Overview & Reviews

The 2010 Cadillac Escalade receives a number of notable upgrades. High points include fuel-saving cylinder-deactivation technology for its 6.2-liter V8, new front side-impact airbags, a redesigned door structure for better occupant protection, new-look clock graphics (taken from last year's Platinum model) and a new USB connection for portable audio devices. Some features have been discontinued, however, such as the rain-sensing wipers and the rear indicator lights for the rear park assist system.

• Classy looks inside and out, long list of desirable standard features, gutsy V8, surprisingly civilized road manners for a truck-based SUV.

• Third-row seat lacks legroom and must be removed to maximize cargo space, lackluster braking distances, predictably low fuel economy.

  2010 Escalade - "Long in the Tooth" - 2010 Cadillac Escalade

  My 3rd Esc AWD - 03, 08, 10. Selling features on this one were Magnetic ride control, active fuel mgmt (4/8 cyl), front side airbags standard. RE the ride control - only thing I notice is slightly faster transmission of road variation. It certainly a more "euro" feel, frankly out of place in such an SUV as this. Active fuel mgmt is a total joke - I got better mileage with my 08 (but, only 500 miles so far in this one). And guess what? No more rain sensing wipers and no more heated washer fluid (Im from Wyoming - needed that hot washer fluid!). Theres more, but the crowning blow came when transferring OnStar - you cant keep your old number!!
