2022 Cadillac Escalade - Exterior and interior Details (Luxury Large SUV)

∂

2021 Cadillac Escalade Starting at: $77,790 Highs High-tech cabin, suitably upscale, gutsy V-8 engine. Lows Eye-popping price tag, big thirst for gasoline, up-level version of GMC and Chevy siblings are almost as nice. Verdict Buyers who view the Escalade as a status symbol will be delighted by the latest generation of Cadillac's flagship SUV. Overview Once upon a time, back in the late 1990s, General Motors slapped a Cadillac grille on a GMC Yukon—and the rest is history. The 2021 Cadillac Escalade will mark the model's fifth generation and this new one is head and shoulders above the original in terms of luxury, style, and technology. Borrowing elements from the Escala concept car from 2016, the new Escalade offers visual panache worthy of its price tag. Two engines are offered—a familiar 6.2-liter V-8 and a new turbo-diesel inline-six—both hooked up to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Inside, a series of clever curved OLED displays takes the Escalade's dashboard to the digital realm, serving as the gauge cluster and infotainment display in one slick assembly. What's New for 2021? The 2021 Escalade has undergone a thorough redesign, complete with a new independent rear suspension, savvier interior technology, prettier styling, and a new optional diesel-powered engine. Pricing and Which One to Buy Luxury: $77,790 Premium Luxury: $84,790 Sport: $87,490 Premium Luxury Platinum: $101,290 Sport Platinum: $102,190 To truly deck out the Escalade in its best features, go for the Premium Luxury Platinum trim. It adds semi-aniline leather, 16-way power-adjustable front seats with massage, soft-close doors, and an AKG audio system with 36 speakers. It also comes standard with a self-parking feature, a head-up display, and adaptive cruise control. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Cadillac's biggest SUV is powered by either a 6.2-liter V-8 engine that makes 420 horsepower and can deactivate half of its cylinders when cruising to save fuel or a turbo-diesel 3.0-liter inline-six. A 10-speed automatic transmission will be standard with both engines, and buyers will be able to choose from rear- or all-wheel-drive setups based on their individual needs. As with its siblings, the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and the GMC Yukon, the 2021 Escalade now rides on an all-new platform with an independent rear suspension to help provide a smoother ride. Higher-end models also offer an air suspension with adaptive dampers that use computer-controlled shock absorbers. At our test track, the long-wheelbase Escalade ESV with the V-8 engine sprinted to 60 mph in just 5.9 seconds. The diesel engine sounds less refined than the V-8, but for some buyers that compromise is worth the improved fuel economy and low-end torque. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG The EPA fuel-economy estimates for the 2021 Escalade are lower than the 2020 model–at least for those powered by the 6.2-liter V-8. Rear-wheel drive examples are rated at 15 mpg city, 20 mpg highway, and 17 mpg combined; adding all-wheel drive drops each of those numbers by 1 mpg. The 2020 model carried ratings as high as 23 mpg highway and the Escalade's key rival–the Lincoln Navigator–offers more efficient ratings too. Opting for the turbo-diesel engine should make a difference, but estimates haven't been reported for that model yet. We're looking forward to testing both powertrains on our 200-mile highway fuel-economy test route. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo As the flagship of the Cadillac lineup, the 2021 Escalade ups the ante on in-cabin luxury. Faux leather is used in the base Luxury trim, but all other trims receive the real deal, with Platinum models getting soft semi-aniline hides. Leather-covered dash and door panels, aluminum speaker grilles, and adjustable interior ambient lighting provide an upscale appearance. Like the outgoing model, both a standard and long-wheelbase model are offered, the latter of which yielding more legroom for third-row riders and additional cargo space. Infotainment and Connectivity In addition to the extra luxury features in the cabin, Cadillac has completely tricked out the Escalade in the electronics department. The main showpiece is the digital dashboard that's comprised of three curved OLED displays that layer on top of one another to create a cool 38-inches of combined digital real estate, some of which serves as the driver's gauge cluster while the rest projects the CUE infotainment system for the driver and passenger. The collection of displays is reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz GLS-class's giant monolithic infotainment setup, but the Escalade's stacked setup creates depth and looks less tacked-on than the Benz.

2021 GMC Yukon First Test: Bigger—But Is It Better?

The Sierra pickup truck may be the heart of GMC, but the Yukon has always been the soul. The original GMC Yukon Denali became a pop culture icon soon after its debut for 1999—given as much street cred as its big brother, the Cadillac Escalade. The new, fifth-generation 2021 GMC Yukon attempts to reinject that bit of cachet into the line with an updated Denali and a new-to-the-Yukon AT4 trim, both of which we had a chance to review.

