When you’re cruising in a 2022 Cadillac Escalade, you — along with everyone else — will know you’ve arrived. Cadillac’s full-size luxury SUV takes three-row luxury and adds a dash of adventure, with off-road-friendly options and impressive towing capabilities.
What’s the difference between the 2021 and 2022 Cadillac Escalade?
For 2022, the Escalade is updating the availability of its high-tech safety aids. This year, the entry-level Luxury trim model comes standard with lane-keeping assist and forward collision mitigation. Front and rear parking sensors help you pull this big SUV into a tight parking space without denting its handsome exterior.
All other trim models now come standard with even more high-tech safety aids, including adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. The automatic rear braking system aims to keep you from colliding with whatever is behind you. And all but the base Escalade include an automated parking system, which steers you into a parking space with minimal to no assistance.
The 2022 Escalade is also rolling out Cadillac’s new Super Cruise technology. This driver-assistance technology offers hands-free driving on pre-mapped highways and automatic lane changing capabilities.
Why choose the 2022 Cadillac Escalade?
There are almost too many reasons to take home this upscale SUV. For starters, the new Escalade looks and feels like the top-notch luxury model that it is. Five trim models treat you to extra layers of luxury.
The base Luxury model provides heated front and rear outboard seats and tri-zone climate control. And the base infotainment system features a huge, 16.9-inch infotainment touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
As you move up the trim levels, you’ll find increasing style with a panoramic sunroof, head-up display, and heated and ventilated front seats.
In addition to its upscale style, the Escalade delivers ample power and adventure-ready capabilities. With the proper equipment, this all-American SUV can tow a boat or roll into off-road terrain with confidence. Back on the pavement, you’ll appreciate the Escalade’s silky smooth cruising comfort.
What’s under the hood? How much can the 2022 Cadillac Escalade tow? How does it drive?
Escalade shoppers can choose between two powertrain options:
- Standard 6.2L V8 (420 horsepower, 460 lb-ft of torque) + 10-speed automatic transmission
- Optional 3.0L turbodiesel six-cylinder engine (277 hp, 460 lb-ft) + 10-speed automatic
Both of these rugged powertrains are torque-heavy and supply excellent towing capabilities. However, the turbodiesel engine helps you balance a powerful ride with a bit of extra fuel economy, with max EPA ratings of 23 mpg combined (21 city/27 highway). That’s very impressive for an SUV of this size.
With rear-wheel drive and the V8 engine, the 2022 Cadillac Escalade tows up to 8,200 pounds.
While the Escalade is a very capable SUV, don’t forget that it’s also a luxury model. That means you can expect smooth-riding comfort and generous speed. When it comes time to merge into fast-moving highway traffic, this big SUV inspires ample driver confidence.
