2023 Cadillac Escalade ESV Safety and Reliability

或许不足为奇enormou一些s Cadillac Escalade ESV missed out on a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA, settling for a reasonable four stars instead. It was flawless in the side crash test but only achieved three stars for the rollover test and four stars for the frontal crash test. For now, the current ESV remains untested by the IIHS.

Despite NHTSA ratings that aren't flawless, the Cadillac Escalade ESV's safety levels are still high thanks to a generous amount of safety features. All trim levels come standard with a seven airbag safety system, which includes frontal airbags and side seat-mounted airbags for the driver and front passenger. ABS braking, traction and stability control, and a rearview camera are all standard.

In terms of driver assistance tech, all trim levels come with front and rear park assist, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, HD surround vision, and rear pedestrian alert. All but the base model have a head-up display. Higher up in the trim line, safety features such as reverse auto braking, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and lane change alert with side blind zone alert become standard. Of course, we have to mention GM's brilliant Super Cruise system that allows for convenient hands-free driving on compatible roads. Customers can also add an auxiliary trailer camera and night vision.

The Cadillac Escalade ESV's reliability has gotten better over time: the 2022 model was recalled just once for improper rivets on the seat belt buckle assembly and the 2023 model hasn't been recalled at all. This is a drastic improvement over 2021 models that succumbed to eight recalls when the model was much newer. Back then, everything from rear wheel driveshaft assemblies to a loss of power steering assist and several seat belt issues afflicted the Caddy.

A fairly comprehensive warranty for the Cadillac Escalade ESV is in place. The company will cover the Escalade ESV with a four-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, a six-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty, and a one-year/one-visit maintenance plan. Roadside assistance applies for the first six years or 70,000 miles.
