2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE: AN ICON REBORN
The all-new 2007 Cadillac Escalade, the next generation of the iconic luxury SÚV, establishes a new level of power, style and elegance and introduces the next step in Cadillac's ongoing renaissance.Based on General Motors' all-new full-size SÚV platform, the '07 Escalade features new powertrain, chassis, safety and interior systems. These integrated systems deliver the most powerful, efficient luxury SÚV in the §egmènt, led by a new 6.2L all-aluminum V-8 engine wîth variable valve timing technology delivering 403 horsepower (301 kW)* and 417 lb.-ft. of torque (565 Nm).*
'The 2007 Escalade represents the next phase of Cadillac's product renaissance – one that was launched by the previous-generation Escalade,' said Jim Taylor, Cadillac general manager. 'Since its inception, Escalade has been a vehicle discerning customers aspire to own. This model raises the bar wîth exceptional exterior style, interior refinement, increased performance and enhanced ride and handling smoothness.'
The all-new 2007 AWD model Cadillac Escalade became available in the first quarter of 2006. A 2WD model for the standard-length Escalade enters the market in August 2006. It also will be sold outside North America , thus strengthening Cadillac's global portfolio. Escalade has a sleeker, cleaner and more athletic form wîth improved aerodynamics while appearing smaller in stature. It is instantly identifiable and incorporates styling cues from Cadillac's landmark Sixteen concept vehicle, including a more detailed signature grille, front fender vent ports and layers of chrome accents.

An all-new interior is a cornerstone of the new Escalade and sets a new standard for refinement. The warm and inviting interior is complemented wîth premium materials and a distinct layout not shared wîth any other GM full-size SÚV. The cabin also is more spacious, wîth an instrument panel that is lower and moved forward in the vehicle. This interior comes in two colors: Ebony and Cashmere. The vehicle features a unique instrument panel; instrumentation gauges wîth white needles and blue light inlays wîth continuously lit, white-LED backlighting; Nuance leather-covered seats; leather-covered door trim and center console; fabric-covered interior pillars; and an available heated §teering wheel. A power-assisted rear liftgate that opens and closes wîth the touch of a button also is standard equipment.
Escalade delivers convenience wîth a new -exclusive power fold-and-tumble second-row seat feature that eases access to the third-row seat, and a power-assisted rear liftgate that opens and closes wîth the touch of a button.
Escalade also includes an available eight-inch touch-screen navigation system, as well as a DVD system wîth a large, eight-inch flip-down screen. A §egmènt-first Bose 5.1 Digital Surround Sound system is integrated into the new family of radios that play DVD audio/video, CD audio/video, MP3s and XM Satellite Radio. A new 6.2L V-8 rated at 403 horsepower (301 kW)* and 417 lb.-ft. of torque (565 Nm)* is exclusive to Escalade. This all-aluminum engine uses v ariable valve timing (VVT) to optimize camshaft timing to improve low-rpm torque and high-rpm horsepower. The introduction of variable valve timing through the unique, dual-equal cam phaser is the 's first application of VVT on a mass-produced V-8 overhead-valve engine.
A new Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission is matched wîth the 6.2L engine. One of the 's most advanced automatics, the 6L80 features clutch-to-clutch shifting and has a wide, 6.04:1 overall ratio – including two overdrive gears – that helps deliver an excellent balance of performance and fuel economy.
A stronger frame and chassis support the more powerful powertrain and enable exceptional responsiveness and ride and handling smoothness. A new, fully boxed frame offers 49-percent increased torsional stiffness and a 35-percent improvement in beaming stiffness, compared to previous models. Larger, four-wheel disc brakes and an all-new Bosch ABS system help ensure braking performance. ABS works wîth the StabiliTrak stability control system's new rollover mitigation technology. This software algorithm technology uses sensors to proactively predict vehicle 'tip-up' and apply appropriate brake force to help prevent such events.
Escalade is designed to be among the 's safest and most secure vehicles, wîth numerous safety systems and crash-avoidance technologies. New occupant protection features include head curtain side air bags wîth rollover protection for all seating rows and an -first 360-degree front safety belt pretensioner activation system.
In keeping wîth Cadillac's reputation for advanced technology, for 2007, OnStar-equipped Escalade models will feature Generation 7 technology and a new service called OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation, the first factory-installed, fully integrated GPS navigation system from OnStar. Turn-by-Turn allows consumers to talk to a live advisor, who in turn sends complete step-by-step directions to customers' vehicles through their OnStar system. These audio directions automatically play through the vehicle's stereo as needed, triggered by the OnStar system's GPS capabilities. This enables drivers to be led to their destination while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

The all-new 2007 Cadillac Escalade EXT brings unmatched versatility to the completely redesigned Escalade family of luxury SÚVs. Blending pickup truck-style functionality into a thoroughly luxurious Escalade, the EXT model joins the extended ESV model to create the 's largest family of luxury SÚVs.Based on General Motors' all-new full-size SÚV platform, the '07 Escalade EXT features new powertrain, chassis, safety and interior systems. These integrated systems deliver the most powerful, efficient luxury SÚV in the §egmènt, led by a new 6.2L all-aluminum V-8 engine wîth variable valve timing technology delivering 403 horsepower (301 kW)* and 417 lb.-ft. of torque (565 Nm).*
The EXT model is a unique Sport Útility Truck (SÚT) body style, giving it a part-SÚV, part-pickup profile. With the -exclusive Midgate panel owners can easily convert the EXT from a five-passenger SÚV into a two-passenger pickup wîth 9 feet of protected and secured storage. The Midgate, located behind the rear seat, can be folded into the cabin, enabling the cargo area to expand from 5 feet to 8 feet, for a total of 101 cu ft. in secured volume. A lockable standard tonneau cover protects items in the cargo bed, or can be removed entirely for added space.
The all-new 2007 model Cadillac Escalade EXT wîth all-wheel drive will be in dealerships in summer 2006. It also will be sold outside North America , strengthening Cadillac's global portfolio.
