Is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V the BEST new performance SUV to BUY? 

This standard length Escalade is perfect for those who don't have kids but go out with friends every now and then. Very practical and fun to drive.

Bro - I think this is one of the most fun I've seen you drive. Your reactions and laughs are a joy! It's a monster, that's for sure! I appreciate the work/content you and your team provide!

Damn that sounds like it an Corvette suv. Shit I want one.

Beauty and the beast… the beauty inside and out with the beasty engine and sounds ripping through that exhaust… 🔥

GM did an amazing job with this V. This checks all the boxes, for me! Great review, Joe!

Absolutely gorgeous! Cadillac’s newly designed Escalades are phenomenal. Drives like it’s on rails. With the car market the way it is, - all models of the new Escalade have significant mark ups above MSRP. These V series Escalades are fetching, (depending on the dealer) - adding $50,000 to $75,000 above MSRP. In other words, - this vehicle will run about $210,000. (+ tax, license, extra warranties, etc, etc.)

Alright Joe, I absolutely love the color on this Escalade V. I always loved the OLED display that they started having in 2021. Really gives it great clarity. But however, it's pretty expensive in my opinion. 😯

I work as a salesman for a Chevrolet-Cadillac dealership and We sold our first V a few weeks ago ! Man paid 190k for it ! Straight cash ! Shit was wild !! But the thing is a beast

I been dreaming about this ride

Hey Raiti's Rides What is Your Pick Between The 8 Cylinder Chevrolet Tahoe And Cadillac Escalade Tomorrow is October 31 Happy Halloween

Hoooooooooly moooooly!!!! Cadillac done did it!!!! Maaaaaaaan this is the Escalade that will set you apart!!! Look at this thing!!! Liiiiiisssssssteeeeen to this thing!!!! Stellantis needs to respond to this with a Hellcat Pacifica!!! Do it Stellantis!!! And Ford needs an Expedition Raptor with that rip-roaring V8!!! I'm gonna need you to load this onto that expedited Massachusetts bound transporter please and thank you very much!!! Merrrrrrrrrrcyyyyyyy!!! Thank you Joe and Lori and Steven for bringing us this beast of a beauty!!!

It sounds amazing and the take off is crazy 🏎️ I wasn’t expecting over 600 hp and this is what it needed all along joe you are the funniest man on RU-vid hands-down 🤣🤣🤣

It’s not a performance SUV, it’s a luxury SUV with great performance. There’s a difference. There’s nothing else exactly like it to compare it to, so let’s just accept the Cadillac Escalade V for what it is - one of a kind.

That thing is massive

Boy if I had the money I would definitely buy this truck, I love a good supercharged V8

Large and definitely super in charge!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That’s the beauty of the Cadillac Escalade V it drives so fast with a 10 speed automatic and the exhaust is remarkable!

Yes please that is awesome everything you want and need technology ❤️ and design and style and then there is a dealership here and Audi moved out as much as I love Audi there is nothing better than American muscle even though it's 6000 lbs it still performing like nothing else that makes you happy and smiling I've driven dodge Chevy Hummer Nissan but this SUV just checked off allot of the boxes and Thank you for sharing this amazing video Joe !!!!!!

Oh yes this is a nice vehicle Veeee...v8 America 💪 Blacked out trim looks awsome with that body paint.. BIG TRUCK BIG POWER

Cadillac did a great job with the Escalade but my zonk is why did Cadillac take so long to build an Escalade V?🤷

WOW!!! CAH WAH BUNGAH!!! WOOOOOOO! I can TOTALLY DIG IT in every way! Joe and Steven, THANKS FOR SHARING THIS WITH US! I am EXCITED to share it on my blog and sites! See you guys on another ride!!

GM did an amazing job with this V.

Surprised he didn’t give Escalade their props for the hidden/tucked rear wiper. No zonk on the back end for Raiti

Sitting in this car is like riding first class 🤯

You know the car is crazy when Joe is smiling in the thumbnail 🤣😂 great job Cadillac 👊

That red paint looks great on it. Also the sound of it as great as well.

