Calling its
2008 Cadillac Escalade Platinum Edition "the large
SUV of choice among luxury customers",
General Motors tries to make the huge 'ute a tougher competition for the gorgeous
2007 Mercedes-Benz GL450.
The
2008 Cadillac Escalade Platinum Edition, GM is reporting in its press release, is equipped with a powerful 6.2 liter V8 VVT engine. Mated to the
Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic, the powerplant develops 403 hp of power with 417 lb.-ft. (565 Nm) of torque. Unfortunately, the company says nothing about the vehicle's estimated fuel (in-)efficiency.
Main highlights are LED headlamps, making for a much more comfortable ride
MRC suspension, 22-inch wheels and lots of luxurious touches inside the driver's cabin.
