The once-unthinkable big Cadillac SUV has become indispensable.
Caddy unveils the 2015 Escalade in New York this evening, promising that it'll be in showrooms the first half next year. The General Motors luxury brand isn't providing price or fuel-economy information yet.
Escalade's spring launch gives GM's mechanically similar mainstream models, Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Denali SUVs, a few months head start in the market. It's considered unlikely those would swipe any Escalade sales.
The styling is supposed to convey a bold, premium vehicle that's highly advanced even though its chassis is derived from GM's redesigned, 2014 full-size pickup trucks.
That body-on-frame construction -- instead of the more common, car-like unibody used by crossover SUVs -- remains common among big SUVs, though nearly is extinct among midsize and smaller models.
The interior, leathered and high-teched, is supposed to underline the first impression the outside conveys.
Cadillac says the 2015 provides more leg and head room than the predecessor. It will continue to be available in standard (think Tahoe) and long-wheelbase (think Suburban) sizes.
