The next-generation Escalade. Is the arrival of the most anticipated generation o

crown jewel worthy merely of an introduction or should it be more of a celebrati

argue the latter considering the level of design, craftsmanship and detail that tra

the epitome of luxury. The charge of taking an American icon and elevating it to

new heights, which previously existed solely in the hearts and imagination of the

designers and artisans, was as exhilarating and monumental as the vehicle itself

the Cadillac of Escalades.

Safety starts with a strong foundation. And every Escalade has one, including a safety cage con

using ultra-high-strength steel alloys. Safety is further enhanced with crumple zones (shown in

designed to help protect you and your passengers when the unexpected happens. And since the

in numbers, the Escalade is equipped with seven strategically located airbags,1 including the fir

luxury SUV Front Center Airbag designed to help reduce the risk of injury to the driver and pas

a side-impact situation. Vehicle protection is serious business. So weve equipped the Luxury, P

and Platinum Collections with the seriously protective Theft-Deterrent Package, including glass

interior motion and inclination sensors, door lock shields, and a self-powered horn.

1. Always use safety belts and the correct child restraints for your childs age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with air bags and the Passenger SensingSystem, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint inthe front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active frontal air bag. Air bag inflation can cause severe injury or death to anyone too close to the bag whenit deploys. Be sure every occupant is properly restrained. See the Owners Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety information.
