It’s why we’ve created our own daring school of design that pushes steel way beyond its comfort zone. It’s why we pioneered a suspension technology so brilliantly effective that some of the world’s top supercars followed our lead. Inspired and humbled by all the great cars that came before us, we went all the way to Germany’s famed Nürburgring racetrack to prove ourselves against—challenging, and ultimately surpassing— Europe's most admired sport sedans. Red-blooded. Daring. Original. These are the kinds of luxury cars we build. It takes tenacity, a refusal to leave well enough alone. That is the difference between good and great. That is the difference between just making luxury cars, and making Cadillacs. 06 e s c a l a d e overview e sc a l a d e e sc a l a d e H Y B R I D e sc a l a d e e sv e sc a l a d e e X T how i c o n s bec ome i c ons . Maybe it’s the fact that they are instantly recognizable. Or that they come with a larger-thanlife presence. But to really define what creates an icon, you have to dig deeper.

The new Escalade Premium Collection is only the latest chapter in its storied run. It all adds up to the most acclaimed luxury SUV ever. After all, if you’re going to be an icon in this world, you'd better be able to back it up. 08 e s c a l a d e te c h n o lo g y rearview camera The rearview camera turns on automatically when your Escalade is placed in Reverse.

Seamlessly combining an advanced hybrid system and Active Fuel Management, this vehicle uses energy created by its gasoline engine and electricity generated by the hybrid’s electric motors.

We reserve the right, however, to make changes at any time, without notice, in prices, colors, materials, equipment, specifications, models and availability. Specifications, dimensions, measurements, ratings and other numbers in this catalog and other printed materials provided at the dealership or affixed to vehicles are approximates based upon design and engineering drawings and prototypes and laboratory tests. Your vehicle may differ due to variations in manufacture and equipment. Since some information may have been updated since the time of printing (11/11), please check with your Cadillac dealer for complete details. Any variations in colors shown are due to reproduction variation in the printing process. Cadillac reserves the right to lengthen or shorten the model year for any product for any reason, or start and end model years at different times.

E n g i n e s Cadillac products are equipped with engines produced by GM Powertrain or suppliers to GM worldwide. The engines in Cadillac products may also be used in other GM makes or models. T ir e S e a l a n t a n d C o m p r e ss o r Kit Depending on the model and Collection you choose, your vehicle will either come with a full-size spare tire or a tire inflation kit (the kit does not include a jack or spare tire). The tire sealant and compressor kit uses a liquid tire sealant to temporarily seal up to a 1/4-inch puncture in the tread area of the tire. After using the inflator kit, it is recommended to take the tire to an authorized dealer for inspection and repair as soon as possible but at least within 100 miles of driving. The tire sealant cannot seal and inflate sidewall damage, punctures larger than 1/4 inch, or a tire that has unseated from the wheel. The sealant can only be used on one tire one time before its expiration date. Ass e m b ly Cadillac vehicles and their components are assembled or produced by different operating units of General Motors, its subsidiaries or suppliers to GM worldwide. We sometimes find it necessary to produce Cadillac vehicles with different or differently sourced components than originally scheduled. Since some options may be unavailable when your vehicle is assembled, we suggest that you verify that your vehicle includes the equipment you ordered or, if there are changes, that they are acceptable to you.
