Thanks for watching!
Pure indulgence, gluttony, overkill, and lunacy. I want it.
today i learnt a new word from internet: indulgence
@@wildcoolorangeyou’ve never heard that word before?
@@DisciplesOfGandalf it's one of those words u see it for once and then never used it ever since
i dont
Every time I think this my conscience say back to me faintly “gonna cost ya”…
never in my life would i expect a 2023 cadillac escalade to be on my dream car list but here it is..
I see a V8 vehicle with an active exhaust either factory or after market with Topher driving in his hometown, I am a happy person.

I am a Cadillac guy from way back. I have owned eight of them. I respect how they think.
However, I have never seen your work before and I have to tell you that I really enjoyed your review. Camera work is spot on. You put the viewer in the car, and that is where the magic lies. I also got a big kick out of your commentary. I felt like i was riding down the road a neighbor who just got a new Caddy. Well done. Keep up the good work.
Pretty insane price for an Escalade. I certainly don’t think it’s worth it but Cadillac will no doubt have no problems selling it
it's to compete with the $175k Range Rovers. You basically get a 15-20% discount on the higher end versions.
ohhh its worth it
@@doughboi007 Cars are getting so insanely expensive now
I love how absurd the Escalade is in everything it does. it's closer to muscle cars like hellcats and gt500s than family SUVs. But i would love to see some drives and reviews of some cars that are priced more consumer friendly. You do a great job, and i think a lot of people would appreciate a buyers guide
No we want to see fast cars and high price items not a regular boring sedan.
These days the Escalade is better than a Rolls Royce. Cadillac is finally living up to its name. I personally prefer the naturally aspirated engine version of the Escalade since it will give you more range. I like the sound but i think that fast SUVs and crossovers are very stupid but if you were to get a fast and somewhere practical SUV then the Escalade is the best choice.
@@kingamir7487 Speak for yourself, you don't know what "we" wants, everyone is different. I personally enjoy both types of reviews, both in and out of my price range, not everyone is like you.

this looks like one of the most fun vehicles to drive currently. The best POV driving I ever watched. Thank you.
The best POV driving I ever watched. Thank you
hiii :)
The price tag of this thing is what I paid for my house. That being said if money were no object, I'd go the Raptor R route. But that's just me 🤷🏻♂️
practicality this is definitely better, Raptor R is definitely amazing but outside of going off-road anything pertaining to that this is honestly the better option between the two not to mention reliability considering both vehicles engine/power output
Wise*
This car is amazing escalade v by a 6.2L engine and incredible sound i think is one of the best suv for family
I love this car ! And this AKG sound system is incredible !!
I’m glad to see these powerful suvs out there even if I can’t afford them right now it’s still sweet to see and hear them on the roads👍
for 150k there are other cars (cayenne gts, durango hellcat, etc) that people can buy
but in my opinion there’s nothing close to this except for the ram trx
so this is a pretty unique concept executed quite well
Don't forget the Raptor R
I’m confused why they made a V version of this car. It’s got a ton of power, and it sounds incredible, but it’s a Cadillac Escalade, it’s a luxury car built for comfort, not performance. It’s not really comparable to the Ram TRX or the Raptor R either, those trucks aren’t made for on road performance, their built for off-roading, with high ground clearance and they come standard with 35inch tires. That’s not what they made the Escalade V for.
@@zoomzoom3839 It’s not an off-road competitor lol
What if lincoln made a navigator R with the predator engine? Or jeep with a grand wagoneer redeye?
@@zoomzoom3839 i was mainly talking about size and experience
all of these cars (escalade v, trx, raptor r) are all large vehicles that can go fast
14:29 daaaaaaaamn what a bombs came from the exhauste
I love Cadillac interior, and as well as cars.
I love the Cadillac Escalade V and it's so nice and luxurious 😍🔥
watching you drive this suv is insane i wonder how much a full tank of gas is i'm sure its close to $200-$300
It’s like 85 dollars
@@lennox285679 it has to be way more than that. My Porsche cost about that much to fill up and it has a much smaller tank
100 bucks, premium gas is around $4/gal in the US, 28 gallon tank
@@nathanwinters8443 it varies by state, I just filled up in hastings, mn for 2.59.
@Nathan winters here down in FL regular is 3.25 and premium 3.99
8:55 Holy 😮 i like it so much
Oh boy ,this Cadillac Escalade is soo sick😎😝 is like is out of the world mann 😁
OMG, it’s the Cadillac Escalade V. This is going to be a fun episode. 😆😆😆
Lord glad that gear shift not on steering wheel so good to see that up grade.
