2. HOW ICONS
BECOME ICONS.
Maybe it’s the fact that they come with a larger-than-life presence. Or that
they’re renowned the world over. But to really define what creates an icon,
you have to dig deeper. And that’s where the Escalade cements its status.
By any measure, it continues to redefine the category.

3. From its dramatic grille to its vertical
LED taillamps, the Escalade is iconic in
every detail. Its commanding presence is
backed by a 6.2L V8 engine that delivers
tremendous yet refined power. A comfortable
ride is ensured by available Magnetic Ride
Control—a class-exclusive suspension
system. No matter which Escalade model
you choose—Escalade, ESV or EXT—you’re
assured of exceptional towing capability.
Add in the availability of All-Wheel Drive,1
and you have total driving confidence. Inside,
supple surroundings are highlighted by
leather trim, burled accents and spacious
seating for up to eight in Escalade and ESV
models. It all adds up to an SUV experience
unlike any other.
ADAPTIVE REMOTE START

EFFICIENCY, POWER AND LUXURY
COME TOGETHER. BRILLIANTLY.
ESCALADE HYBRID PLATINUM EDITION / White Diamond Tricoat
From the most acclaimed luxury
SUV ever comes the intelligently
efficient Escalade Hybrid.
Seamlessly combining an advanced
hybrid system and Active Fuel
Management, the Escalade Hybrid
uses two types of power: energy
created by its gas engine and
electricity generated by electric
motors. The result? The best fuel
economy in its class1
with an EPA-
estimated 20 mpg city/23 mpg
highway, all while delivering the
sophistication and refinement that
has made Escalade iconic.

MOR E SPACE. MOR E CAPABILIT Y.
IN OTHER WORDS, MORE ESCAL ADE.
The Escalade ESV’s extended wheelbase adds
length (20" longer than the Escalade) that gives
it spacious seating for up to eight adults and even
more cargo1
capacity. Navigating is made easier
with the rearview backup camera display, while
the available Side Blind Zone Alert2
built into the
exterior rearview mirrors alerts you when another
vehicle has entered your blind spot. For those times
when you need more space, the ESV delivers full-
size accommodations along with the luxury for
which Escalade is famous.
POWER LIFTGATE
The power liftgate can be opened or closed using
either the key fob or a switch in the overhead
console. Additional controls on the liftgate also
allow one-finger operation from the back.

always check the SBZ A display and the side and inside mirrors, look over your shoulder for
vehicles and hazards, and activate your turn signal.

only its leather and burled accents, but also its ability
to accommodate just about anything. In fact, it offers
the most cargo room in its class—137.4 cu. ft., almost
30 cu. ft. more than Escalade. The reclining second-
row bucket seats have heated seat cushions and

15. In some ways, it defies logic: A full-size
luxury SUV that’s quicker than the smaller
and lighter Mercedes-Benz C300 Sport
Sedan. Adding to its formidable presence
on the road, the Escalade’s 403 HP 6.2L
V8 creates a vehicle with immense power at
your disposal. Among its fuel-saving features
is Variable Valve Timing that controls the
valves during intake and exhaust, enabling
the engine to operate more efficiently.1
Available All-Wheel Drive and a rear
locking differential get all 403 HP to the
pavement with confidence. Once on your
way, available Magnetic Ride Control
helps maintain a balanced ride. In the
time it takes you to blink, this suspension
system has monitored the road 1,000 times.
Magnetic particles suspended in a fluid then
react to a magnetic field and instantly align
to provide the proper damping.

