North American drivers love huge SUVs and the Cadillac Escalade is the best buy in the segment according to The Car Guide once again. Supremely comfortable and quiet, it also impresses with potent engine options including a 682-horsepower, supercharged 6.2-litre V8 in Escalade-V trim. The non-supercharged version is rated at 420 horsepower. There’s a six-cylinder turbo-diesel, too, and this one generates as much torque as the naturally aspirated V8. A fully electric Escalade IQ is coming for 2025.
Pros
- Royal comfort
- Smooth and powerful V8
- Efficient Super Cruise system
