2015 Cadillac Escalade - Redline: Review 

Really? Do you follow consumer reports? They say that this truck is one of the most unreliable.

Consumer Reports rates it that way because of the CUE Infotainment system. The engine and transmission are extremely reliable!

Alex Pascutiu consumer reports hasnt owned the vehicle for 4 years like i have.

I was replying to 24/7 Gaming. I agree with you, it's a very reliable truck. I'm a huge fan of this chassis!

***** yeah I know. Escalades are awesome. If they were better on gas mileage they would be perfect.

It’s CRAZY I thought about that literally today “Damn this gen Escalade / Tahoe / Yukon is already 7 years old (damn near 10 years old) ALREADY. Time waits for NOBODY

I getting one

The new one is ugly. The inside though. Leagues better.

The chevy SS is getting dropped r 2016

Already!! I knew they was going to boot it sooner or later. I mean its a replica. Thats all its good for. Its a sombitch of a car don't get me wrong. But GM Just wanted to go that Replica\Bring Back the Dead theme and I knew it wasn't going to age very well because their theme and attitude about it was just dead. If your going to replicate a car do it right. GM don't give a damn about the SS. It had some good potential in my opinion. They had some good opportunities to explore. But GM doesn't have the sense to. It's a Good Sleeper. Could've posed a good threat to the Dodge Charger Lineups. But ow well. I'd still love to hear Sofyan's opinion about it tho.

omarrianowilson9 There's also no advertising or marketing for the SS whatsoever. It's no surprise it isn't selling well. Although I don't think it was ever intended to sell in high numbers.

I agree. Unfortunately its just a wasted project, and wasted money that chevy invested. That was a project that they could've did something with. But I think they just built it to sell it to the people that miss the G8 thats no way to invest in a project. Ford does the Mustang to replicate the old ones. Chrysler builds Chargers Challengers and Darts to replicate the old ones. But they are projects that Chrysler is smart enough to invest in. Chevy did a one hit wonder. And the SS couldve gave the Charger some serious competition. Introduce some subtrim v6 models to it. Give it the V6 from the high end Impala. On the performance model give it the V8 out of the Vet. Put AWD on the V6 models and Chrysler has some problems. But of course GM isn't that smart!

ThatGearHead he said DC

Now, they did .

I came to say the same lol ​@@MrTblackmon

I think that's because everything is bigger and takes a lot more space, like the seats or doors. But these extra space occupied would sometimes bring you more comfort. e.g. Chevy equinox 2018 VS Honda CRV 2017+, Chevy's back seats win the comfort at the price of offering less space with a longer overall length and larger weight (which translates into significantly less space efficiency). But that's worth it in my opinion.

Cadillac does build a 100K CTS

I respectfully disagree. The linclon navigator is actually relataively affordable compared to the escalade, for starters. It doesnt have a hideous rear end with huge retro tail lights, and i do not know for sure, but i would put money on the fact that the navigator gets better gas mileage. However, i would argue that the escalade has much more prefferable colors, mostly for the interior, the color in this video is nice, however, another thing i don't like about the escalade is its far to expensive for most buyers, besides wealthy families or the retired. However, if a person was retired and had a clean $90,000 to soend on a car, wouldnt they get something smaller such as the new 2015 jeep grand cherokee summit, which is, in my opinion, about as nice as the rangerover, and another good thing with chrysler products is that the uconnect is the industry's leading touchscreen system.. By the way, i am 13, so excuse me if I got something wrong :)

I personally think the navigator oozes restrained, understated elegance, but that's just me. I actually prefer that over the flashy escalade, but that's strictly opinion. I will say the escalade is overall a more polished and well rounded product, but the navigator being $10-20,000 cheaper is hard to look past.

Michael Sylvester II the escalade gets the same gas mileage with more horsepower and torque, and since when is a jeep as nice as a range rover

Well in case you guys weren't informed, the Escalade has an 8-speed transmission while the Navigator, has a 6-speed transmission. The Escalade/Yukon also have cylinder-deactivation, which can turn the v8 into a 4-cylinder engine at highway speeds. So if the Navigator was equipped with these options, I could assure you that it would achieve better gas mileage.

Aleem Mims such a lame argument, then give the Escalade two turbos and multi valve design... such a idiotic argument.

No one wtf

I had 3 3rd gen and one 2nd gen and 1 4th gen AND IVE HAD NO PROBLEMS one reached 150kmi no problems other one 215k mi. 1 problem oil pressure sensor and it was an easy inexpensive fix

TJ HAMMERSLAND "Understore floorage". Sofyan, my man, slow your roll a bit! :)

***** Oh goodness, please let's not give any ideas of separating a video into parts like TFLCar/Truck does just a waste of time, just make it a bit longer or hit the most interesting points. There are always going to be the shorter reviews out there for each vehicle - Driven Car Reviews, decent dealers, and the up-and-coming reviewers. Anyway, something needs to change is all I'm trying to critique Sofyan on. Great job on the clips and showing the detail of the truck. ;)

dennisscipio Yes it did, my version is the earlier one with that symbol.

