New Car Test Drive (2002)
This full-size luxury SUV makes a strong statement with sharp, chiseled styling. Popular Mechanics (2002)
Climate control is more effective and quieter, and the sound system has been ratcheted up a few notches with the Bose Acoustimass 11-speaker setup. An in-dash CD changer gobbles up to six discs at a time.
The Car Connection (2002)
The folding "midgate" system and its removable rear window separates the four-door, five-passenger cabin from the cargo box. The Car Place (2002)
For the bottom line is that this is just a big, heavy, gas-guzzling truck bedecked in jewelry. Hey, a rhinoceros with an earring is still a rhinoceros. Truckworld (2002)
The steering is faster and more precise, decreasing the big SUV's turning circle by more than three feet, which puts it literally in the same circle as the much smaller four-door Blazer 4x4. USA Today (2002)
Squirrelly at moderate speed, it became uncomfortably twitchy at a brisker pace. Yahoo Autos (2002)
The 2002 Escalade is a 4-door, 8-passenger luxury sport-utility, available in two trims, the 2WD and the AWD. The 2002 Escalade's closest competitors include the Acura MDX, the Land Rover Freelander, and the Volvo XC90. CarTrackers (2001)
This new execution of Escalade bears little resemblance to the predecessor, other than the name and basic format of a five-door wagon with full-size dimensions. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (2001)
Escalade gives an excellent ride - smooth, controlled and comfortable. That's helped by a road-sensing suspension and not hurt at all by giant 17-inch tires. Epinions (2000)
See what fellow owners of the 2000 Cadillac Escalade think of their vehicles -- the good and the bad. National Highway Traffic Safety Admin (2000)
Crash test results for the 2000 Cadillac Escalade 4x4 model. The Auto Channel (2000)
It has anti-skid brakes, of course, but the rear drum brakes are a disappointment on a luxury vehicle. Auto Revista (1999)
The interior space of this behemoth is just as big as the exterior would suggest, leaving plenty of room for five very comfortable passengers. Auto Revista (1999)
Satisfying this need is AutoTrac four-wheel drive that requires a tap of a button to shift the transfer case. This system features an Auto 4-Wheel Drive mode that allows the vehicle to cruise in two-wheel drive until wheel slippage is detected. Wheel spin is remedied by power automatically transmitted to the wheels with the most traction. Chicago Sun Times (1999)
The smooth four-speed automatic transmission shifts effectively, but fuel economy is only an estimated 12 mpg in the city and 16 on the highway. Epinions (1999)
See what fellow owners of the 1999 Cadillac Escalade think of their vehicles -- the good and the bad. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1999)
People wanted to know if it was bigger than the Suburban or Ford's new Excursion. Heck, no, it's a lot smaller, a full foot shorter than Suburban and about a foot and a half shorter than Excursion, which debuts this fall. National Highway Traffic Safety Admin (1999)

The OnStar communications system, Auto Trac multimode four-wheel drive, second-generation airbags, two theft-deterrent systems, and antilock brakes are some of the 1999 Cadillac Escalade's safety features. The Auto Channel (1999)
Escalade rides on a full truck chassis, specially tuned for a smooth, comfortable ride. The Auto Channel (1999)
Notwithstanding the 201.2 inch overall length (18 inches shorter than a Suburban) and 77 inch width, the Escalade drives much smaller than it is. With speed sensitive electronic variable-orifice power assist steering, the Escalade also feels more nimble than its overall size would suggest. The Car Connection (1999)
In radical departure from tradition, Cadillac adds a luxury truck. The Car Connection (1999)
Other than some lower plastic body cladding, the Escalade’s body is otherwise unchanged from that of the Tahoe/Yukon/Denali. What few changes there are include body-colored bumpers and a big grille that "drops" down on top of the front bumper — a styling cue all Cadillacs share. Woman Motorist (1999)
The Escalade is based on General Motors' full-size sport-utility platform and is the first truck-based vehicle in Cadillac's 96-year history.
