Cadillac Escalade ESV 8 Cyl 0-60 Test
There are several claims that the Escalade ESV can reach 60 in 7 seconds, but we couldnt get this ESV to do that.
Engine:
6.2 L
Vortec 6200
V8
Hrsepower:
403 @ 5700
Torque:
417 @ 4400
Transmission:
6-speed automatic
Curb weight:
5,761 lb
Class:
Premium Large Sport-utility Vehicle
In 1998 Ford launched the Lincoln Navigator into the automotive market. GMC quickly devised a response to the Navigator and in 1999 GMC introduced the first generation of the Escakade. The original Escalade was launched with the 5.7 L Vortec 5700 V8 at 255 hp engine and Autotrac selectable 4×4. Over the years the Escalade became infamous for having almost identical designs as the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Yukon Denali. GMC did not produce a 2001 Escalade but instead redesigned the SUV for the 2002 model year. In 2004 the Escalade received many different changes to the luxury of the vehicle including optional 20 inch rims, XM satellite radio, second-row bucket seats, and a tire pressure monitoring system. In 2005 a Platinum edition of the Escalade was introduced. The Platinum edition featured heated and cooled cup holders, 20 inch chrome wheels, moon roof, three DVD screens, and chrome accents on the steering wheel and grille.
In 2007 the Escalade underwent another remodeling. The 2007 Escalade’s engine is an all-aluminum 6.2 L Vortec V8. This pushrod engine includes variable valve timing, a first in a mass-produced non-overhead cam engine. The engine produces 403 hp (23 hp more than the GMC Yukon Denali) and 417 lbs of torque. The Escalade comes with a six-speed 6L80 automatic transmission.

It sounds like you had the A/C on full blast. That saps engine power quite considerably. Try it without the A/C on.

well part of the …
well part of the reason they got “into” bankruptcy was from warrenties and labor costs. german cars aren’t exactly made better, the only german car that makes the top ten reliability list is bmw and its always around #7 while US has about 6 brands in the top ten, plus german parts are more expensive and the cars are WAY harder to work on,, GM had been making their brands better for awhile, just no one noticed, everyone wants to believe what people say and not do actual research

@ilikeboxing i’d say the reason got “into” bankruptcy was because they made cars with $7 engineering and a $2 interior, then sold it at a competitive price to the properly engineered european cars. they can only take advantage of american patriotism for so long before people get fed up and buy a german car.

actually, poor management was a reason why gm couldn’t “avoid” bankruptcy, not a reason they got “into” bankruptcy,,,
pontiac wasn’t a money maker the last couple decades. lets face it, pontiacs had become ugly, the g6 and vibe was the only one having good sales..the only real money makers gm have are buick chevy and cadillac.. and yea ever since gm aquired saab its been reporting regular losses.

Poor management is to blame my friend.
All I own and drive is GM except for my work truck which is a Ford, but it ain’t mine so I don’t complain.
Poor management had led the company into bankruptcy. Saab is a good example of GM’s poor management. GM took over Saab in the late 80’s which was very successful, and every year after that Saab turned negative profit. But then GM goes and kills Olds and soon Pontiac (Both money makers for GM). The bank situation only added fuel to the fire.
