Malcolm Hogan: Cadillac Escalade ESV goes from big to bigger - Florida Times-Union

The all-new 2015 Cadillac Escalade, the king of large SUVs, has taken a bow with its completely redesigned platform. If there ever was an SUV that has captivated so many with its stature and luxury, it is the Cadillac Escalade. With its complete redesign for 2015, the Escalade embarks on a journey to retain its king of the hill status when it comes to having your cake and eating it, too, in the largest and most luxurious SUV you can find on the road today. However, I cannot help but drive the test vehicles that we receive each week around town, attempting to ignore the images that some of the test vehicles project. Sometimes, that image speaks louder than words, as it does in the all-new 2015 Cadillac Escalade ESV, which projects a massively sized image, an ego that equals the mass of the Escalade’s front grill in gold. There really is no way to get around the prominent image that the all-new Cadillac Escalade projects, especially with the ESV variation, which is the long-wheel-base version that matches the size of its Chevrolet Suburban cousin. The Escalade ESV is undoubtedly a huge vehicle. The weight of my fully loaded Escalade ESV 4WD test vehicle tips the scale at 6,040 pounds. Source: jacksonville.com
