Overview & Reviews
Despite brisk sales of the Escalade in 2002, there are numerous upgrades for 2003 to keep the luxury sport-ute at the top of its game. An improved StabiliTrak stability control system is now standard on both two- and all-wheel-drive models, while all Escalades get an improved braking system, High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, exterior mirrors with integrated turn signals and chrome wheels as an option. The interior has also been updated with new features like tri-zone climate control, satellite steering wheel controls and a redesigned instrument cluster and center console. The standard Bose audio system received some minor upgrades while new options include XM Satellite Radio, a DVD entertainment system and second-row captain's chairs. Added safety comes in the way of dual-stage airbags, adjustable pedals, a front-passenger seat sensor and three-point belts for all first- and second-row passengers.
- Vigorous power plant, best-in-class towing capacity, handles well for a large SUV.
- Poor mileage, must pay the premium for all-wheel drive to get the big engine.

Smart Buy - 2003 Cadillac Escalade
By rkelon - April 28 - 2:00 amExcellent truck, appears to have excellent build quality, rides alot like a German vehicle. Tight steering, minimum noise, we like to drive it. Could use more real wood and less plastic wood. Very good job Cadillac, vehicles like this will restore the Cadillac prestige! I hope service is included...need to ask the sales person.

Best SUV - 2003 Cadillac Escalade
By easycad - February 21 - 2:00 amExcellent driveability but requires constant attention to the road. So many switches and displays that take your eyes off the road. The vehicle will drift very quickly if not constantly on guard.
