Inside the walls of these SUVs, you’ll find luxuries fit for royalty. Both models offer three rows of seating, so you’ll be able to bring the whole gang along with you. Whether you’re heading around the corner or out of state, everyone can stay connected and comfy for the entire ride.
Space comes in spades with these SUVs. They offer just about the same amount of legroom in all three rows, topping out at a matching 44.5 inches of legroom up front. They also offer a whopping 38.2 inches of headroom in the third row, so everyone can stretch out regardless of where they’re seated.
There’s also plenty of comfort and convenience for everyone to enjoy. What happens when someone gets thirsty? In the Cadillac Escalade, you can pull out an ice-cold refreshment right from the available console refrigerator. It comes with a freezer mode that can chill the compartment down to 23 degrees Fahrenheit.
Both the Escalade and the Suburban provide a similar lineup of infotainment features. They both give you access to technologies including:
- Bluetooth®
- Apple CarPlayâ„¢
- Android Autoâ„¢
- SiriusXM®
The difference is that the Escalade provides a better way to control it all. It’s available with a 38-inch, curved OLED display with twice the pixel density of a 4K TV. It encompasses both the driver information display and the infotainment display. The best you can expect with the Suburban is a separate 10.2-inch infotainment screen and a 12-inch driver information display.
In a behemoth SUV like the Cadillac Escalade or the Chevy Suburban, you expect to enjoy a powerful performance. That’s exactly what you’ll get with either model. Let’s glance under their respective hoods to see which model packs more of a punch.
A 6.2L V8 is available with both models. This powerhouse pumps out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The only difference is that this power comes standard with the Cadillac Escalade, while it’s only available with an upgrade on the Suburban.
Both models are also available with a diesel engine that will provide superior hauling strength and long-range efficiency. The 3.0L DuraMax® Turbo Diesel kicks out 277 horsepower and a thumping 460 lb-ft of torque.
You’ll glide over every bump and road imperfection with Magnetic Ride Control. This system is available with both SUVs. It reads the road up to 1,000 times per second and adjusts the damping and suspension accordingly.
You’ll be well protected in your sanctuary thanks to the litany of safety and driver-assistance features both the Cadillac Escalade and the Chevy Suburban bring to the table. Whether you’re flying solo or have the whole crew along for the ride, you can hit the road with complete confidence.
The Cadillac Smart System equips the Escalade with a long list of standard safety technologies. They include:
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Safety Alert Seat
- Rear Seat Reminder
- HD Rear Vision Camera
Thanks to Chevy Safety Assist, the Suburban comes with many of the same systems. Both models also provide standard Teen Driver, which helps encourage better driving habits by limiting certain vehicle features while your family’s up-and-coming driver’s key fob is in use.
Super Cruise™ is another driver-assistance feature both models share. This optional hands-free driving technology works on compatible roads. It steers to maintain lane position or to change lanes, and it also maintains a variable speed to keep with the flow of traffic. It even monitors your attention levels to ensure you’re still staying dialed into the drive.
Now that you know what these two SUVs bring to the table, it’s clear to see that the Escalade has the advantage when it comes to power, connectivity, and convenience. If that sounds like what you need out of your next vehicle around Lubbock, Amarillo, and Midland, TX, then the Escalade is the right one for you.