Like the prior four generations, the 2021 GMC Yukon and extended-wheelbase Yukon XL share much with the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and 2021 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV. But from the curbside view, at least, GMC has successfully differentiated the conservatively styled 2021 Yukon from the edgy Tahoe and Suburban and blocky Escalade, especially in the SUV‘s AT4 trim. The updated Yukon Denali takes things a step further, sporting both distinctive sheetmetal and a trim-specific dashboard, leaving the AT4 and the rest of the Yukon line to essentially share a cabin design with the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban.

New GMC Yukon Specs: What You Need to Know

Like humanity, the Yukon, Tahoe, and Escalade are all the same under the skin. Riding on a new hybrid unibody-on-frame platform, with—for the first time in Yukon history—an independent rear suspension, the Yukon grows by 4.9 inches in wheelbase and 6.1 inches in overall length, allowing GMC to significantly increase third-row passenger legroom and cargo capacity (the not-yet-driven Yukon XL gets stretched by 4.1 inches in wheelbase and 0.9 inch in overall length compared to before). Power in our Yukon AT4 test model comes courtesy of GM’s largely carryover 5.3-liter V-8, which makes 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired to a new-for-2021 10-speed automatic transmission, relegating the old six-speed slushbox to the cheapest of GMC Sierra pickups. Four-wheel drive is standard on the off-road-oriented Yukon AT4, though all- and rear-wheel drive are available elsewhere in the lineup.

The Yukon Denali shares its powertrain with the Escalade—a mostly unchanged 6.2-liter V-8/10-speed-auto combo with four-wheel drive. Power remains the same as 2020, with 420 horses and 460 lb-ft of torque. For 2021, the 6.2-liter V-8 is exclusive to the Yukon Denali, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see it show up under the hood of the Yukon AT4 in the coming years as the automaker attempts to expand and elevate that particular sub-brand, which stands as the rugged and sporty alternative to the Denali’s upscale pretensions.

Not coming to the Yukon AT4 (but available for the Yukon SLE, SLT, and Denali) is the new-for-2021—and as of yet untested—Duramax turbo-diesel 3.0-liter I-6. The engine and its associated hardware, which makes 277 horsepower and 420-lb-ft of torque, won’t fit in the Yukon AT4 due to its distinct front fascia, which features a nipped-and-tucked chin to boost the off-roader’s approach angle.

Optional and equipped on both our Yukon AT4 and Denali examples is arguably the biggest news for 2021: GM’s new Air Ride adaptive suspension system. Combining electromagnetic dampers with air springs, the new tech blends the ability of the system’s MagneRide dampers to rapidly adapt to various road and drive conditions with the air suspension’s variable ride height and load-leveling capability in an effort to further improve the utility of what’s already an exceptionally versatile SUV.

How Does the 2021 GMC Yukon Drive?

Despite the models’ different powertrains and use cases, the Yukon AT4 and Yukon Denali drive pretty similarly. Somewhat unexpectedly, though, the Yukon AT4, equipped with the smaller V-8 and the optional Air Ride suspension (but saddled with 20-inch wheels and off-road tires) was the more enjoyable model to wheel around. We’ve never been fans of GM’s 5.3-liter V-8, which in the last-gen Yukon seemed to be better at making noise than increasing forward momentum, but the new 10-speed auto seemingly cures those ills. Its tight ratio spread makes the most of the 5.3’s segment-worst power output and really helps it punch above its weight.

Like a teacher’s pet, the 10-speed always has the right answer (and gear) for the task at hand. The Yukon AT4’s powertrain even handles a trailer well, with a decent amount of passing power on tap and exceptional shift behavior from the transmission when dragging along approximately 4,000 pounds’ worth of Airstream camper. That was about half of the AT4’s 8,200-pound towing capacity.

The Yukon Denali’s big 6.2-liter V-8 is no slouch, either, but at the same time, it doesn’t quite feel as lively as does the 5.3. Part of that, no doubt, has to do with the couple hundred extra pounds the Denali is carrying, but we suspect taller transmission gearing in the Denali may be partially to blame, too. Unless you’re towing heavy trailers regularly, Yukon AT4 buyers needn’t feel like they’re missing out on the 6.2-liter V-8.

When it comes to ride quality, the Yukon AT4 gets the slight edge on its big brother, while the Denali scores points back for handling. Both Air Ride–equipped Yukons are prone to transmitting more impact harshness into the cabin than expected, but aided by its smaller 20-inch wheels and cushier tire sidewalls, the AT4 dispatches the rough stuff a bit better. The Denali, riding on optional 22-inch wheels, has a tendency to find bumps and rough patches the AT4 doesn’t notice. Although its off-road-oriented tires help improve the Yukon AT4’s ride quality, the taller rubber also hurt its steering feel, which is direct but numb. The Denali, on the other hand, is pleasantly competent on a good road when in Sport mode, with quick, progressive steering, good feedback, and minimal body roll.

