2017 CADILLAC ESCALADE VS. 2023 CADILLAC ESCALADE: WHAT HAS CHANGED?

The Cadillac Escalade has proven itself time and time again to offer a luxurious and compelling experience to drivers across the globe. A lot has changed between the fourth-generation 2017 Cadillac Escalade and the current fifth-generation model, but the first-class experience it offers has remained consistent throughout. Let’s navigate through a few ways the model has evolved to preserve this experience over the past five years.

More Performance Options
The 2017 Cadillac Escalade didn’t have a lot of performance options for drivers to choose from. The only powertrain option consisted of a 6.2-liter V8 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2023 model keeps the engine but swaps out the transmission for a 10-gear system, additionally offering an available diesel-powered 3.0-liter I6 engine option for drivers that require a bit more torque on their day-to-day drives.

Enhanced Interior Features
Luxury can be found in both the 2017 and 2023 model years, but the 2023 model allows more passengers to enjoy the experience at a given time. The current iteration has swapped out the removable third row for a collapsible one, ensuring cargo capacity is maximized while folded down. The 2017 model’s premium upholstery, heated and massaging seating, and center console refrigerator remain iconic fixtures in today’s model as a reminder of Cadillac’s commitment to passenger experience.

Advances in Technology
The 2017 model’s eight-inch touchscreen interface has been upgraded to a 38-inch command center, completely digitizing most interior and entertainment controls. Rear-seat entertainment is still an option in the modern Cadillac Escalade, only this time it can be enjoyed with the added benefits of an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot and available 36-speaker AKG premium audio system.
