The 2022 Cadillac Escalade V has gone full MAD MAX!

Lurking in the basement of Cadillac’s headquarters is a team of people with an obvious dark sense of humor and a love of power and speed and their collective minds have come up with this, the ridiculously excessive 2023 Cadillac Escalade 4wd V-Series.   CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 0:52 Engine and Transmission 1:45 AWD System 2:02 Brakes and Wheels 2:36 Cargo Space 3:45 Price and Options 4:28 Interior and Tech 8:00 Driving 15:31 Verdict AWD System The Cadillac V has AWD and normally sends 50% of the power to each axle, however, under launch control conditions 70% of the available power shifts to the rear wheels. Expect somewhat of a Carolina squat when you mash the gas pedal.   Weighing as much as it does it better have good brakes and it does, at the front, it has 16.1-inch Brembo rotors and six-piston calipers.  Keeping the 6,217 lbs under control is GM’s Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control 4.0.  Under the hood The 2023Cadillac Escalade V utilizes GM's supercharged 6.2-liter V8 from the CT5-V Blackwing but with a few interesting changes. The Escalade V has a bigger 2.7-liter Eaton supercharger instead of the 1.7-liter setup in the CT5. The end result is 682 horsepower and 653 pound-feet of torque, all of it routed through the excellent 10-speed automatic transmission with a full manual mode.  That's 248 hp more than the non-V Escalade.  There's more good news, 80% of that available torque arrives at just 2,000 RPM, and from a standstill, the Escalade-V will hit 60 miles per hour in 4.3 seconds with launch control and the quarter-mile of 12.74 seconds.   It makes a great noise too, slightly more subdued than the CT5 Blackwing but noisy nonetheless, in fact, there's a Stealth mode just to prevent you from annoying the neighbors. Mash the go pedal and it blurts out a cacophony of sound, right up to the redline where it emits a crackle as it changes up. Back off the throttle and it releases a cackle of fast, sharp pops that go on for ages. The first time it happened I couldn't stop grinning. Drive Modes The V has six drive modes, Tour for everyday driving, Sport mode where steering response is tightened, suspension calibration is more responsive, and hydraulic dampers provide sporty performance ideal for dry roads. Next up is Snow/Ice for improved performance on slippery road surfaces. Tow/Haul for pulling a trailer or heavy load and My Mode where you can configure via the center display the suspension, steering, exhaust, engine sound, and brake feel. This is the mode where you can effectively stealth the exhaust noise. Last up is V Mode which is essentially turning everything up to eleven, including customizing the tuning of the engine shift settings, suspension, steering, exhaust, engine sound, brake feel, and PTM. 2023 Cadillac Escalade 4WD V Numbers BASE PRICE: $148,195 PRICE AS TESTED: $150,640 VEHICLE LAYOUT: Front-engine, 4WD, 7-passenger, 4-door SUV ENGINE: 6.2 Liter supercharged and inter-cooled 16-valve V-8 POWER: 682 hp @ 6,000 rpm TORQUE: 653 lb-ft @ 4,400 rpm TRANSMISSION: 10-speed automatic CURB WEIGHT: 6,217 lb 0-60 MPH: 4.3 seconds EPA CITY/HWY/COMB FUEL ECON: 11/16/13 mpg OUR OBSERVED FUEL ECONOMY 10.7 mpg CARGO SPACE: 25.5 ft3 behind 3rd third row, 63 ft3 behind 2nd row, 109.1 ft3 all seats folded flat PROS: Stupid fast for its size, superb interior, exhaust noise CONS: Very thirsty