With no added power but some added weight, it wasn’t surprising to see where the test numbers fell when we hooked the Yukon AT4 up to our gear at the test track. The new Yukon AT4, weighing in at 5,912 pounds, fell just behind the pace of the last Yukon we tested, a 5.3-powered 2015 Yukon SLT 4×4 weighing in at 5,633 pounds. The new Yukon accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 15.5 seconds at 90.6 mph, whereas the old model needed 6.9 seconds to hit 60 mph and 15.4 to clear the quarter-mile at 90.0 mph.

Our 60-to-0-mph braking test took 129 feet for the 2021 Yukon and 125 for the 2015 model. (For the record, the brakes on both Yukons we evaluated felt wooden and stiff, with little initial bite.) Thanks to a stability-control system that isn’t fully defeatable (a rarity in a GM), the new Yukon also performed worse than its predecessor on the figure eight; it lapped our course in 30.6 seconds at 0.51 g average, versus 27.5 seconds at 0.65 g. We’d expect a non-AT4 5.3-powered 2021 Yukon to improve by a second at most on the figure eight, and remain steady in the zero-to-60 and quarter-mile tests. Similarly, we haven’t yet tested the Yukon Denali, but we’d expect it to shed about a second from the AT4’s acceleration and handling results.

Despite the new transmission, the 5.3-liter Yukon’s EPA-estimated fuel economy is unchanged at 18 mpg combined; Denali four-wheel-drive models drop 1 mpg this year to 16 mpg combined.

What’s the GMC Yukon’s Interior Like? How’s Its Cargo Space?

The new Yukon’s interior is a significant step up from the fourth-gen model, but that’s not to say there isn’t room for improvement. First the good: It’s positively enormous. The new Yukon is the first of its kind to comfortably fit adults in its third row. It’s also the first to successfully fit passengers in the third row and a substantial amount of luggage—in this case, four airline-friendly rollaboard bags (done without stacking the bags on top of each other, too).

As far as design goes, the Yukon Denali’s is more successful than the AT4’s. With cross-stitched baseball-glove-like leather, ash trim that’s as nice to touch as to look at, and a remarkably crisp high-resolution infotainment display, the Yukon Denali mostly feels the luxe truck that it is. Because the Denali makes up the bulk of Yukon sales, GMC decided to make its dash design exclusive, leaving the rest of the Yukon line (including the AT4) to share most of its cabin with the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban lineup. We think that was probably a mistake. Despite the addition of aluminum trim, acoustic glass, and GMC-exclusive upholstery patterns, the Yukon AT4’s cabin doesn’t look or feel noticeably higher-quality than the less expensive Tahoe and Suburban Z71 models we also had on hand for evaluation. GMC notes Yukon customers don’t cross-shop with Chevrolet, but that doesn’t mean the two SUVs shouldn’t be compared.

Despite the Yukon Denali’s unique dash, both it and the AT4 still share far more with the Tahoe line than they ought to. Switchgear, for instance, on the Yukons is identical in both placement and quality to the Tahoe line. Worse, the Yukon shares the Chevy SUV’s shotgun approach to button placement. We wish some thought—literally any thought—was put into how and where the Yukon’s controls were placed. Tailgate, sunroof, center console, and seat buttons, for instance, are on the ceiling. Drive modes, 4WD selector, headlights, heads-up display controls, start-stop, parking—basically everything else—is haphazardly placed to the left of the steering wheel, below the driver’s eye line. The most annoying part is that the headlight, drive mode, and suspension height knobs are literally identical (they’re actually repurposed HVAC knobs, but we digress), and so if you’re trying to adjust drive modes by feel—like to switch into Sport mode, for instance—there’s an equal chance you’ll turn your headlights off, or raise the suspension instead.

How Much Does the 2021 GMC Yukon Cost?

Pricing for the 2021 Yukon doesn’t change much from past years, with the SUV’s base price rising just $100 to $51,995. Yukon Denali prices don’t shift much, either—rear-drive models start at $69,695, a $700 increase versus last year. The Yukon AT4 starts at $66,095. All-wheel drive is a $3,000 extra on all trims but the AT4, where four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case is standard (the Denali can be had with rear- or four-wheel drive, while four-wheel drive can be added to all-wheel-drive-equipped Yukon SLE and SLT models by adding the $565 Max Trailering package). The long-wheelbase Yukon XL adds another $2,700 to the GMC’s list price.

The as-tested price for our loaded Yukon AT4 was $76,155, whereas our loaded Yukon Denali with 4WD stickered for $84,720. It bears repeating: An identically equipped (save for the sheet metal) Chevy Tahoe Z71 can be had for $4,320 less than the Yukon AT4, while a Tahoe High Country equipped similarly to our Yukon Denali tester can be had for $81,840. Also worth pointing out: An Escalade equipped similarly to our Yukon Denali tester will set you back $96,545.

