The Cadillac Escalade is completely overhauled for 2007. The most notable changes include a more spacious cabin with upgraded materials, a more powerful 6.2-liter V8, a six-speed automatic transmission and available power-folding second-row seats and head curtain airbags. In addition, the powertrain warranty is extended to 5 years/100,000 miles.

Pros:
  • Slick interior design with outstanding ergonomics, powerful V8 engine, sweet road manners, tight turning circle, comfortable seats.
Cons:
  • No fold-flat third-row seat, a few low-grade plastics.

  • Perfect Blend - 2007 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    I have the 2007 AWD Escalade and if I had to sum it up the words would be "perfect blend." This SUV has more power than any other I have driven, so when I read that it is under powered by other reviews I dont know what their comparing it to? Maybe the Corvette. The improvements in the interior is one the main reasons I bought this vehicle. The nav system is very fast and full of information, while the Bose stereo system sounds incredible, the plasma screen DVD players in front and back are crystal clear. I have the optional 22" rims and to me this SUV still has a smooth ride and takes bumps well. So I say to people who consider this SUV compare apples to apples and you wont be disappointed.

  • Nice Drive - 2007 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    I have had this vehicle for about six months, and I have to say that it is the best vehicle that I have ever owned. My last vehicle was an Expedition, and the motor, driving, interior, exterior of the Escalade are many times better. Great job in making me look so good while driving my vehicle. Just one thing bothers me, actually two. One is the fact that a vehicle like mine does not have a fuel button! I have to go outside:( and the engine key is so not "Cadillac", while other lesser vehicles have push button start ups, and all sort of nice keys, Cadillacs is disappointing. Besides that, this is the best large SUV on the freeway.

  • Thin Plastic Seems to be in Style - 2007 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    I havent sold my 04 Escalade yet and I cant wait to get rid of my 07 model so that I can sit comfortably again. How could GM switch the comfy seats for these cardboard-ones? I got tired after driving for an hour, bumping around on roads I used to think were smooth, having my thoughts drowned in the engine, road, wind, and interior-noise! The Cashmere interior is too bright and will look old in six months.. It still has no flat folding 3rd row seats. And it still has no telescoping steering wheel.. Even though the styling is generally improved (mostly in the exterior front, the back looks like any GMC-truck) the over-sleekness of the interior came with a price - loss of personality. The engine sounds impressive, but lacks the power to impress. Overall this truck has a cheep feeling.

  • About the AC - 2007 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    I purchased my 2007 Cadillac Escalade in March 06 when it was first released and have put about 10,000 miles on it. Its been flawless in every way and all the tech gadgets work the way they are supposed to. As far as climate control, I already suffered through a long heat wave with temps above 100 and the AC performed flawlessly. You can start the car remotely and by the time you get in it it will have already cooled down considerably. Once you get in and blast the AC and ventilated seats you will be pretty cold. Anyway, I look forward to your feedback as to how it actually performs in your area. Good luck.

  • Powerful Engine - 2007 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    The 2007 Cadillac Escalade is an excellent truck. It has a great engine. It needs more leg room in front and second rows though.

  • 2007 Cadillac Escalade EXT - 2007 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    I have had problems with chopping the outside edge of the front tires. The tailgate on the EXT just falls open. The edge at the back of the tailgate is higher than the gate itself, a design flaw.

  • Im Hooked - 2007 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    This is my 4th Escalade, one was an EXT, the others are the AWD models. They consistently have shown very good quality, reliability, and performance. It still rides a bit harsher than I would like, but it handles reasonably well. I have been sufficiently impressed with this vehicle to keep coming back to "the well." Its nice to drive something this nice thats built in this country, actually Arlington Texas.

  • Big Is Better - 2007 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    I just did a test drive on both the 07 Navigator and the 07 Escalade. The BIG difference was the motor and the instrument electronics. The Escalades ride was very nice as was the handling. The seats in the Navigator were a bit better, as was the 3rd row seating but I saw a drop off in the engineers to incorporate the electronics the way Escalade did. I now own the Escalade. The styling was the major factor in my decision. The Navigator was a bit cheaper even with the options packages. Im not buying the Escalade for gas savings, but its nice to know you can use regular gas when its crunch time!

  • Not What I Expected - 2007 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    Well I have been driving an Escalade for seven years now and love it! Ready to try on the new 2007 model, I drove to the dealership to pick it up! Cadillac is well aware of my disappointment, I called them! This is a $65,000 - $70,000 truck and I felt the interior quality was significantly lower than in years past! You can see dramatic cuts they made to make it seem more roomy! The seats are less comfortable and the cup holders, ha! The windows dont power up! The automatic back hatch is awesome though. At least thats an improvement. But bring back my confy seats! I think I want my 2004 Escalade back!

  • rRad Noise - 2007 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    I like the car a lot, except that the wind and road noise are really bad. A friend I took on a long road trip said his two year old Tahoe is much quieter. Sad, but I have to agree with him. The dealer adjusted the doors once but it didnt help. Is there a fix out there?
