2005 Cadillac Escalade ESV Review

　　

zzdcar' Expert Review

by the zzdcar Experts

　　

What’s new

　　Changes this year include a redesigned gauge cluster, touchscreen capability with the optional navigation system, a more user-friendly driver information system and a refreshed door panel appearance. Additionally, walnut burled wood trim replaces last year's Zebrano wood.

　　

zzdcar says

　　With its brash styling, class-leading V8 power, well-sorted vehicle dynamics and cavernous interior, the ESV is the Escalade of choice for those who want maximum utility and luxury.