Although more separates the Yukon lineup from its stablemates than ever before, the buyer unafraid of cross-shopping both in-house GM brands and rival automakers may find a better value elsewhere. That being said, the 2021 Yukon is the most convincing effort we’ve seen from GMC in quite a long time. It remains to be seen whether the new Denali and AT4 can capture the public’s imagination in the same way the original Yukon Denali did more than two decades ago, but the fifth-gen model is certainly a step in the right direction.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CROSSOVER EVERY SINGLE CAR DESIGN

In what can be a completely insightful exercising for transportation designers, each us of a-particular and the world over, the men at NeoMam Studios have superimposed as many as 25 photos of cars within distinct, separate classes to create an image of “the common vehicle”. This amalgamation of fronts and rears is interesting as it sees no logo, it sees no charge, and it sees no cultural or finances constraints. All it's far, is a visual mash-up of multiple vehicles across multiple brands to create something homogeneous. The “average vehicle” collection does two exciting things. It A. Shows us what’s commonplace between automobiles of categories, and B. Shows us how a few manufacturers have also tried to be subtly exceptional. There’s a wonderful similarity in, for example, the taillight layout of a Pickup as opposed to a Sedan, or the grille on a Convertible versus the grille on a Crossover. It’s crucial for transportation designers to understand these similarities and variations in car designs, so that it’s a lot easier to interrupt the mould of layout and create some thing really new and daringly exclusive. Let’s check how those average cars look, and the way designers of the destiny can break this pattern of predictability.

The Average Pickup Pickups are the fine-selling motors in USA and are the strong backbone of Ford and GM’s commercial enterprise. Considering that essentially the whole international pickup market is US-targeted, it’s no surprise that size is the whole lot on the subject of the common front. The glossy traces of Japanese and European models, just like the Isuzu D-Max or Mercedes X-Class are toughened out with the more rugged, boxed look of the likes of the GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado. The common rear of a pickup shows pretty some competing factors seeking to muscle thru. A complete rear-mild pillar on each facets wins out over more minimalist processes, like at the F-a hundred and fifty. The common pickup may also journey plenty better than might be predicted, sticking to its original operating automobile roots as opposed to happening the road of many modern variations which often appear more cause on looking like performance cars than carrying a load of stakes.

The Average UTE Where would we be without the liked UTE? The rest of the world considers them a piece of an anomaly but here at domestic they reign splendid, so much so that pretty much every producer selling in Australia gives a UTE model. With UTEs’ fronts ranging from compacts or saloons, just like the Jumbuck, to commercials just like the VW Caddy, all the manner to full on American-fashion pickups inside the mold of the HiLux, the common front is quite a combination of patterns. What wins out is the shape of lower riding saloon, however with sterner lines and a flattened bonnet giving its appearance a hint of American muscle. Though UTEs are all about birthday party at the front and business at the again, the average rear is tremendously heavy-duty, looking exactly like what a saloon/pickup cross ought to. There are recommendations of the facet bars and tarp and Tonneau cover helps that set UTEs aside from their American cousins however through the looks of things the average UTE might have carrying capacity to healthy any of them.

The Average Hatchback Though everyone may have their favorites for extraordinary motives, hatchbacks usually follow a formulaic pattern, which became why it became wonderful whilst some strong capabilities shone thru in spite of being averaged out. Its height to width ratio, as an instance, makes it lots taller than one might assume, which would recommend that producers had been quietly top notch-sizing hatchback fashions to meet current tastes while still striving for them to match into “small” automobile categories. This is also borne out within the bonnet length, that's in step with a smaller engine housing, however appears to be extraordinarily tiny as compared to the rest of the car’s dimensions. The common rear is also an eye fixed-opener for hatchback aficionados. Gone is the sporty fastback fashion of the mid-00s and in is a far greater reserved, Yaris-style instantly rear. Though that doesn’t mean that the sporty nature of hatchbacks has been absolutely eroded, the averaging out also gives you a twin exhaust machine to maintain the horsepower ticking over.

The Average Sedan The common sedan definitely seems to look something but average, displaying off a few slick lines and boasting a meaty radiator grille. The wraparound headlights are definitely on-factor and the bonnet suggests off a sweeping curve across the sides which follows the contemporary Japanese design trend from, amongst others, the new Subaru Legacy and Toyota Camry. So, even though the averaging methodology is completely goal, right here it’s clearly controlled to create some thing which could in shape proper in at any of the main shows. The rear of our common sedan takes a barely much less formidable and adventurous course. The boot and rear shoulders would extra befit a boxer than a ballet dancer however who’s to say that strong and uncompromising isn’t exactly what the common sedan driver is looking for. The rear intakes and dual exhausts upload a dash of aptitude however, common, it’s a solid, dependable look that wins out.

