The interior features over 38 inches of diagonal digital display space on the dash. It’s not a single screen, but rather, three screens that span from the far left of the dash to nearly in front of the passenger. A 7.2-inch touch screen left of the steering wheel is the driver information center. Behind the wheel is a 14.2-inch display for instruments and other vital driving information. Moving to the right is the big 16.9-inch infotainment screen. All utilize OLED technology with twice the pixel density of a 4K television that Cadillac says is an industry first for clarity as well as curvature of the screens. And yes, it’s standard-issue for all Escalade models. Image Credit: Supplied

There are more displays, too – rear-seat passengers get a new entertainment system with a pair of 12.6-inch screens that can connect with the on-board systems or various media through HDMI and USB connections. Image Credit: Supplied

Super Cruise also comes to the Escalade for the first time, new and improved with over 200,000 miles of compatible highways where hands-free operation is available. That’s all monitored by LiDAR data, GPS, cameras, and radar systems, and it also allows the Escalade to execute a hands-free lane change by engaging the turn signal. Image Credit: Supplied

If the new Escalade is impressive from a visual and technological perspective, the automaker worked with AKG to create an optional 36-speaker sound system that Cadillac also says is an industry-first. It’s powered by three amplifiers to create sound in 28 channels, and it’s not just used for pumping up the bass. It can adjust volume settings independently in the front and rear, and it can also work with the navigation system to provide direction-specific audio prompts. Image Credit: Supplied

Styling is obviously Caddy specific with the big grille and thin headlights up front. At the rear you’ll find Cadillac’s trademark thin vertical taillights, and 22-inch wheels are standard for all trim levels. Image Credit: Supplied

Under the hood are two engine choices – GM’s 6.2-litre V8 producing 420 horsepower or in an Escalade-first, you can get the new 3.0-litre turbodiesel good for 277 horses and a mountain of torque that equals the bigger V8. Both engines use the same 10-speed auto found on the Suburban and Yukon, as well as the same rear-wheel-drive powertrain with standard four-wheel-drive capability. Image Credit: Supplied

Cadillac says the 2021 Escalade is coming this summer, but a specific on-sale date hasn’t been announced. Pricing will also be announced closer to that on-sale date. Image Credit: Supplied
