Ultimate Muscle: The 2023 Escalade
For sheer power, you can’t go past the Escalade. There are three brawny engine options to choose from: a V8 that makes 480 horsepower, a turbodiesel with 277 horsepower, and a supercharged V8 that makes a mammoth 682 horsepower. The V8 engines get you some serious grunt, while the turbodiesel provides better fuel efficiency. Despite being a large vehicle, the Escalade makes for a composed ride thanks to accurate steering and a suspension that handles bumpy roads with ease.
Inside the cabin, enjoy a bold design littered with premium materials. There’s room for up to eight people in the proper configuration, plus 25.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. Cadillac’s infotainment system is easy to use, boasting features like a 16.9-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, and an available 36-speaker audio system. Numerous safety features, including pedestrian detection and forward collision warning, come standard. For something really special, opt for the available center-console freezer.
A Roomy Compact: The 2023 XT5
In the market for something a bit smaller? The XT5 is a compact SUV that still gets you ample passenger and storage space. In fact, with 30 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, it’s one of the best in its class for cargo capacity. It’s a smartly designed interior with plenty of upscale trimmings, plus available features like a panoramic sunroof and ambient lighting. Like the Escalade, it runs Cadillac’s infotainment system on a prompt, straightforward touchscreen.
Two engines are available with the XT5. Choose between a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes 235 horsepower, or a 3.6-liter V6 that makes 310 horsepower, both of which pair with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The XT5’s handling is athletic and supple, taking corners well and maneuvering easily through tight areas. This, paired with its performance braking system from Brembo, makes it a particularly appealing choice for city driving.
In 2023, the SUV market is more saturated than ever. But Cadillac has produced models so stylish and refined cars that they stand out in the crowd. Whether you’re after something meaty and powerful or something smaller suited to city driving, Cadillac has you covered.
