Description

The 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV represents the fifth generation of Cadillac’s flagship full-size luxury SUV. First introduced for the 2021 model year, this generation brought significant advancements in interior space, technology integration, and ride quality, largely attributed to the model’s first-ever four-wheel independent suspension system. The ESV designation indicates the extended-length variant, offering additional cargo capacity and third-row legroom compared to the standard-wheelbase Escalade.

The exterior of this Platinum-grade example features Black Raven paint, 22-inch wheels, power-assist steps, and a panoramic sunroof. The post-repossession inspection notes chips and scratches around the exterior consistent with typical use, along with irregular fit of the front bumper and driver-side fender. The Platinum trim level represents the top-tier configuration within the Escalade lineup, distinguished by exclusive design elements and premium materials.

Inside, the cabin is finished in Whisper Beige semi-aniline leather with leather-wrapped interior trim surfaces. The Platinum Exclusive Package provides elevated material quality throughout the interior. Seating accommodations include heated and vented front seats, heated second-row seats, and power-folding third-row seats. The inspection identifies creases and wear on the seats, discoloration on the driver’s lower outer bolster, a tear in the front center armrest, and scratches on various interior surfaces.

The technology suite centers around a 16.9-inch OLED infotainment touchscreen, one of the largest displays available in any production vehicle at the time of manufacture. Additional technology includes a rear seat entertainment system and Super Cruise compatibility, Cadillac’s hands-free driver assistance feature that requires an active subscription. The Heavy-Duty Trailering Package adds an auxiliary trailer camera, trailer tire pressure monitoring system, 2-speed transfer case, and extra capacity cooling system.

Power is provided by a 6.2-liter V8 engine rated at 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Output is routed through a 10-speed automatic transmission to a four-wheel-drive system with an electronic limited-slip differential. The chassis features adaptive air ride suspension and magnetic ride control, both designed to balance comfort and handling dynamics. The inspection report notes a chirping sound from the engine and a rattle from the exhaust system.
