2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV, based on the all-new Escalade, is the largest member of the family, offering maximum passenger accommodations and cargo capacity. Combining power, size and strength with trademark Cadillac styling and technology, the full-size Escalade ESV has strongly positioned Cadillac in the large luxury SUV market.
The vehicle is 21 inches (53.4 cm) longer than Escalade, translating into more premium seating and cargo-carrying capability. It features all the same elements and features as the Escalade, but adds an extra DVD system with large eight-inch flip-down screen for third-row passengers.
Based on General Motors' all-new full-size SUV platform, the '07 Escalade ESV features new powertrain, chassis, safety and interior systems. These integrated systems deliver the most powerful full-size SUV in the segment, led by a new 6.2L all-aluminum V-8 engine with variable valve timing technology delivering 403 horsepower (301 kW* and 417 lb.-ft. of torque (565 Nm).*
The all-new 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV with all-wheel drive is available in spring 2006. It also will be sold outside North America, strengthening Cadillac's global portfolio.
Cadillac Escalade ESV is identical to the standard Escalade from the front doors forward. It has a sleek, clean and athletic form with improved aerodynamics, while appearing smaller in stature than its predecessor. It is instantly identifiable and incorporates styling cues from Cadillac's landmark Sixteen concept vehicle, including a more detailed signature grille, front fender vent ports and layers of chrome accents.
All the major sheetmetal and body components are new and feature crisp, taut lines. The sleek, toned look includes a faster windshield angle of 57 degrees, which flows gracefully into the roofline. This also improves aerodynamic performance to a segment-best 0.36 coefficient of drag, which helps improve fuel economy and reduce wind noise.
The all-new interior is a cornerstone of the new Escalade ESV and sets a new standard for interior refinement and passenger space. One example is the underside of ESV's new industry-exclusive power fold-and-tumble second-row seat.
