This Year's Model Updates:

No longer a mere Yukon Denali spin-off, the radiant 2002 Cadillac Escalade bursts onto the luxury SUV scene and attempts to maul its competitors with a monstrous 6.0-liter engine and enough technology to satisfy the target demographic.

Pros:
  • Vigorous powerplant, best-in-class towing capacity, handles well for a large SUV.
Cons:
  • No optional entertainment system, awkward steering wheel design, must pay the premium for all-wheel drive to get the big engine.

  • King of The Hill - 2002 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    Cadillac has hit a home run with the 2002 Escalade AWD. 345 ponies & 380lbs of torque, a blast to drive. Quality seems very high and design is exceptional. It seems as if Cadillac has risen to the foreign challenge and blown them away. The Escalade is priced better than the ML, X5, and Range Rover but will outperform them anyday.

    I have found the Escalade to be one of the best vehicle in style and performance on the market.Other than the gas mileage its a fun vehicle to drive.I just purchased a silver sand 2002 and so far ive enjoyed the ride.I have not driven my vehicle on the highway and hope that when i do it handles the same as city,just better gas mileage.

    This car is great. Its a big truck but handles and drives like a sports car. The steering is awesome. It has a very quick acceleration and can out gun almost every car on the street. If youre going to get one I suggest black. It looks very cool at night. The only thing that needs to be improved is the wheels. They should have included 18 inch or larger wheels on this thing. 17 in is a little small. whats up omi, flint, dave, hemx, and all of my crew in Beaverton

  • Escalades are Great - 2002 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    My Escalade is a great overall improvement over previous SUVs. AWD, 345 HP, much better Stereo, agile handling in snow & rain, very good storage space, and in summary a world-class SUV that I plan to drive for at least five years. SS

  • The Corvette of SUVs - 2002 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    I have owned several SUVs...I always came back to driving my vette I just traded my Expedition for the AWD Escalade I think I have found close to what I really have in mind it was real fun to drive, but this could be a real hit if GM does it right I will say if your other car is a vette this is the perfect family car for you......and if your single and you drive it around you will probably have a family shortly!
