Cadillac said the ESV has more than 142 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row—an increase of 18.1% over the previous generation.

Like the short-wheelbase Escalade, the ESV gets a massive 38-inch curved OLED display that comprises of a 7.2-inch touchscreen, 14.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 16.9-inch touchscreen that controls most infotainment functions.

Inside the bonnet is 6.2-liter V8 engine that is found in the standard Escalade. The petrol engine produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.

The new Escalade is also being offered with a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel engine, which produces 277 hp and 460 lb-ft. Both engines are paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission.

Pricing for the 2021 Cadillac ESV Extended-wheelbase SUV will start $79,195 (₦30. 5 million). This price excludes destination and clearing cost in Nigeria.
