2014 Cadillac Escalade – and Escalade Rentals
2014 ESCALADE
GM’s full-size truck and SUV programs are on indefinite hold. But that 
hasn’t stopped GM from thinking about the next-generation Escalade. This is, after all, the nameplate that unexpectedly kick-started Cadillac’s renaissance; it would be foolish to walk away from the brand equity. Besides, even if gas prices remain high, Escalade is one of the few GM nameplates whose customers are wealthy enough for relatively poor gas mileage not to be a deal-breaker.
One of the key questions Cadillac product planners have been wrestling with is whether the Escalade needs to be truck-based. One proposal for the next-gen Escalade used the Lambda platform that underpins Enclave/Acadia/Outlook/Traverse, but turned the engine 90 degrees, placing it longitudinally for rear-drive dash-to-axle styling. This proved too costly a tear-up of the chassis from the A-pillar forward, although it could become part of the design of the next-generation Lambdas, which should launch some time in 2013-2014 model years.
More likely, the next-gen Escalade will be switched to the existing Lambda platform, which will accept a transverse-mounted small-block V-8 under the hood (the Enclave almost got one). The rear-drive dash-to-axle stance that’s so critical in defining a luxury sedan seems less important in SUVs, but that doesn’t mean it’s a straightforward program.
The problem with Lambda for Cadillac is the structural steel under the skin would have to be re-engineered to give the Escalade a more formal roofline-and more vertical D-pillars-than any of the current Lambdas. The 
car also would need a less aggressively rising beltline and a new tailgate aperture. Those important stylistic issues-things that would ensure a Lambda Escalade is instantly perceived as a Cadillac-are not cheap.
So the three scenarios under discussion are to keep building the truck-based Escalade, replace it with a Lambda Escalade, or sell both. If Cadillac goes with Lambda, that doesn’t mean the death of the EXT. Remember the Zeta-based GMC Denali XT concept?
The Cadillac car rental comes standard with several safety features, including stability control with a rollover sensor, traction control, antilock disc brakes, side curtain airbags and an OnStar telematic system that acts as a connection to the outside world should an accident or emergency occur. Seating six, seven or eight people, the Escalade features second and third row seating. The third row stays put but the second row can be power flipped down to create more room for cargo or additional leg room in the back seat.
The interior of the Escalade is incredibly extravagant and features alloy trim, faux walnut inlays, triple-zone automatic climate control, soft leather upholstery, power-adjustable pedals, heated first and second row seats, remote starting and an optional navigation system. If that’s not enough, the Platinum trim upgrades amenities and includes 22-inch chrome wheels, a CTS-inspired front grille, rear-seat entertainment and upgraded leather upholstery
