CADILL AC ESCAL ADE
The leader.
The legend.
Among luxury SUVs, Escalade simply has no equal. Its presence is both impressive
and irresistible. Its muscle and capability are renowned. It leads the industry in
innovation and technology with, among other things, the only available hybrid drive
system in any full-size luxury SUV.* Then, of course, there’s Escalade’s extraordinarily
luxurious cabin – spacious, elegant, superbly comfortable and thoughtfully equipped
with premium amenities. The conclusion is inescapable. For ordinary drivers, there
are ordinary vehicles. For drivers who insist on the best of everything, there’s Escalade.

As bold
As it gets.
When it comes to iconic style, robust performance and sheer sumptuousness, Escalade and Escalade ESV are at the
head of a very exclusive class indeed. The key differentiator is, how much space does your lifestyle require? Escalade
offers a stylish, very well-equipped cabin with generous interior room and comfort for seven fortunate occupants – eight
with the available second-row split-bench seat. Escalade ESV delivers all of that plus a longer wheelbase that contributes
to an even more comfortable ride, limousine-like legroom for your second- and third-row passengers and a massive 818 litres
more cargo space behind the third-row seat. In fact, Escalade ESV is the largest, most spacious luxury SUV you can buy.*
* Based on WardsAuto.com 2012 Large Luxury SUV segment and latest competitive data available at time of printing,

1 Measuring a commanding 5662 mm from bumper to bumper, Escalade ESV has a presence that is at once elegant
and imposing. The Escalade ESV cabin offers the most space for both passengers and cargo of any Cadillac model.

fob. Additional switches are located on the instrument panel and in the cargo area.

Technically,
iT’s in a class by iTself.
Imagine the beauty, luxury and muscular capability of Escalade, paired with exceptional fuel efficiency. That, in a nutshell, is the
story of Escalade Hybrid. Thanks to Cadillac’s innovative two-mode hybrid system – the only such technology available in any fullsize luxury SUV* – Escalade Hybrid has a superior fuel consumption rating than the sub-compact BMW 128i.** Yet this high-tech
Hybrid also delivers the impressive capabilities you expect from an Escalade so you can seat up to eight passengers or tow trailers
weighing as much as 2540 kg.† It’s a blend of efficiency, utility and exclusivity unmatched by any other vehicle on the road today.
* Based on WardsAuto.com 2012 Large Luxury SUV segment and latest competitive data available at time of printing.
** 2013 Escalade Hybrid fuel consumption ratings based on GM testing in accordance with approved Transport Canada test methods.
Competitive fuel consumption ratings based on Natural Resources Canada’s 2012 Fuel Consumption Guide. Your actual fuel consumption may vary.
† Maximum trailer-weight ratings are calculated assuming a base vehicle, except for any option(s) necessary to achieve the rating, plus driver.
The weight of other optional equipment, passengers and cargo will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow. See your Cadillac dealer for additional details.

system which deactivates 4 of the engine’s 8 cylinders,
giving you even better fuel efficiency.

FIG. 5: REGENERATIVE BRAKING
A regenerative braking system supplements Escalade
Hybrid’s conventional hydraulic braking system. It captures
some of the energy normally lost during braking and
coasting and returns it to the 300-volt nickel-metal hydride
Energy Storage System for future use.
FIG. 2: ELECTRIC POWER
While driving at low speeds or in stop-and-go traffic,
Escalade Hybrid may operate in zero-emission full-electric
mode. It also runs solely on electric power any time the
transmission is in “Reverse.”
FIG. 4: ENGINE POWER
When hauling heavy loads at higher speeds, engine-only
power can actually be more efficient than operating in
gasoline-electric hybrid mode. When such a situation
arises, Escalade Hybrid’s electronic Hybrid Optimizing
System can disengage the electric motors and power the
vehicle exclusively with the gasoline engine.

EscaladE stylE,
unsurpassEd vErsatility.
For discerning drivers who enjoy active, outdoor lifestyles, Cadillac’s versatile, reconfigurable Escalade EXT
has a unique appeal. One minute it’s a highly refined luxury SUV with sumptuous seating for five and a massive
secure covered cargo area. The next, with the standard MidgateTM behind the rear seat folded down, it’s a stylish,
superbly comfortable two-seat pickup truck with a 2.4-metre long cargo bed topped by a stowable three-piece
rigid cover. And should you need to transport even more gear, Escalade EXT is ready for virtually any towing
assignment, thanks to a standard heavy-duty trailering equipment package and a maximum trailer rating of 3402 kg.*
* Maximum trailer-weight ratings are calculated assuming a base vehicle, except for any option(s) necessary to achieve the rating, plus driver.
The weight of other optional equipment, passengers and cargo will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow. See your Cadillac dealer for additional details.

can be raised or lowered in seconds. No tools are required.

