Vehicle Description

PRESENTING A BEAUTIFUL HARD TO FIND 2011 CADILLAC ESCALADE PREMIUM PACKAGE
1 OWNER - FLORIDA DRIVEN - CADILLAC CERTIFIED - FULL FACTORY WARRANTY
LOADED WITH PLENTY OF OPTIONS - NAVIGATION - REAR DVD - POWER EVERYTHING - 22" CHROME RIMS 

POWER SUNROOF - 3RD ROW SEATING - FULL LEATHER INTERIOR - POWER RUNNING BOARDS
AND MUCH MUCH MORE!

This Escalade is a Florida purchased Florida driven SUV and has never been exposed to the harsh roads, winters, snow, mountains, or overall rough driving conditions of up north. It has been very well maintained and comes with a Cadillac Certified Warranty!

Introduction

There are luxury SUVs and then there's this 2011 Cadillac Escalade. There are full-size SUVs and then there's the Escalade. You could buy any number of big, luxurious vehicles instead, but there's just no true substitute for Cadillac's celebration of power, brashness and wheels in a package so large the Amish could stick one in a river to power a grain mill.

At its core, this Escalade is the ultimate realization of GM's full-size truck and SUV platform. A beefy 403-horsepower V8 is standard and provides excellent acceleration for a truck that weighs nearly 3 tons. An adjustable suspension that's standard on all but the base Escalade optimizes ride and handling. Most notably, the Escalade's interior is of higher quality and looks entirely different from what you'll find in a related Chevy Tahoe or GMC Yukon. Truly, the Escalade lives up to its Cadillac badge. Sometimes, the only vehicle that'll do is an Escalade.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

This 2011 Cadillac Escalade is a full-size luxury SUV equipped with the Premium package. The Escalade Premium adds power-retractable running boards and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with a single roof-mounted display.

Powertrains and Performance

This 2011 Cadillac Escalade is powered by powerful a 6.2-liter V8 good for 403 hp and 417 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic with a manual-shift feature is standard. The Escalade features cylinder deactivation technology for improved fuel economy. 

Safety

Standard safety features on the Escalade include stability control, antilock disc brakes, traction control, front side-impact airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, rear parking sensors, a rearview camera and OnStar emergency telematics. A blind-spot warning system is standard on all but the base model.

Interior Design and Special Features

The Escalade's cabin, highlighted by supple leather upholstery and attractive wood finish and alloy trim, looks and feels more luxurious than what you'd find in a Tahoe or Yukon. The gauges and controls are well-placed and intuitive in their operation, and an upgraded navigation system for 2011 gives the Escalade the latest electronics at GM's disposal.

In its standard seven-passenger configuration, the Caddy features second-row captain's chairs and a three-person third-row bench seat. The 50/50-split third-row provides plenty of legrooms. 

Driving Impressions

On the road, the 2011 Cadillac Escalade delivers swift acceleration at all speeds thanks to its big 403-hp V8. Its handling inspires confidence, especially with the active Magnetic Ride Control suspension, though you'll never mistake the Escalade for anything other than a truck-based SUV. You will appreciate the smooth enjoyable ride quality, though, as it remains comfortable even with the larger 22-inch wheels.

    GM executive chief EV engineer says reducing cost of plug-in vehicles is 'huge priority'

    Mon, Mar 17 2014

    As we know, another major automaker investing heavily in electrified vehicles is General Motors, and it's doing things much differently than rivals BMW, Ford or Nissan. The Chevrolet Volt extended-range EV is a modest seller at its $35,000 sticker price but a huge hit with owners. The Chevy Spark BEV, still in limited availability, puts smiley faces on its owners and drivers. The just-introduced Cadillac ELR, a sharp-looking, fun-driving $76,000 luxocoupe take on the Volt's EREV mechanicals, has admittedly low sales expectations. With this interesting trio in showrooms and much more in the works, the third vehicle electrification leader I collared for an interview at Detroit's North American International Auto Show (see #1 and #2) was Pam Fletcher, GM's executive chief engineer, Electrified Vehicles. ABG: Why do your EREVs need four-cylinder power to extend their range when BMW's i3 makes do with an optional 650 cc two-banger? "We designed [the Volt and the ELR] to go anywhere, any time" - Pam Fletcher PF: I get that question all the time: why not something smaller? You don't really need that much. You use the electric to its ability, then you just need to limp. But we designed those cars to go anywhere, any time, and we don't want their performance to be compromised. If you're driving through the mountains, we don't want you to be crawling up grades, or to be limited on any terrain. So it's optimized to be able to travel literally the biggest grades and mountain roads around the globe at posted speeds. Because what if you can't? Another good reason: when the engine is on, you have to run it wide open throttle, max speed, most of the time. And while we can do a lot with acoustics, and the ELR has active noise cancelation, a small-displacement, low cylinder-count engine at high speed, high load all the time isn't something you want to live with. That's how we came up with the balance we did among the key factors of performance, NVH [noise, vibration and harshness] and range. ABG: Where you go from here? Is the range-extender engine due for an update? PF: We know and love the current Volt, and there is still a lot of acclaim about it, so we think it's a good recipe. But we are heavily in the midst of engineering the next-generation car, which I think everyone will love and be excited about.

    GM's Reuss explains why Cadillac is heading to New York

    Tue, 23 Sep 2014



    "We're going to take it to a place [New York] to change the way that we do business around the brand of Cadillac." - Mark Reuss
    General Motors product chief Mark Reuss elaborated Tuesday on Cadillac's move to New York in 2015, saying it will "elevate" the brand and allow it to reach new customers.

    2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

    Wed, 12 Dec 2012

    2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
    But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