Omg! Beautiful! Nothing like a beautiful Cadillac! Thanks for always bringing us great content to enjoy!❤️❤️

God that V8 is so divine. This is one sexy V8 rocket

😂😂😂 A boy and his toy! Love this review. You do fabulous honest reviews. I can’t get over the excitement you have driving this! 3 launches and you still haven’t gotten enough!

If Joe doesn't smile when on throttle, I know it's not a car for me. 😂😂😂

150 grand in the US. About 400 grand in Norway.... It's the best SUV ever ❤️

My first Cadillac SUV!! Awesome job Joe.

Wow that's awesome I will buy one for myself thank God

Never been this early before

Raiti coming in clutch with the reviews

Plz make a video with a statement plz. Plz?

I’m getting good at this……I was guessing $150k. Amazing paint color for a wild vehicle……6000 lbs and that quick is insane .

I bought a 2005 escalade and im still driving it and still love it, excellent condition, Would love to have the new mahogany escalade truck

I respectulfully disagree; I like the dark wood finish. I was about to zonk the front passenger seat for no massage, but then I noticed it had the same button as the driver's seat does. I for one would opt for the long wheelbase, because the only way I'm buying this is by winning the lottery, and if I have the money, I'm gonna spend it lol. Love the review.

Best part of entire video was watching you enjoy the twisty road! You were like a kid.. almost felt like I was there with you! So good. Thx for sharing! Gonna end up w the Denali Ultimate but this was fun to watch

OMG Joe!!! your pure joy when you go On Throttle....i love it!!!

Another great review from Joe and team, thanks for all the great content on a regular basis Joe. 👍

Best episode yet. Your joy makes me want to buy the V

RAITI is My NEW "GET AWAY DRIVER"!!! On4Nem GRAVE!!!

I probably said this before and I'll probably end up saying this again,but if the person you are now were to tell your younger self that you would be heaping praise on what is essentially a muscle truck made by Cadillac, said younger self would have checked himself into the nearest asylum. Great job as usual,Joe!

Imagine one of these in 10 years 😍 for the low low

14:15 “How do I know? Because I know how to read” that part got me dead 🤣🤣

This has the best interior by farrrrrrrr on any SUV. Cadillac killed the infotainment game.

@16:53 is it 138 degrees outside or is that the transmission temperature!?!?

76 Twinkies yum yum;don’t forget the chocolate milk,and the monitors you can watch Raiti’s rides while you’re going on throttle! Incredible v8 from gm and incredible review and camera work joe and Steven!! Keep up the good work!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

Awesome video and SUV. Go Merica!!

Crazy car 😳🤑🤑🤑

The first time I see Joe's face and he was so exciting when he hit the gas pedal and so exciting. Haha. Nice!!!!

I can’t afford this but viewing to just dream. I was cracking up with the RAV4 and meatball comments 😂 Good review!

The 2022 Escalade is offering many luxury features you probably didn’t know about. The Escalade has smart adaptive air ride control, 6 piston Brembo brakes, magnetic ride control with electric dual coil dampers which work better than all the competition. The nose does not dive when braking like the GLS AMG 63, BMW X7 and Range Rover. The Escalade offers super cruise the best autonomous system out right now even better than Teslas version, with automatic lane change, motorized active and auto-aiming projection LED headlights, self parking, lane keep assist, pedestrian alert system, automatic power folding, power tilting and heated mirrors, power panoramic sun roof, everything is rapped in leather and Alcantara in Headliner including the entire center console is rapped in leather on the Sports Platinum trim, the first one to use 4k OLED screens. Again ahead of its competitors. Escalade also offers augmented reality, AKG 36 speakers system with Two Subs one in the back and one in the front, and let me tell you, it is the loudest system of any SUV I’ve been in. It also has 9 exterior cameras and 1 in the interior, the rear camera has a pop up sprayer for cleaning, vibration motors with tactile feedback in the seats, in the steering wheel and pedals, ambient lighting, night vision with AI detection, Heads up display with directions map overlay, Automatic deploying steps, a cooler, USB and USB type C everywhere even the 3rd row has USB type C, 8 way massage seats, rear entertainment, voices enhanced and noise cancellation system, body on frame, more space, a naturally aspirated V8, more luxury features/practicalities I’m not telling you. Another important quality is, easy to work on maintenance and repairs, stuff that the competition doesn’t have. This is the reason the Escalade is outselling all its competitors 8 to 1

Do not like Escalade's tacky no class looks but Raiti rides video so I have to watch and like the video!!!