The rear seats looks like a weaponry store
$150,000 and they still can’t make the speedometer refresh by 1 mile an hour increments, it’s a small detail, but looks pretty bad.
I agree it’s a small detail but very important considering it looks horrible
I really dislike the digital dash trend and hope it dies soon.
@@wildmikefilmsit’s not gonna
Topher driving in his hometown, I am a happy person.
I am a total Porsche nut and I would buy a Cayenne or Panamera as a daily without even thinking about it lol but there is just something about this massive thing.. Seeing these on European roads is something else then a Porsche or Range Rover that are quite common... I would love this as a daily, sounds great, love the cockpit although i'm normally not a fan of too much screens and touchscreen stuff. 150k is a massive amount though, even for a Cadillac ngl.
It has insane presence. A black Escalade always means business.
Here in Brazil the price is more than 600 k dollar
What is Cadillac trying to do these days🤯. The interior is beautiful and high tech 🤑👏
wow i'm falling in love with this car !!!
I don't think I would ever buy a GM product but damn, That's a sweet vehicle!
why not? just curious
@@finn7530 had a new 98 chevy blazer and the 4x4 stopped working and so did the gas gauge after 5 years. I know things have changed but I can still feel it where they stuck it to me.
Love this car. Fantastic way of going all out with ICE before going electric.
@9:10 sounds like you're making popcorn with those exhaust pops 😂
🍿
hey vw, this is how the dash should have looked on the golf 8
Véhicule Superbe et le bruit moteur de folie. Belle vidéo
The best sounding stock exhaust of any vehicle!
Started laughing at around 12:44. Unbelievable how this is how they come from the factory exhaust-wise.
It was a sounds at 14:34 that did me in lol
This SUV looks like the goddess of luxury 😍😍😍
Holy crap, I thought my M340i crackled a lot. This is next level crackles in Sport. Too much.
is the M340 crackle through the speakers though?
@@StlPike2004 Nah, I have all the engine noise through the speakers nonsense coded out.
@embiggens1 that easy to do? Next car might be a 24 M340xi
It's the best sound that i heared
The fuel gauge moved a fair bit between the start and end of the video :)
@14:32 oh my goshhh 😂😂😂😂 what in the world
Well this will def get the kids to fútbol practice quick 😂
Soccer
JUST INSANE SOUNDING
Great Video! Love this car and your reviews!
Thing is a beast! And like you said, for that price it better be!
أشعر بالحماس تجاه هذا الوحش 👏👏👌
Topher driving in his hometown, I am a happy person.10.00US$
thank you my friend ❤
WOW!!! I want one so bad - a silver / gray one and aftermarket gloss black wheels! So damn nice!!! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁 (EDIT: my God, that engine, exhaust sound and those lightning-fast shifts, holy shit!)
This generation of Escalade is IMPRESSIVE!! But I’m not certain slapping a supercharger, stickier tires, and a louder exhaust is worth the extra $30-$40k. And can you imagine dealer markups?! Still, big fan of these ‘Slades, but man $150K is BIG MONEY when you could slide into a Mercedes Benz AMG GLS 63…I dunno…just think about $150K and wiper stalks from a Chevy Sonic. Impressive still…$150K though!
Buy it in 5 years for 60% off :D
@@Sheng614 These aren’t going to depreciate that much.
@@Sheng614 yeah, sadly that’s not going to happen anymore with performance vehicles. They are treated as a money making hustle now
@@mcnuggetapple maybe for a sports car lol, who is going to take an escalade out on a track day 🤣?
Slapping a supercharger? This ain’t Dodge. Did you not hear the part where he said every single one has a *hand built V8?* That’s the type of shxt you pay extra for. There are plenty of motors GM could’ve slapped in this thing off of a assembly like and called it a day. The powertrain clearly was not an afterthought despite how badly you want folks to believe this is nothing special. 😂
I know a guy who's got $5 million and he told me the most he's ever spent on a vehicle is $15K . He said he thinks that todays new vehicles aren't worth the outrageous prices that they want for them even though he said he can easily afford them. He said he'd rather spend that money on taking trips around the world and seeing other countries and places than spend it on vehicles and expensive toys.
This one doesn't have the driver assist ! It doesn't have the assist indicator light strip on the steering wheel!
How did they manage to make such a big vehicle feel claustrophobic
I think its the birds eye view
that was sick when you started driving while bumping the music
supporting the oil industry one acceleration at a time
I love you Cadillac Escalade ❤❤❤❤😎👍
$150,000 is a hard no from me 😂
You could probably get a used Huracan for that chunk of change.
