Grand Wagoneer vs Cadillac Escalade

Just by looking at them, you can tell the Grand Wagoneer and the Cadillac Escalade stand out. When you rev the engine for the first time, you’ll really get a sense of how special each model is. They both come with two powertrain options, but the Grand Wagoneer can give you more power than the Escalade.

The standard 6.4L V8 engine in the Grand Wagoneer produces 471 horsepower, which tops the 420 horsepower the standard 6.2L V8 engine in the Cadillac.

If you want to take things up a notch, the 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo engine in the Grand Wagoneer delivers 510 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. This high-powered beast far exceeds the 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque provided by the available 3.0L Duramax® Turbo Diesel engine in the Cadillac.

Having a vehicle that performs as well as the Grand Wagoneer or Cadillac Escalade is great, but it can get even better—how, you ask? With a little technology!

These SUVs are equipped with features that can take your adventures in and around Clarkston further than ever before. You’ll find a variation of adaptive air suspensions in each vehicle, which will help your ride feel smooth, regardless of the surface you’re driving on.

The Grand Wagoneer takes things up a notch with the legendary Quadra-Drive® II 4x4 system. This system has a rear electronic limited slip differential and a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio, which makes travel even easier. Additionally, the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System in the Grand Wagoneer offers Sand/Mud and Rock modes.

The Cadillac also has different drive modes you can toggle through, some of which are similar to those in the Grand Wagoneer. However, the Cadillac doesn’t possess Sand/Mud and Rock modes, which could make it tough to travel on those types of terrain.

Do you need an SUV that allows all your passengers to stretch out? Are you taking your family, including the dog, to Davison Area Dog Park? Thankfully, if you’re choosing between the Grand Wagoneer and Cadillac Escalade, each rider, and pets, will have the room they need in either model to relax in comfort.

The front row of both vehicles has comparable headroom and legroom, but the Grand Wagoneer has 63.4 inches of front hip room and 66.1 inches of front shoulder room. This is more than the 61.7 inches of hip room and 65.5 inches of shoulder room the front of the Cadillac offers.

In the second row, the Grand Wagoneer has the advantage across the board. This row provides 40 inches of headroom, 42.7 inches of legroom, 63 inches of hip room, and 65.2 inches of shoulder room. The Cadillac, on the other hand, only has 38.9 inches of headroom, 41.7 inches of legroom, 61.2 inches of hip room, and 64.6 inches of shoulder room in the second row.
