This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Vigorous power plant, best-in-class towing capacity, handles well for a large SUV.
Cons:
  • Poor mileage, must pay the premium for all-wheel drive to get the big engine.

  • Best SUV by far - 2003 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    This is by far the best SUV I have ever owned, and I have owned them all. Better than my Mercedes G500, my H2, my 2003 Navigator, and my BMW X5. If you want the best in luxury, comfort, and power, then look no further.

  • I love this Cadillac - 2003 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    Ive owned 4 Suburbans and 3 Tahoes and loved them all. But, nothing comes close to my Escalade. Its more powerful, more comfortable, better looking, better built and, of course, more prestigeous. I LOVE this truck. Ive put 20,000 miles on it in 7 months without a single problem. My kids love it, too.

  • Wheres the closest Lincoln dealer? - 2003 Cadillac Escalade

    I have been nothing but dissappointed with this vehicle. From the slugish controls, to the cheap interior design. I mean it looked great at the dealership, until I got it home. It does have good power, but that just isnt enough.

    Awsome! Smooth ride, great handling, roomy and sharp. This automobile is so far ahead of its "competition" it is a wonder other manufactures sell anything.

  • Extreme Luxury - 2003 Cadillac Escalade
    By -

    I just recently bought a 2003 Escalade and it is exactly like the 2002, which means it is excellent. I just totalled my 2002 Escalade by getting hit by a speeding dump truck and walked away without a scratch. The power is endless and the ride is extremely smooth for an SUV. I wont get any other SUV.