The Average SUV Sports utility cars or SUVs are a heavy-obligation lot which don’t genuinely recognize whether they need to be off-roaders or town-tractors. Due to this vehicular dysmorphia and the special layout directions taken by means of the numerous marques, we observed that the common SUV got here out with some captivating features. The front is stern, with an enforcing and barely sticking out nose and the type of grille that wouldn’t look out of region on a semi-truck. The average rear has very a great deal the advent of one of the original archetypes of the class, the Chevy Suburban. This elongated and box-like rear become initially to provide greater room on your camping equipment, however from the appearance of the common SUV we’ve created, they have got now end up the size of a small house.

The Average Convertible As a fave of design groups who get to set free with traces, curves and features, each convertible is particular and so an interesting project for the averaging process. Drawing from Corvettes, Porsches, S-Classes and many more, the end result is that most of the kinks and curves are ironed out, although the auto still holds onto its low-profile person and the extra lower the front air intakes to preserve the probably souped-up powertrain chilled. The average rear but sincerely takes on some of the fine sporty features from the convertible magnificence. A quad exhaust system need to keep air flowing properly, at the same time as the drag-decreasing aerodynamic curves wouldn’t preserve the car again. The average convertible might obviously also have the hood down, what’s the factor in having a convertible otherwise.

The Average Crossover Crossovers are already a significant mix of ideas, in that they generally proportion a design platform with smaller cars but get amped as much as be like milder variations of SUVs, so creating a median model acceptable it perfectly. This can be visible within the the front, wherein the narrowing curves across the headlights lead to a more tapered grille than the more in-your-face battering ram method of an SUV. The windscreen and upper element also are more petite than stated, aiming for substance in preference to declaration. The rear of the average crossover is also loads extra understated than the SUV however contains loads greater heft than the common sedan or hatchback, https://www.motortrend.com/concept-cars/even though it has a further low profile. It shows first-rate traces under the brake lighting and a graceful rear window design. Go ahead!

2019 Chevy Corvette ZR1, 2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country, 2021 Mercedes S-Class: The Week In Reverse

https://bestcaritems.com/?p=7000&utm_source=SocialAutoPoster&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Tumblr We outlined 10 things everyone should know about the 2019 Chevy Corvette ZR1; we took the 2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country for a spin in the Arctic Circle; the 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class was caught on camera. It’s the Week in Reverse, right here on Motor Authority. A lot of sights, sounds, and sensations become apparent when driving the 2019 Chevy Corvette ZR1. We put together a list of 10 things you need to know about the most-powerful Corvette to ever leave the factory. We packed our bags and touched down in Luleå, Sweden, for a first drive of the 2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country. Not only is it pretty to look at, but we called it Swedish perfection on wheels. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stepped out in front of the camera, and we saw not only its exterior styling but an utterly massive touchscreen inside the cabin. The screen has a row of buttons along the bottom, but it will likely include touch controls as well. Expect every powertrain to be electrified in some way when the S-Class debuts next decade. We climbed behind the wheel of the 2019 Maserati Levante GTS, the happy-medium of the luxury SUV’s range. It sits below the 590-horsepower Trofeo model but still packs 550 hp. It’s a beast to drive, but some finer details borrowed from low-end cars left us perplexed. Finally, Specialty Vehicle Engineering announced details of its 1,000-hp Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban upgrades. The company will drop a supercharged version of a Corvette engine under the hood of either family hauler. If 1,000 hp is too much, there’s also an 810-hp package. Via MotorAuthority

