I never thought the Escalade was worth the premium over a Denali...

... until I saw this. Then looking at the rest of the interior it became clear it is head and shoulders above the other trims.

I think this is the first model that it's worth the Cadillac name. Imo the previous body styles were rebadged yukons.

I agree and am leaning that way at the moment... There are just sooo many more features, refinements, and upgrades that come with the Esc for the price. Especially if the Denali has an upcharge for the Duramax (Which the Esc does NOT...). If you can spend 83 then more than likely you can spend 93 and get a lot more vehicle. Another point that goes along with this is 1 more year of complete bumper to bumper warranty, PU and delivery service to your home for any service needs, and a decent loaner vehicle for as long as they need to keep yours. None of which you get on the Denali...

I would slightly disagree. Now I can see where that perspective comes from but the reason we bought our '11 Escalade over the Denali was because of the differences. Mainly the dash is quite different, there's more leather covered interior pieces and I like the look of the Escalade much more than the Denali of that generation. Also ours has dark brown seats and floor which only come in the Platinum trim. And much less wood grain which I like lol

Now was it worth the extra price? Well in the used market most definitely because there almost no difference price wise with the Denali.

Now with new cars that's certainly debatable but I'm glad to see the Escalade separating itself more from the others and being more unique to Cadillac

Finally distinguished enough to warrant the price difference. The stereo, standard air suspension, and the displays would have been enough to warrant the price, but there are further differentiation that definitely place it in a class above even the Denali.

Look closer. That's the rear view.

It is a sweet ride, but would have been solid 15k more sticker over my White high country from what I just built online. air ride , MRC, Adaptive Cruise, and the advanced trailing features are not even available on the base luxury package. You have to step up to premium luxury and add the Perf and drive assistance. Gets to 97k real quick and that is bit more than I wanted to spend.

either way still doesn't matter to me I can add that option to my current vehicle with a piece of wire. (reverse camera signal to accessory positive) and I could add a front view for about $30 off of amazon, why pay Cadillac $100k for the option

The point of this thread is that buying a new Yukon vs. a new Escalade. Not "current vehicle..." My current vehicle is a Tesla Model X that already has the ability to show the rear camera while driving. On a 17" screen.

My other vehicle is a 2016 Denali which was an easy choice over the not-worth-it (IMHO) Escalade.

I still don’t get it. Doesn’t the rear view mirror screen do that?

so 80k versus 100k for a couple extra bells and whistles is the question, easy for me. 1. if I have the money and can burnt it at will sure why not 100k caddy it is. 2. I have the money but am a bit more frugal the Denali is sold.

It's purely a "I didn't know how useful this would be until I used it" option. Especially trailering.

Agreed on differentiating one rig from another. I see new rigs all over, especially trucks that are 50-70k for decent options and wonder how so many folks can afford them. I can’t so I’ll wait a few years for them to come in my neighborhood. Either one will work.

Gotcha. I don’t really trailer so that’s probably why it’s a head scratcher to me.

I’m gonna start flipping off the back of Escalades now. From my Denali lol
