This is not a vehicle that goes quietly into the night, but would you expect that of the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V? This is the high-performance rendition of Cadillac’s biggest beats, its inner demon writ large as a full-size, full-on luxury, high-performance, body-on-frame SUV.
In another era, this would have been an Eldorado powered by an 8.0-liter V-8. The vehicles are radically different, but the intent is the same. Full-size comfort, every mod con, over-the-top presence, and effortless power. Fuel economy? Darling, if you can afford a $150,000 supercharged V-8 truck the size of a garden shed, you can afford the fuel. Heck, it’s almost as large as those tiny houses on HGTV. Of course, given that the front center console has a small fridge, you could almost live in it. Almost.
It's far better to drive. You’ll never believe a hippo can tango.
