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.

  DIAMONDS AND PEARLS - 2003 Cadillac Escalade
  By bundy - December 26 - 2:00 am

  I BOUGHT MY ESCALADE RIGHT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. TOTALLY LOADED, WHITE DIAMOND EXTERIOR. A JOY TO LOOK AT AND DRIVE. THE RUMBLE OF ITS OVERSIZED V-8 SENDS CHILLS DOWN MY BACK. ALL I ADDED WAS 22" RIMS AND TIRES WHICH INCREASED ITS OVERALL STABILITY. WHAT A CHARM TO DRIVE.

  By chinaview1999 - December 6 - 2:00 am

  It is a thrill every morning to watch my wife drive away in our diamond white Caddy. we still can not believe that we actually own this ultimate SUV. It is definitely a beauty with a monsterous power inside. Its comfort makes your heart want to sing. Great reward for our hard work.

  Cool Escalade - 2003 Cadillac Escalade
  By maria gordon - November 8 - 2:00 am

  I enjoy driving a SUV vehicle, owned Jeeps before for 18 years and find the Escalade much better. Visibility is great, the car seems to handle the curves much better than any Jeeps.The interior stays cleaner, seating is very comfortable, acceleration is super therefore passing another vehicle is easy..in fact much better than the DeVille 2002 model.My only gripe...the radio buttons they are not equal to the rest of the Escalade..seem shoddy!!

  I used to drive an Ford Expedition. The escalade is a wonderful cadillac product that has power, cornering and comfort NOT like a truck. I love it. I drive a lot of highway miles and find the gas mileage isnt bad.

  LOVE IT!!! - 2003 Cadillac Escalade
  By Krissa Takatsuka - October 21 - 2:00 am

  My husband and I have now had our Escalade for about 6 months and its been great. Its definately a keeper. We pay alot per month but its worth every penny! The pearl white paint is beautiful, and it hides dirt pretty well. We have dubs on it, and man is it an eye catcher! People just stare when I drive by. The only complaint I have is at first the speedometer was sort of hard to read. But I love it and we plan on keeping it for a very long time. THANK YOU CADILLAC!!!

  2003 Escalade, Love it! - 2003 Cadillac Escalade
  By cadman - October 8 - 2:00 am

  I have owned luxury SUVs in the past, Lexus 470, Infiniti QX4, etc. The 2003 Escalade offers outstanding value! I went with the Diamond White color and its beautiful. I have received several compliments about the color in the short time weve had it. Took the Escalade on a Phoenix to Denver roadtrip. It handled great, outstanding ride feel. XM radio is a must! I installed an aftermarket 15" video/DVD screen. Didnt like the small 7" screen available from Cadillac.

  I LOVE IT - 2003 Cadillac Escalade
  By youknowimcute55 - September 22 - 2:00 am

  I love this SUV better than anything i have ever owned it is well worth the money, however gas is expensive where i live. I like everything about it. i dont think it should have been $55,000. that is like a house downpayment but i have the money so its alright i guess.

  It is a great vehicle. I would buy another one when its time to. Love it. I got a fully loaded one w/ xm radio and navigation and onstar and sunroof. Lots of power and I always get a look from people when driving it. Very cool car.