2021 Cadillac Escalade - interior Exterior and Driving (Luxury Large SUV)

∂

2021 Cadillac Escalade Starting at: $77,490 Highs High-tech cabin, suitably upscale, gutsy V-8 engine. Lows Eye-popping price tag, big thirst for gasoline, up-level version of GMC and Chevy siblings are almost as nice. Verdict Buyers who view the Escalade as a status symbol will be delighted by the latest generation of Cadillac's flagship SUV. Overview Once upon a time, back in the late 1990s, General Motors slapped a Cadillac grille on a GMC Yukon—and the rest is history. The 2021 Cadillac Escalade will mark the model's fifth generation and this new one is head and shoulders above the original in terms of luxury, style, and technology. Borrowing elements from the Escala concept car from 2016, the new Escalade offers visual panache worthy of its price tag. Two engines are offered—a familiar 6.2-liter V-8 and a new turbo-diesel inline-six—both hooked up to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Inside, a series of clever curved OLED displays takes the Escalade's dashboard to the digital realm, serving as the gauge cluster and infotainment display in one slick assembly. What's New for 2021? The 2021 Escalade has undergone a thorough redesign, complete with a new independent rear suspension, savvier interior technology, prettier styling, and a new optional diesel-powered engine. Pricing and Which One to Buy Luxury: $77,490 Premium Luxury: $84,290 Sport: $86,890 Sport Platinum: $101,290 Premium Luxury Platinum: $101,290 To truly deck out the Escalade in its best features, go for the Premium Luxury Platinum trim. It adds semi-aniline leather, 16-way power-adjustable front seats with massage, soft-close doors, and an AKG audio system with 36 speakers. It also comes standard with a self-parking feature, a head-up display, and adaptive cruise control. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Cadillac's biggest SUV is powered by either a 6.2-liter V-8 engine that makes 420 horsepower and can deactivate half of its cylinders when cruising to save fuel or a turbo-diesel 3.0-liter inline-six. A 10-speed automatic transmission will be standard with both engines, and buyers will be able to choose from rear- or all-wheel-drive setups based on their individual needs. As with its siblings, the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and the GMC Yukon, the 2021 Escalade now rides on an all-new platform with an independent rear suspension to help provide a smoother ride. Higher-end models also offer an air suspension with adaptive dampers that use computer-controlled shock absorbers. At our test track, the long-wheelbase Escalade ESV with the V-8 engine sprinted to 60 mph in just 5.9 seconds. The diesel engine sounds less refined than the V-8, but for some buyers that compromise is worth the improved fuel economy and low-end torque. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG The EPA fuel-economy estimates for the 2021 Escalade are lower than the 2020 model–at least for those powered by the 6.2-liter V-8. Rear-wheel drive examples are rated at 15 mpg city, 20 mpg highway, and 17 mpg combined; adding all-wheel drive drops each of those numbers by 1 mpg. The 2020 model carried ratings as high as 23 mpg highway and the Escalade's key rival–the Lincoln Navigator–offers more efficient ratings too. Opting for the turbo-diesel engine should make a difference, but estimates haven't been reported for that model yet. We're looking forward to testing both powertrains on our 200-mile highway fuel-economy test route. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo As the flagship of the Cadillac lineup, the 2021 Escalade ups the ante on in-cabin luxury. Faux leather is used in the base Luxury trim, but all other trims receive the real deal, with Platinum models getting soft semi-aniline hides. Leather-covered dash and door panels, aluminum speaker grilles, and adjustable interior ambient lighting provide an upscale appearance. Like the outgoing model, both a standard and long-wheelbase model are offered, the latter of which yielding more legroom for third-row riders and additional cargo space. Infotainment and Connectivity In addition to the extra luxury features in the cabin, Cadillac has completely tricked out the Escalade in the electronics department. The main showpiece is the digital dashboard that's comprised of three curved OLED displays that layer on top of one another to create a cool 38-inches of combined digital real estate, some of which serves as the driver's gauge cluster while the rest projects the CUE infotainment system for the driver and passenger. The collection of displays is reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz GLS-class's giant monolithic infotainment setup, but the Escalade's stacked setup creates depth and looks less tacked-on than the Benz.

Future SUVs: Coming Soon to a Dealer Near You

Whether it’s cheap gas, perceived safety, or just collective preference, SUVs and crossovers are the fastest-growing segment of the vehicle market, mostly at the expense of cars. American shoppers can’t get enough of ’em, and automakers are happy to design as many of these higher-profit margin vehicles as they can to meet the demand.

Much as cars used to offer a wide variety of body styles and functions appealing to all sorts of buyers, SUVs and crossovers today come in seemingly endless shapes, sizes, and powertrains. From EVs to rock crawlers, there’s something for everyone coming to your local showroom soon.

Ford Mustang Mach-E

What’s New: The latest addition to the Mustang model line is a battery-electric crossover four-door SUV. Really. Although the Mach-E looks nothing like any Mustang before it, the Blue Oval’s EV certainly packs the straight-line punch to woo pony car fans. The most powerful model—the nearly 460-hp Mach-E GT—aims to scoot from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The slinky crossover relies on one of two available battery packs to power its standard rear-axle motor and optional front-axle motor: a 76-kW-hr Standard Range pack or a 99-kW-hr Extended Range setup. Ford estimates a maximum driving range of 300 miles between charges for rear-drive Mach-Es equipped with the Extended Range battery, though a heavy right foot will surely drag down that distance.

What’s Not: Save for its Mustang nomenclature, the Mach-E shares little else with any Ford before it.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $44,995

Genesis GV80

What’s New: At long last, the Genesis brand’s first SUV is launching for the 2021 model year. The GV80 is a midsize, rear-drive-based SUV with seating for five. The GV80 will be plenty luxurious in base form, offering extra-posh features such as diamond-stitched leather, ash wood trim, augmented reality navigation, and more at a competitive price. Engine choices for the U.S. will include a 2.5-liter turbocharged I-4 making 300 hp and a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 good for 375 hp. Both engines will come mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

What’s Not: The GV80 is all-new from the ground up, but the design hasn’t changed much from the excellent concept we first saw in 2017.

When: Summer 2020

How Much: $49,925

Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV

What’s New: Cadillac shares its stretched, independently suspended architecture, 6.2-liter V-8 and I-6 diesel engines, and 10-speed transmission with the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon. It justifies its hefty price premium with such tech treasures as 38 inches of curved OLED display screen, augmented reality navigation, Super Cruise, night vision, and AKG Studio Reference 36-speaker sound. New for 2021, a Sport model features blackout trim. Cadillac offers eight interior color themes that can be decorated with myriad woods and leather sew patterns. Standard-wheelbase versions will launch late this year, with the Suburban-size ESV following in early 2021.