Another outstanding video!

Super fast suv .

I definitely am going to get this Escalade as well as the Escalade 600D.

Hello Apostle Joe, I think the Cadillac Escalade (V) I think Cadillac is truely the Apostle to the Luxury and to performance. Here ate the 12 Apostles to Luxury: #1. Acura #2. Lexus #3. GMC #4. Audi #5. Porsche #6. Lincoln #7. BMW #8. Rolls Royce #10. Bently #11. Jeep #12. Cadillac

$150k is crazy...in fact...all these car companies have bumped their heads with these prices.

I could listen to that engine all day long, man do I love throaty V-8!

Thank you ☺️

I love that you did launch control, that's the best part of driving a car/suv!

I ain't ever heard you say freakin so much😂😂😂😂 You most definitely enjoyed yourself Joe!! Hell Yeah Man!!!!

This thing is a beast! Nice review!

But jeep can’t bring back the hellcat powered trackhawk 🙄

It'll be so interesting seeing this go head to head with a Jeep Grand Cherokee TrackHawk. Battle of the 6.2L Supercharged V8 baby!!!💪💪💪💪💪

You have a RAV4 Prime in stock? I thought the Prime was unobtanium. Prefer a V8 PHEV someday, though. Wonder if the 24-gallon gas tank is large enough, maybe not.

Scoopings and Heepings😂 I love it!

Made me happy to see you having so much fun. You and Lori are the best in the business. Be blessed man

Yo I'll take one of these any day! I think I may be one of the very few who prefers the ESV version though.

This guy crack me up😂😂😂

as a driver, I really envy you for this video and testing, hats off to the floor, the car is brutally good

This thing is a beast!

When does the 2024 Toyota FJ Cruiser come out??

Air Ride is the best for a smooth ride ... let's see it in gold foil wrap . 😂 Joe looks pint sized besides this land crusher 😊

RAITI be giving The HIGHWAY TROOPERS Migraine HEADACHES!!!

wait, how soft is the alcantara??

Sad to say nothing about the exterior is sexy.

sounds awesome

I don’t even know where to begin. I mean this thing is so impressive in the design, power and luxury meaning.

PERFECTION FOR CADILLAC AND GM

My favorite car company

If you need this much space, yes it is by default. There is nothing else this big with this kind of performance. If you can do with less space, the faster, better handling Alpina XB7 or GLS63 are better.

For someone who is trying to help sell vehicles I would think that you would go towards the highest price vehicles you know the ones with super cruise

Did you emphasize V8 UNDERHOOD

The 2023 Cadillac Escalade V is massively wild, Mr. Raiti! See how Nahwan Nafisah do her reckless daredevil stunts!

Man. You sure have me giggling when you took it for a speed run. I can't stop smiling ☺️.

The one thing that 90% of vehicle reviews are reviews from places like consumer reports and the like. I mean, sure...show me how pretty it is, what cool things it has...but also tell me if I should be investing $50,60 or more into something that is going to cost me even more in repairs and frustration.

When it shifted and he said "yeeahhh" I felt that and I do the same thing in my TRX

Well take the Cadillac Escalade any day badass truck Mark 56 😊😉👍

It costs HOW MUCH?!? Holy sh.....mokes.

Joe, I own a ‘20 CT6V..one of 800 made..4.2 reverse flow twin turbo V8, AWD, 10 sp auto, rear wheel steering..the original hand built Blackwing..never gets any props😢

Love them both! Navigator and escalade

I think they should have modernized the blackwing duck and kept it on the badge.

JJ - the Alfa has 12 exhaust tips & a Bowers n Wilkins stereo 6,000 watts with 58 speakers - THE tony

That's a beautiful truck this thing would be worth the 💰 money better from buying a Range Rover.

Love the sound 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
