The 2013 Cadillac Escalade ESV proves that success can provoke expansion. Known to be the powerful and quintessentially American luxury SUV from the stable of General Motors, the Cadillac Escalade ESV was first introduced in 1999 in response to Ford’s Lincoln Navigator. The third generation Escalade featured the new GMT900 platform, and the new generation model is of the same size as its previous generation, but features a bigger and powerful engine, better maneuverability, and an upgraded interior. Available in four versions (base, Luxury, Premium and Platinum), the Escalade will sell with a price ranging between $60,000 to $80,000.
