Presented the first official photos of the Cadillac Escalade
The flagship Cadillac model is likely to move to a new platform. Among the new options is expected a large screen in the cabin, as well as the ability to choose the front end design from two options.
Unofficial images of Escalade were “merged” into the network in December 2019. A few days later, Cadillac posted official shots, but only the new interior was captured in the pictures. And now, the next update of information from Cadillac: the first reliable footage of the front of the car.
The novelty will be presented to the public on February 4. The presentation will be held in Hollywood. As part of the event, the automaker will demonstrate the short film “Anthem”, shot by Oscar-winning director Spike Lee. On the published pictures, the emphasis is placed on him. The new Escalade plays the role of intriguing scenery. Most likely, the picture will be dedicated to the updated Escalade.
The official images show a difference from the spy photos uploaded in December. For example, the radiator grille in the previous frames was hatched. The official photos show chrome strips. There are no vertical headlights. The manufacturer said that the car will have a "chip" - a huge 38-inch monitor running on organic light emitting diodes.
Most likely, the T1 platform will be used. If the forecast comes true, the car will increase in size. Recall that the current SUV has the following dimensions: length - 5179 mm, wheelbase - 2946 mm. In addition, the use of the new platform implies the presence of an independent rear suspension.
According to unconfirmed information, the novelty will be equipped with a gasoline naturally aspirated V8 6.2 engine. The unit is expected to be upgraded. Now he is “delivering” 426 hp.
One of the reasons for the appearance of new items is the fall in popularity of the old version. For example, in the States in 2019, 4% fewer copies were sold than a year earlier. In the Russian market, the old Cadillac Escalade has become a real bestseller, so local motorists will certainly have the opportunity to acquire a novelty.