What’s Not: Platinum remains the ne plus ultra trim grade.

When: Late 2020 (ESV early 2021)

How Much: $77,500–$102,000 (est)

Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban

What’s New: Nearly everything, but most important: an independent rear suspension. This change, plus the addition of 4.9 and 6.8 inches to the Tahoe’s wheelbase and length (Suburban adds 4.1 and 1.3 inches) aims to again wrest dimensional and ride/handling superiority from Ford’s Expedition/Max. Fourth-gen magnetic ride control shocks are optional, with the upper trims getting MR plus height-adjustable air suspension. There’s a new 270-hp, 460-lb-ft 3.0-liter I-6 diesel option, and all models get a 10-speed automatic. The fancier High Country trim helps keep the Chevy faithful from straying to Yukon Denalis.

What’s Not: The 5.3- and 6.2-liter V-8s continue, adding DFM cylinder deactivation; 2500 and 3500 variants are dropped.

When: Mid-2020

How Much: $50,295–$70,895 (Tahoe), $52,995–$73,595 (Suburban)

GMC Yukon/Yukon XL

What’s New: To everything mentioned in Chevy’s Tahoe/Suburban entry, add GMC’s AT4 off-road-optimized package, which builds on Chevy’s Z71 hardware, for both Yukons. It adds Active Response 4WD electronics plus an electric-locking limited-slip differential, red tow hooks, and more luxurious interior trim. Denali models (60 percent of sales) get a unique dash with integrated touchscreen—rather than one perched on top. There are also real wood inserts, a 15-inch color head-up display, four color themes, and a GMC-exclusive power-sliding center console with a “safe drawer.”

What’s Not: The level of exterior bling on Denali models.

When: Early Summer 2020

How Much: $51,995–$54,595 (Yukon), $54,695–$75,395 (XL)

Ford Bronco Sport

What’s New: The Ford Bronco Sport is the rugged cousin to the Ford Escape, which it shares underpinnings with. The off-road-focused compact SUV is unibody and front-wheel-drive based, but Ford considers it part of the Bronco family, and as such it shares some styling cues with the larger, body-on-frame Bronco. The Bronco Sport is expected to have the 180-hp 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder as its base engine and an optional 250-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, both mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive will likely be standard. The look is boxier and more upright than the rounded, urban Escape—with shorter overhangs, underbody protection, a two-piece liftgate, chunky roof rails, and black plastic fenders. In keeping with Ford’s overall plans, there will be a hybrid or plug-in hybrid version.

What’s Not: It shares its front-wheel-drive platform and its engines with the Ford Escape.

When: late 2020

How Much: $30,000 (est)

Nissan Rogue

What’s New: Nissan’s best-seller is moving to a new platform shared with Renault and Mitsubishi alliance to keep it among the top 10 best-selling vehicles in America. What you’ll see and touch has been brought into line with Nissan’s latest styling language inside and out. We expect Nissan’s latest 2.5-liter inline-four under the hood driving the front (or all four) wheels, and there’s also the possibility Nissan will put its clever VC-Turbo inline-four under the hood of a sporty model. No matter what, expect a continuously variable transmission. Inside, look for an optional digital dash and a 9.0-inch infotainment screen borrowed from the new Titan.

What’s Not: We expect the new Rogue to ride on the same platform as before, and a number of its parts and features will be shared from other Nissan products.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $27,000 (est)

Volkswagen Tiguan

What’s New: Volkswagen’s global best-seller is due up for a refresh, and you’ll recognize it right away with its sportier nose job and all-LED external lighting front and back. Inside, the Tiguan gets a sportier steering wheel, borrowed from the larger Atlas Cross Sport, and VW’s latest infotainment system with over-the-air update capability. Also available: multicolor interior ambient lighting to set the mood.

What’s Not: Everything else. Volkswagen is considering a plug-in hybrid drivetrain option for the next-generation Tiguan, but for now, it sticks with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and eight-speed automatic.

When: Fall 2021

How Much: $26,000 (est)

Alfa Romeo Tonale

What’s New: Alfa needs to expand its lineup, and fast. SUVs are hot, so next up is the subcompact Tonale to slot under the compact Stelvio. We expect it to be front-drive based with the option of all-wheel drive, and it will use FCA’s small SUV architecture. The Tonale Concept was powered by an unspecified plug-in hybrid drivetrain, which we think could be the 1.3-liter turbo-four in front and electric motor in the rear used by the Europe-only Jeep Renegade plug-in hybrid, which makes 240 hp total. We also think the Alfa will get a non-hybrid option, probably a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4.

