Cadillac Escalade
A perfect embodiment of American opulence, the Escalade was completely redesigned a year ago and now starts at just over $90,000. Customers have a choice of regular- and long-wheelbase models. As for engine selection, the base 6.2-litre V8 engine can be replaced by a 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder diesel engine. The lavish interior impresses with a stunning 38-inch digital interface. Options include GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving assistant.
