Current Cadillac Escalade

Redesigned for the 2007 model year, the third-generation Cadillac Escalade is the most modern and luxurious version to date. A stiff, fully boxed frame and a coil-spring front suspension provide a smoother ride than in years past, and handling is more controlled and predictable. In addition, a rack and pinion steering system makes it easier to manage in tight spaces. However, with a curb weight of almost 5,700 pounds, it's still a stretch to call the Escalade SUV nimble.
