Cadillac is introducing the new Sport Edition
package for the 2019 Escalade, just in time for the LA Auto Show. The new Cadillac Escalade Sport
Edition will be available on Luxury, Premium Luxury and Platinum models,
featuring gloss black exterior trim that includes the front grille, window
surrounds, body side moldings and more, as well as a set of 22-inch alloy
wheels finished in an exclusive Midnight Silver.
As you might have guessed already, the new Sport
Edition package is just a styling upgrade, leaving the mechanical bits of the
Cadillac Escalade untouched. Cadillac’s large SUV is still powered from a 6.2-liter V8 rated at
420 hp, which is enough to send the heavyweight Escalade from 0 to 60mph in less
than six seconds. Cadillac offers both 2WD and 4WD configurations.
The additional features of the 2019 Cadillac
Escalade include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, the company’s latest
infotainment system that offers pretty much every connectivity option
available, Magnetic Ride Control suspension, a 16-speaker Bose Centerpoint
audio system and more.
Pricing for the 2019 Cadillac Escalade Sport Edition
is set at US$ 84,790 (including destination charges. The Sport Edition package on
its own is priced at US$ 2,700, with Cadillac to open the order books in early
2019.