Luxury that
exceeds expectations.
In the Escalade cabin, the front bucket seats don’t just feature fine leather seating
surfaces. They’re also internally heated and cooled, for true four-season comfort. The
Bose® audio system is simply awesome, with ten speakers,* six separate channels and
stunningly vivid sound reproduction. Your preferred positions for the power adjustable
pedals, steering wheel, driver’s seat and exterior mirrors can all be programmed into
memory so they can be restored at the touch of a button after someone else has driven
your Escalade. It all adds up to an exceptionally rewarding driving experience.
* 8-speaker audio system included on Escalade EXT.
1 The added safety of a rear vision camera is standard on every Escalade model. It adds
confidence and control during parking manoeuvres or when hooking up a trailer.
2 Escalade and Escalade ESV’s first two seating rows feature reclining
bucket seats with supple perforated leather appointments.
The second-row seats offer passengers a choice of 3 heat settings,
while the front-row buckets are both heated and cooled.

Looks
that thriLL.
The available Premium Collection Appearance Package adds an even higher level
of drama and excitement to Escalade’s larger-than-life personality. Body-coloured
exterior accents, dual rectangular exhaust outlets and ultra-bright 22-inch
aluminum wheels highlight Escalade’s impressive performance capabilities. Other
key features include IntelliBeam ® headlights, which automatically toggle between
high and low beams when appropriate during night driving, and an innovative
Magnetic Ride Control® suspension that adjusts shock absorber damping up to
1000 times per second to help smooth the ride and sharpen the handling.
1 Models with the Premium Collection Appearance Package include
dramatic 22-inch wheels with painted accents,
shod with low-profile P285/45R22 tires.
2 The Premium Collection Appearance Package’s dual rectangular
stainless steel exhaust tips are the perfect complement
for Escalade’s powerful rear styling.
3 Choose the Premium Collection Appearance Package and your Escalade
will feature dramatic monochromatic exterior accents, including
the crossbars of the distinctive Escalade grille.

A more precious
kind of metAl.
Escalade Platinum, Escalade Hybrid Platinum and Escalade ESV Platinum were
created for those who believe that, where luxury is concerned, more is definitely
better. As you open the doors, assist steps power into place to ease your entry or exit.
Should a passenger wish to ride in the rear seating row, a power release for the foldand-tumble second-row seats facilitates their access. Even the cupholders are
exceptional. They’re designed to warm or chill your favourite beverage, as you desire.
In other words, everything has been attended to, down to the smallest detail.
1 Every Platinum model comes with a rear DVD entertainment system that
includes a pair of screens located in the front-row head restraints
and another pair mounted on the roof.
2 For your assistance as you enter and exit the vehicle, every
Platinum model includes power retractable assist steps.
3 The first- and second-row seats in Platinum models feature the high-end
luxury of supple Tehāma aniline leather seating surfaces.
The third-row seating areas are upholstered in
supple Nuance leather.

The besT
Technology wins.
Escalade’s uncanny performance, assurance and refinement all derive from some of the most sophisticated technology
the automotive industry has to offer. The 403-horsepower V8, for example, features Variable Valve Timing (VVT)
and Active Fuel Management ® systems, which help to optimize efficiency in a wide variety of operating conditions. Other
advanced systems, including full-function traction control, anti-lock brakes, StabiliTrak ® electronic stability control and
a standard full-time All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system, help to optimize traction and keep you in control in slippery conditions.
1
1 Escalade, Escalade ESV and Escalade EXT are powered by a 6.2L V8 that
generates 403 hp and 417 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s teamed with a 6-speed automatic
transmission and standard All-Wheel Drive (AWD).
2
2 When hauling heavy loads or towing a trailer, the Tow/Haul
mode integrated into Escalade’s transmission helps improve
performance and eliminate unnecessary shifts.

3 Sophisticated suspension geometry and Road-Sensing Suspension technology are standard equipment.
Hybrid and Platinum models feature Cadillac’s pioneering Magnetic Ride Control® suspension.

Peace of mind is
standard equiPment.
Behind the wheel of your new Escalade, you’ll feel confident that your luxury SUV is comprehensively designed
and equipped to protect you and your passengers. Escalade’s surprisingly easy, agile handling and full range
of crash-avoidance technologies help to keep you out of danger. Should a collision prove to be unavoidable,
the rigid steel body structure, front and side airbags and many other occupant protection features all help
reduce your risk of injury. Escalade is also the only full-size luxury SUV* with OnStar ®, which can
automatically dispatch emergency services to your exact location after a collision has taken place.**

Blind Zone Alert system† will signal you by displaying an icon in the exterior rear-view mirror.