Spencer my friend.. there can never be too many usb ports

+KrellLab What luxury car doesn't have nav? Cadillac voice commands work - just don't talk over the beep. Some function will not work during driving, for safety reasons.

+Sheila LaShay Many other cars have navigation that does NOT disable the PASSENGER from using the system while vehicle is in motion. What Cadillac is doing is dangerous. Cadillac requires additional, and unnecessary maneuvering on the part of the driver to get the vehicle stopped and then back underway again.

KrellLab What I'm saying was if you stay on the CUE to long while driving a warning message appears on the screen. The nav is not disabled and there's an option for voice commands located on the left side of the steering wheel. A message appears reminding the driver to keep his/her eyes on the road. Now what's wrong with that?. There are many safety options on cars today and it depends on the trim and price.

Honda does the same. Personally I'd say fuck the factory nav and just opt for Android Auto and Apple Car Play. On Hondas the factory nav is a higher priced option compared to Android and Apple. Its a midrange option on the new Civic while the factory nav is only available on the highest trim level. Factory systems are dying out thankfully

There's a setting in the nav to allow the "passenger" to use it while the vehicle is in motion

***** Thanks !

Why would someone want to review a hearse

because it would be interesting hearing his opinion on a hearse

Spending as much time as you do being worried about what other people are up to, it sounds like you might benefit from said book

!!!!! They don’t hear you though. Better of if really want one to get the previous generation. Cool and all like you said but that luxury maintenance is CRAZY. I have a Cadillac. I know. Had a $6,400 maintenance bill 3/4 months ago.

They are also the definition of unreliable.

Buy the GMC Yukon Denali. It's an Escalade in disguise. And it has the same suspension and V8 the Escalade has.

You must be referring to the Tahoe's loser ass brother GMC Yukon. all the cheapness of a Chevy in all the bling of an Escalade

so do I.

What is it Bryan

Yes he did

I think most people will be ok with having the shifter by the wheel and have all this luxurious wood storage compartments and wireless charging section in the middle. I think it's much more upscale to have it out of the way

Maybe so. It just looks weird to me. Lol!

I think part of it is I am in my mid 20s so when I started driving the majority of cars still had the column shift. I think its really just more practical in this application and takes up less over all space on the inside. Makes the cabin feel bigger

Haha! I'm turning 31 soon; I'm practically ancient. Lol! I remember the days of the column shifter as well. I think for me when I bought my Ford Expedition with a console shifter, it just seemed natural to me coming from the car that I had previously. To see a column shifter on here for a 2015 model vehicle was like a throwback.

***** Its GM thing , and RAM fail knob style shifter looks pretty wack and totally out of place in a truck...same can be said about Ford's center console shift stick

Not true. The first roll out in 2015 had the wreath and a 6 speed transmission. The second half of 2015-2017 doesn’t have the wreath and is an 8 speed. 2018 went to a 10 speed.

put a bolt on supercharger and this thing is making over 650 horses for 7k if you do it yourself, and 8k if you pay a shop.

jeffrey625625 I want it from the factory. Why can't they just put the new cts-v engine in there? I would buy it in a heart beat!

In value it will.

Symbolic AcclaimedTM i like how you say this when your profile picture is an escalade

But the 2021, damn they stepped their game up.

The emblem changes.

It's better looking but that's about it

+jigglemankiller Do you hate the Mercedes one as well?

+WuWei Xu Yep

+jigglemankiller Not on the wheel idiot

I like the column shifter.. it makes the cabin feel more upscale imo

***** yeah that one's pretty ugly I have to admit lol

Conrad Lincoln it's based on a truck platform.... it's not a truck it's a full size SUV

Not with the mirrors and cameras it's a pinch

Definitely! This is just big. Only thing going for it.

Most people with common sense would to (:

Be sure your AAA membership is paid up.

There's no need the Vette's V8 is perfectly fine. But a twin turbo V8 I will like to see that

Yeah ik that. Cadillac said they are planning to do a twin turbo V8

Well so many manufacturers are making high output 6 cylinder turbos and with the weight reduction I bet the vette could really fly. I still think I would prefer the V8 but it would be interesting to see.

Yeah it's understandable and GM's V6 has plenty of power. But the LT1 is already light weight hence there's no need to. But it will be interesting I'll give you that.

FUCK NO LEAVE THE VETT ALONE 😡