What’s Not: The Tonale will share a platform and likely powertrains with other FCA small crossovers, such as the Jeep Renegade.

When: Early 2021

How Much: $35,000 (est)

Audi E-Tron Sportback

What’s New: Although it’s essentially a fastback version of the E-Tron SUV, with a new roof, new rear quarter panels, and a new tailgate, the E-Tron Sportback has a more carlike presence, like a tall hatchback rather than an SUV trying to look sporty. The Sportback will benefit from a number of technical upgrades from Audi designed to boost range. The front motor will disengage under normal driving, the 95-kW-hr battery’s thermal management system has been made more efficient, and the battery’s usable capacity has been increased to 86.5 kW-hr. As with the regular E-Tron, the well-equipped Sportback will be available in Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels.

What’s Not: The powertrain is the same as the regular E-Tron, with a 187-hp, 231-lb-ft motor at the rear axle and a 168-hp, 182-lb-ft motor up front. Total system output is 355 hp and 413 lb-ft, and an overboost mode gives 402 hp and 490 lb-ft for 8 seconds.

When: 2021

How Much: $80,000 (est)

Kia Sorento

What’s New: Completely redesigned, the Sorento receives a new windswept exterior design. Kia also upgrades the interior with a large screen and sleek controls. Expect ride quality to improve now that the SUV sits on a new platform. New engine options should give the Sorento an extra pep in its step. A 1.6-liter turbo-four works with an electric motor to produce 227 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.5-liter turbo-four makes 277 hp and 311 lb-ft.

What’s Not: Some styling cues reference the Telluride, including the vertical taillights.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $30,000 (est)

Volkswagen ID 4

What’s New: Volkswagen has learned Americans aren’t much interested in hatchbacks, which is why the first of its all-electric MEB-platform vehicles to arrive stateside will be an SUV. The ID 4 is about the size of Tiguan, but the interior is much roomier. The MEB architecture follows the now-familiar skateboard platform, with a large battery pack between the wheels and motors at the axles. The base ID 4 is likely to be a single-motor rear-drive model, with a GTX version offering two motors, all-wheel drive, and more performance. Top-end ID 4s are expected to have a range of close to 300 miles.

What’s Not: The interior hardware is shared with the ID 3 hatch recently launched in Europe, with a compact digital instrument panel in front of the driver and a large centrally mounted touchscreen for infotainment and HVAC functions.

When: 2021

How Much: $35,000 (est)

Volvo XC40 Recharge

What’s New: The XC40 Recharge marks the debut of Volvo’s first-ever all-electric powertrain. The Recharge shares Volvo’s Compact Modular Architecture with the regular XC40, but there’s a liquid-cooled 78-kW-hr battery pack under the floor and a motor on each axle. Volvo claims 408 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque and a 0–60 time of 4.9 seconds. As with all new Volvos, top speed will be limited to 112 mph. Volvo does its own battery research and development in-house and says the available capacity of the battery pack will be 75 kW-hr, which should easily give the XC40 Recharge a range of 240 miles or more.

What’s Not: Apart from the blanked-off grille, the XC40 Recharge looks just like a regular XC40. That’s no bad thing, as Volvo’s entry-level SUV is one of the most stylish in the segment.

When: 2021

How Much: $55,000 (est)

Polestar 2

What’s New: Polestar 2 is the second model for the Scandinavian brand spun off from Volvo to concentrate on performance electric vehicles. Polestar 1 was a plug-in hybrid, but Polestar 2 is a mainstream all-electric premium four-door sedan to battle the Tesla Model 3. The 2 will have a range of about 275 miles with the 78-kW-hr battery in the floor. Front and rear motors provide a combined output of 400 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque. A vegan interior is optional, the infotainment system uses an Android operating system to run Google automotive services, and the advanced tech allows the car to try to anticipate the occupants’ needs.

What’s Not: It features an adaptation of the Volvo CMA architecture used by the Volvo XC40 and the Volvo 11-inch Sensus infotainment screen.

When: Summer 2020

How Much: $63,000 (est)

Fisker Ocean

What’s New: Longtime BMW and Aston Martin designer—and creator of the ill-fated Fisker Karma—Henrik Fisker has bounced back with a green-friendly, five-passenger EV crossover called the Ocean. The Ocean checks all the contemporary EV boxes—up to 300 miles of range, battery capacity north of 80 kW-hr, base 2WD and available AWD, a cool 16-inch center-mounted touchscreen with a haptic touchpad, and a charging partnership with Electrify America. Fun features? A novel multilink rear suspension, a roll-down rear-hatch window for carrying long objects, and karaoke words displayed on the head-up display. The Ocean will be significantly composed of recycled materials such as retrieved ocean plastics and old fishing net.

What’s Not: Although the Fisker name is familiar, everything about the Ocean is new, including the company behind the name.

When: Summer 2022

How Much: $37,499