A CHISELED SUIT OF ARMOR.
1. Always use safety belts and the correct restraint for your child's age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with the Passenger Sensing
System, 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 in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with a passenger air bag. See the Owner 's Manual and child safety seat instructions for more
safety information. 2. Visit onstar.com for coverage map, details and system limitations. Ser vices var y by model and conditions. OnStar acts as
a link to existing emergency ser vice providers.
It starts with a protective safety cage constructed with ultra-
high-strength steel alloys and other highly advanced materials
for exceptional rigidity and strategically placed crumple zones.
Then we add preventive safety features like the StabiliTrak
Electronic Stability Control System with traction control that's
designed to improve vehicle stability on most road surfaces,
especially during emergency maneuvers. A sophisticated antilock
braking system (ABS) and Electronic Braking Force Distribution
help balance stopping power between the front and rear brakes.
In addition to eight standard airbags,1
there’s also the confidence
that comes with front safety belt pretensioners that lock the
safety belt to help better secure occupants during a crash.
Additionally, rollover mitigation sensors that detect a rollover
trigger the pretensioners when air bags are opening.
For added peace of mind, there’s OnStar®2
with Automatic
Crash Response. In most crashes, built-in sensors in your vehicle
can automatically send an alert to an OnStar Advisor, who is
immediately connected into your car to help.
REARVIEW BACKUP CAMERA
Parking is made easier with the rearview backup camera. It turns on
automatically when your Escalade is placed in reverse. It displays a
live image of the area behind the vehicle on the navigation screen
and includes guiding lines to help you when backing up.
18. SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT
Side Blind Zone Alert1
lets drivers know when
something is in their blind spot. Warning lights
in the mirrors alert the driver to potential danger.
Wish you had an extra set of eyes? Now you do.
EXPERIENCE SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT
1. Before making a lane change, always check the SBZ A display, check the side and inside rear mirrors,
look over your shoulder for vehicles and hazards, and star t the turn signal.
20. PLATINUM INTERIOR
The Platinum Edition is filled with impressive
amenities. From heated and cooled front seats to a
premium 10-speaker Bose®
Cabin Surround®
sound
system and a wood-trimmed heated steering wheel,
it’s the ultimate expression of Escalade luxury.
We considered every detail when it came to the Platinum Edition. Experience the
richness of its glove-soft Aniline leather that wraps heated and cooled front seats.
The fine craftsmanship is also evident in the leather-wrapped instrument panel top
pad and upper door trim, as well as the distinctive grain in the olive ash and burled
walnut wood trim with decorative inlays. We’ve even considered your favorite
beverages and provided heated and cooled cupholders. The Platinum Edition is
the most luxurious Escalade we have ever made. And, given our history, that’s a
considerable achievement.
OLIVE ASH AND BURLED WALNUT WOOD TRIM ANILINE LEATHER SEATING SURFACES
EVEN THE PINNACLE HAS
A HIGH POINT.
21. THE PREMIUM EDITION:
EXCLUSIVE BODY-COLOR GRILLE
The bold, iconic front is accented with a grille that
seamlessly matches the exterior color for a sleek
and seamless appearance.
THE PREMIUM EDITION:
With the available Premium Collection, the Escalade makes a powerful statement
both in its styling and upscale appointments. Outside, monochromatic exterior accents
and integrated dual-exhaust outlets lend a distinct appearance. Inside, a Rear Seat
Entertainment system with a roof-mounted 8" screen (two screens in ESV models) and
provides rear-seat passengers with hours of entertainment. This Collection also features
Magnetic Ride Control suspension to help provide a smooth, controlled ride. To top it
off, 7-spoke 22" ultra-bright machined-finish wheels and the convenience of power-
retractable assist steps further complement what is already an impressive package.
INTEGRATED DUAL-OUTLET EXHAUST 22" WHEELS
SAY EVERYTHING
WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING.
22. DRIVER-FOCUSED INTERIOR
The power-tilt adjustable steering wheel features
integrated controls for audio and cruise. Both driver
and passenger seats are 14-way power adjustable,
and the driver’s seat memory function stores the
preferred settings for up to two drivers.
Step inside Escalade with the available Luxury Collection, and you’ll find a
beautifully appointed cabin with amenities like a power-adjustable, wood-trimmed
heated steering wheel—a welcome feature on a chilly morning. You’ll also appreciate
the convenience of second-row power-release seats that make it easier for rear
passengers to enter. There’s also revolutionary Magnetic Ride Control suspension
that helps smooth out the ride. Complementing the Escalade’s commanding presence
are striking 22" chromed aluminum wheels. And overhead, there’s a power-sliding
sunroof that opens to the heavens above.
