I loved the height it put me at when driving, the comfort and luxury, and a sound system that did not disappoint. Read on to learn more about my experience with the Cadillac Escalade ESV.

I didn’t think I would be so comfortable in it because I’m just shy of 5’4 but I was pleasantly surprised!
Once you open the doors, the Escalade greets you with assisting steps that give you a boost. Not once did I feel too short or uncomfortable. In fact, this truck is SO comfortable. I also thought it was a sturdy and secure ride.
The Escalade offers capable handling and a very smooth ride, simultaneously- you could pick up speed and not even notice. And she’s fast.
There’s so much room!
The ESV has more cargo room than other models with a longer wheelbase, and body. It offers an enormous amount of space and comfort (hello captain chairs!) for passengers and storage and there’s plenty of entertainment and amenities.
Passengers will never get bored in the Escalade. It’s loaded with so much tech.
