I bought a used Cadillac Escalade Chicago about 8 months ago.  I am really happy with it, it’s a 2007 edition, performs well, has a nice interior, and a ton of cargo space.  Now, I find out that the 2013 Escalade is in the works and this certainly gets my attention.  This luxury SUV, which will hit the lots in about 3 years, will come just around the time I’ll probably be looking for something new….Hmmm!??!

The  “full size SUV” area is one that General Motors has focused away from in the past year or so, as they dealt with bankruptcy, fluctuating gas prices, and a bad economy.  Well, the sales of these large SUV’s is going up again and GM wants to continue to serve the loyal owners of the Chicago Escalade and other similar vehicles.  Thus, they are going forward with new models!

This is certainly good news, because the Esacalde is one great SUV.  Since the 2013 won’t be around for a few years yet, there aren’t any “set in stone” facts about this vehicle’s powertrain, interior, exterior and other features.  Let’s take a look at what the current model found at your used Cadillac Escalde Chicago dealership brings to the table!

The 2010 Escalade Premium SUV is one option for you.  It is engineered with high quality materials both inside and outside the SUV.  It features beautiful alloy wheels and the telltale front grille with the logo that screams “Hey, I am a Cadillac”.  The interior is made with high quality leather and there is also wood grain in the front dash near the control knobs.  Of course, there is a ton of cargo space and third row seating.  Watch out, because if you have a Escalade and like to travel with friends, they’ll want you to drive all the time!

The 6.2 L, V8 engine that produces 403 HP is sure to get you moving!  The 2010 Chicago Escalade comes with all wheel drive and mode select transmission.  A vehicle I would for sure feel safe driving in if I got caught in a winter storm (and here, in the Chi-town area, we certainly have plenty)!

GM is working hard to get things back on track, and the new 2013 Escalade is all part of the plan.  For now, I am going to enjoy my model and let the rest take care of itself!
