Based on General Motors' all-new full-size SUV architecture, the '07 Escalade features new powertrain, chassis, safety and interior systems. These integrated systems deliver the most powerful, efficient luxury SUV in the segment, led by a new 6.2L all-aluminum V-8 engine with variable valve timing technology delivering 409 horsepower/PS (301 kW) and 565 Nm of torque.

2007 Cadillac Escalade has a sleeker, cleaner and more 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.

An all-new interior is a cornerstone of the new Escalade and sets a new standard for refinement. The warm and inviting interior is complemented with premium materials.

2007 Cadillac Escalade will be in European dealer showrooms in late 2006.



2007 Cadillac BLS: The 2007 model year of the Cadillac BLS comes with a few refinements. All BLS manual transmission models will have six speeds. For the versions equipped with an automatic transmission and either the gasoline or diesel engine, a new, standard Sport Mode feature allows the driver to press a button to select a sportier transmission shift pattern. Sales of the new gearbox begin following the Paris Motor Show.



2007 Cadillac STS: The STS luxury performance sedan delivers sophisticated luxury in a contemporary package. For 2007, Cadillac is making all-wheel drive available on STS to meet the growing demand for this technology.

New for 2007 is the 6L50 Hydra-Matic six speed automatic transmission that provides increased performance and fuel efficiency. The transmission, first introduced on Cadillac's acclaimed STS-V and XLR-V, is standard on AWD and RWD V-8-equipped models. The new transmission features a generous 6.04:1 overall ratio that delivers strong launch acceleration yet provides "tall" overdrive ratios that decrease engine rpm to enhance fuel economy and reduce noise levels while cruising at highway speeds. Estimates by GM engineers have shown nearly 7 percent improvement in 0-to-100km/h times and up to a 5 percent improvement in fuel efficiency. The STS with all-wheel drive will be available in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2006.



2007 Cadillac STS-V: The supercharged 2007 Cadillac STS-V is General Motors' most intense expression of Cadillac power and performance yet. It has the sophistication of its STS sibling, yet elevates the performance and luxury attributes of the brand's growing V-Series lineup. The STS-V debuted in late 2005 in North America , representing an historic combination of performance technology and hand-crafted elegance.

The 476 horsepower STS-V is the most powerful Cadillac ever. It is capable of exceptional performance for an automobile of its size. Each 4.4-liter Supercharged Northstar V-8 engine is hand-assembled to exacting standards at GM's Performance Build Center in Wixom , Mich. , and is built from start to finish by a single expert craftsman.

The 2007 STS-V also marks the initial phase of Cadillac's cut-and-sew approach to interiors, with extensive use of leather-wrapped interior surfaces created by craftsmen who cut, wrap and sew leather components individually. The STS-V is expected in Europe in March 2007.