Yes, but can you haul 8 people and kill pedestrians in a Huracan? No, you can only do one of those things.
That’s not a smart comparison. I wouldn’t pick a super car over a super suv that can tow as much as this AND carry seven people. It’s a no brainer
@@MrSupersaiyangoku what about the fact a g wagon gaps it?? Yeaaaa no dont care if it could carry 50 LOL
@@nobreaks3305 then go compare a g wagon to something else. The Escalade is a full size suv that isn’t meant for little boys
@@sirdaylight5670yeah finally someone understands it .This is a family car not a sports car
Nice soundtrack! V8 gnarly beast!
It’s like $180k CDN.. I cant justify that price.. esp when the Mercedes GLS and BMW X7 exist. Porsche Cayenne Turbo isn’t as big, but still gorgeous. I do applaud Cadillac for making this tho.
Section 179 was exactly what I was thinking. Got to find myself a good cpa
I think I may have seen this same exact Escalade in Taylor a couple months ago at a restaurant. Not sure if it was you, or if it was a total different "V". Same color and everything. I didn't see who got in it, I would have loved to see that thing up close, CZcams does not do it justice.
My neighbor just bought this thing - as a counterpoint, I guess, to his wife’s AMG 63 G-Wagen with the side exhausts. Both jet black, of course. Needless to say there is a lot of deep, throaty rumbling and poppin’ going on in the cul-de-sac as they ferry their young girls back and forth to school haha!
this looks like one of the most fun vehicles to drive currently
Fantastic sound, but I feel like the 10-speed is letting it down. If this was a DCT with 7, 8, or 9 gears it would be an entirely different animal.
This way is more comfortable.
This is for a rich dad/mom though, they dont want DCT's lol
DCT won’t be able to handle the power and towing conditions. There’s a reason why manufacturers went back to the traditional transmission like BMW did with the new M5. These transmissions shift very quick.
My dream daily
Thing looks and sounds amazing
weird how chevy hasnt dropped this motor in the silverado yet
Facts now thats what we need.
If you and this suv go on a date night drive this man go talk the hole way through the night. 😆🤣😩
Nice voice and normal calm speech.
set exhaust to "Automatic Rifle Gunshot" mode
Idk about you guys but I want those shift sounds on my car 💀
Cadillac Escalade ESV always are my dream car , but sadly i can't have it in my country😢😢
This badass SUV makes green peace cry😂😂😂
в красном цвете отпад. red color good car 😊
Big beast car 😈😈😈😈
Просто нет слов… для кого-то может обыденное, для меня мечта…
Загнивающий запад😉
@@standofftwo9300 ну, неговори…
150 тыс долларов готов отдать?
@@sirdaylight5670 но не по такому курсу доллара… уж слишком задрали
When ripping through the gears it sounds like Forza Horizon 5!!
It sounds amazing!
@12:45 “little bit of steering feel around these corners”.
That’s because you don’t have the steering feel selector all the way up
I think I'm in love ❤, This is the most beautiful vehicle I've ever seen.
I get the same mpg with my 2005 gmc Yukon Denali lol that 6.0 is always thirsty
Would never pay 150k for an suv let alone a cad, but it does look and sound good.
So cool! Wish we could have it in the UK!
150k for a Tahoe seems steep. If I was in the market for a boring 3-row SUV I would get a BMW X7 and call it a day.
Most beautiful interior🧡
We all know what that cool box is really for
5:35 Priced one out at my local dealer and they removed $50 from the price tag confirming the 2nd row window express up/down won't be available at beginning of production. Is this a chip shortage related thing? Also realized you can't lease an Escalade. Only the CT & XT models
nice affordable car for young familiy´s 😅
One of my dream cars
this is very good suv.
Impresionante coche digno competidor de los modelos Alemanes.
الحج ابراهيم العرجاني يا فخر السيناويه يعيش ابو عصام 😂😂💔
Amazing car, i love Cadillac!
The best SUV you can buy, and it’s not even close to the most expensive
video from the front camera should be translated into the rears monitors , for the passengers . Would be great
Yay we're back on pink mirrors
With all of that, does it know my name? Call my name, I say!
I love the part where he said some data about the fuel economy 😂
Good effort for putting this video ... but as much as i like watching them, i hate the fact that everyone has gone toward overuse of that "digitalization" path ... i prefer a good old classic car ( manual, analog, connected ) to the driver and the road :/
One of my dream cars!!!
You should start adding 0-60 acceleration clips and 60-0 braking clips.
