Grand Wagoneer vs Escalade

Leading The Way

If you haven’t heard, there’s a new off-road SUV taking the automotive industry by storm. The Grand Wagoneer is redefining what it means to be an SUV. At Preston Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we’re stocked with the latest Grand Wagoneer models and customers cannot seem to get theirs soon enough. Clearly, the Grand Wagoneer separates itself above the rest of the SUVs in its class. However, there is one other luxury SUV that some say is nearly on-par with the Grand Wagoneer: the Cadillac Escalade. While the Cadillac Escalade is a great vehicle in its own right, it doesn’t quite compare to the capability and class of the Grand Wagoneer and seems to have firmly lost the Grand Wagoneer vs Escalade debate. For customers, our experts have done the research and laid out exactly how the Grand Wagoneer keeps the Cadillac Escalade in its shadow.

No Competition

The Cadillac Escalade is an amazing SUV that has provided high-end luxury and performance for two decades. However, the Grand Wagoneer has quickly taken over the hearts and minds of drivers. What exactly ends the Grand Wagoneer vs Escalade discourse? For starters, both of the Grand Wagoneer engines, the standard 6.4L V8 engine and the available all-new 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo 510 I6 engine, outperform the Escalade’s standard 6.2L V8 engine and available Duramax® 3.0L Turbo Diesel. The Grand Wagoneer’s 6.4L engine can pump out 471 horsepower and 455 lb.-ft. of torque and the available 3.0L engine produces an astonishing 510 horsepower and 500 lb.-ft. of torque. Conversely, the Cadillac Escalade’s standard engine is only capable of 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque while its optional 3.0L diesel engine produces a disappointing 277 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. The Grand Wagoneer is also the only off-road capable SUV between the pair and beats the Cadillac Escalade’s 8,200 lb. towing capability with a Best-in-Class 9,850 lb. towing capacity, settling the Grand Wagoneer vs Escalade capability comparison.

Unmatched Comfort

While the Grand Wagoneer performs far better on and off-road, the Grand Wagoneer vs Escalade luxury argument is a tad closer. Though the Grand Wagoneer has an award-winning luxury interior, the Cadillac Escalade doesn’t seem to be too far behind and even offers an available interior fridge. Yet, the Grand Wagoneer is still the SUV with the awards, and for good reason. The leather upholstery and real wood and metal trimmed interior is fascinating, but what really takes the cake is the Best-in-Class second and third row legroom, Best-in-Class overall passenger volume, and the 24-way power adjustable front massage seats. The Escalade vs Grand Wagoneer interior debate goes in favor of the Grand Wagoneer.

More Advanced

While the Escalade does have an unparalleled 38-inch digital cluster display with an infotainment system and a control panel, it simply cannot compare to the Grand Wagoneer’s amazing available HD touchscreens. The Grand Wagoneer features the only passenger screen in its class which optimizes co-pilot navigation and provides streaming capabilities for passengers riding shotgun. Overall, the Grand Wagoneer offers over 75 total inches of screen display and an Industry-First Mcintosh® Entertainment System. Furthermore, the Grand Wagoneer comes with the all-new Uconnect® 5 System with Uconnect® 5 NAV, Amazon Fire TV, and an absurd amount of other features. For safety, the Cadillac Escalade does offer a suite of safety technology, but they don't compare to the Grand Wagoneer which comes standard with over 120 driver-assist features.
