is equally luxurious. Depending on the trim, you can find precision-perforated or quilted leather seating surfaces, 12- or 16-way power-adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation, and even a massage function on higher trims. An Audio Experience You Can Feel One of Escalade's standout luxury features is the available AKG audio system. Depending on the trim level, you can choose from a 21-speaker, 38-speaker, or even a 42-speaker AKG® Studio Reference Surround Audio System. The top-tier 42-speaker configuration with Dolby Atmos® is available on models equipped with the Executive Second Row package, creating a truly immersive listening environment. Sound is distributed throughout the cabin, so every seat gets a concert-quality experience. Super Cruise: Hands-Free Driving Done Right Every Cadillac Escalade comes standard with Super Cruise®, Cadillac's hands-free driver assistance technology. This is not a basic lane-keep feature — it's a comprehensive system that uses precision LiDAR map data, real-time cameras, and adaptive radar sensors to allow hands-free driving on hundreds of thousands of compatible highway miles across the U.S. and Canada. Super Cruise is paired with a three-year OnStar One Plan, keeping the system connected to live map and safety updates. The technology also supports hands-free lane changes on compatible roads, making long-distance driving noticeably more relaxed. Supporting Super Cruise is a broader suite of driver assistance technologies, including Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert Braking, and Adaptive Cruise Control. Available Night Vision takes awareness a step further, helping detect pedestrians and large animals beyond normal headlight range. Performance Built Around Comfort The standard 6.2-liter V8 engine produces 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque with premium gasoline. Dynamic Fuel Management helps balance performance with efficiency depending on driving demands. Available Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control work together to absorb road imperfections and keep the ride composed regardless of terrain or cargo load. These systems continuously read road conditions and adjust the suspension response in real time. For those who want more, the Escalade-V trim takes things further with a 6.2L supercharged V8 that produces 682 hp and 653 lb-ft of torque. Brembo® six-piston performance front brakes and an active exhaust system complete the performance-oriented package. Room for Everyone and Everything The Escalade seats up to 8 passengers across three rows, with well-appointed space throughout. All second-row seating configurations offer substantial room for adult passengers, and the third row is genuinely usable for adults. For those needing even more room, the Escalade ESV extends the overall length to 226.9 inches, adding legroom in the third row and expanding maximum cargo capacity to 142.8 cu ft. The standard Escalade offers up to 120.5 cu ft of cargo space and a maximum towing capacity of 8,100 lbs when properly equipped. Luxury trim and above include Hitch Guidance with Hitch View, an in-vehicle trailering app, and HD Surround Vision to make maneuvering with a trailer far more manageable.

The base Escalade trim includes the 55" Horizon Display, Super Cruise, Google built-in compatibility, and a 21-speaker AKG audio system as standard equipment. Moving up, the Luxury and Sport trims add leather seating, ventilated front seats, a Power SkyGlass roof, and power retractable assist steps. Platinum Luxury and Platinum Sport go further with Semi-Aniline leather, massage seating, upgraded audio, rear seat entertainment, and available Night Vision.
