The result is a truck that thinks it’s a sports car, or at least in a straight line. 0-60 miles per hour (mph) arrives in under 4.4 seconds, Cadillac says, and the Escalade-V will rocket down the quarter-mile in 12.74 seconds hitting a top speed of 110 mph.
Caddy’s wildest SUV will keep going after that, assuming you have the space for it: the top speed is electronically-limited to 125 mph. Of course, you may need nerves of steel in order to push the Escalade-V quite so far.
The automaker can’t provide those, but it can add a whole host of mechanical and electronic systems to harness that raw grunt. All-wheel drive is standard, and there’s an electronic limited-slip differential that adjusts power distribution according to things like road surface grip. Air suspension is standard, too, with GM’s well-esteemed Magnetic Ride Control to intelligently adjust the damping strength in real time.
Still, the most important part could be the flip side to all that pace. Cadillac has fitted the Escalade-V with Brembo front performance brakes to help haul it to a halt, and while our own review suggests a little extra on the anchors couldn’t hurt, it should be enough to keep you out of trouble if you succumb to the SUV’s Launch Control mode.
