The Escalade has been completely redesigned for 2015. With the help of its 6.2L V8 engine that produces 420 horsepower and 460 lbs.-ft. of torque, it can tow up to 8,100 pounds or 3,675 kilos (basic version). The Escalade is a more luxurious version of the big SUVs from which it’s derived: the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon. Despite its size, the brand new Escalade is agile on the road and very comfortable thanks to a revamped suspension.
