Vehicle Description
The Escalade moved to the new GMT900 platform for the 2007 model
year, as the GMT900 platforms together
(Silverado/Sierra/Avalanche/Escalade EXT,
Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/Yukon XL/Yukon Denali/Escalade) were launched
together for that year. The regular Escalade was again joined by a
stretched ESV version as well as a new EXT sport utility truck. The
2006 Escalade was the official vehicle of Super Bowl XL, with MVP
Hines Ward being awarded one of the first Escalades produced.
Production of the redesigned Escalade began at Arlington Assembly
in January 2006. It is priced from US$57,280, though the rear-wheel
drive version at this price was not produced until August. The more
expensive all-wheel drive version was produced first, followed by
the long wheelbase ESV and EXT pickup (the latter sourced from the
Silao, Mexico, plant) in June.
The Escalade uses an all-aluminum 6.2 L Vortec V8. This pushrod
engine includes variable valve timing, a first in a mass-produced
non-overhead cam engine. The system adjusts both intake and exhaust
timing between two settings. The engine produces 403 hp (301 kW)
(23 hp more than its sister competitor, the GMC Yukon Denali) and
417 lb�ft (565 N�m) of torque. A new six-speed 6L80 automatic
transmission is used. The new body completes a 0.363 drag
coefficient. In 2010, the Cadillac Escalade's base price was
$62,500 for a RWD model, and $65,200 for an AWD model. The
northeast accounts for 60 percent of Escalade sales. 2013
model(Cadillac Escalade 2WD 8 cyl, 6.2 L, Automatic 6-spd,) have
official government measured fuel economy of 14 mpg-US (17 L/100
km), combined 16 mpg-US (15 L/100 km) and highway 18 mpg-US (13
L/100 km).7 #fn7
