2012 cadillac escalade supercharged sport edition

The rest of the environment is pure Cadillac Escalade. The Escalade has always been a desirable machine and gets admirable stares, in some neighbourhoods more than others. Not only do you feel like you own the street, but you now have the firepower to impose an extra layer of respect.

The Cadillac Escalade, largely unchanged since , is in dire need of a makeover. The climate control buttons are minuscule and difficult to use while driving. Woodgrain instead of genuine wood trim is hard to justify in a vehicle of this price.

A GMC Yukon looks almost the same but costs thousands less. We could go on. Best of all, all SLP models under hp are backed by the same warranty that GM offers, which means this blown Escalade is covered bumper-to-bumper for four years or 80, km, while its powertrain warranty is five years or , km, whichever comes first. Those pesky Germans now have some company in the hp club. Interested in an SLP-tuned vehicle?

Road Tests and Reviews. Be the first to review this vehicle. Space and Access. Driving Dynamics. General Appreciation. I want my review to be anonymous. The Escalade was a rocket in a straight line, and it handled well for a big ute. The power and the whine of the supercharger will put a smile on your face. Jamming the brakes quickly stops the nearly three-ton ute with enough force to take the smile off as you're thrown against the seatbelts--impressive.

The price is steep but not outrageous if you have a big enough pocketbook. For example, the steering wheel doesn't telescope, and there's no sunroof. But these missing luxury features on our test car were not SLP's fault. The tuner does nothing on the interior in terms of luxury upgrades. The only additions on the inside are logos on the front-seat headrest and floor mats. If you're looking for things such as a telescoping steering wheel or sunroof, you need to start with a higher-trim-level Escalade, which bumps up the overall cost.
