2010 Cadillac Escalade ESV Console<\/p><\/div>\n

The Escalade ESV comes with 3 rows of seats; you can either get dual bucket seats on the 2nd row, or an optional 3-seat bench.\u00a0 With the 3-seat bench the ESV will seat a full 8 passengers, and with the extended length can carry their luggage too.<\/p>\n

The Escalade L94 engine is almost perfect in this application.\u00a0 With 403 hp, the V8 has plenty of power for almost any situation, even given the mass of the Escalade ESV.\u00a0 New for 2010 is Active Fuel Management, which allows the V8 to run as a V4 under low load conditions such as steady state cruise.<\/p>\n

Escalade ESV Platinum<\/p><\/div>\n

Cadillac offers the Platinum Variant of certain models as the Maximum Luxury version.\u00a0 For the Escalade, the Platinum package adds:<\/p>\n

Platinum Includes unique front fascia with upper and lower grilles, LED headlamps, 22-inch multi-spoke chromed aluminum wheels, exclusive Light Linen\/Cocoa interior, TEHAMA first- and second-row leather seating surfaces, embroidered Cadillac insignias and unique door sills, genuine olive ash and burled walnut wood trim, Rear-Seat Entertainment System with two 7-inch-diagonal screens integrated into the back of the front head restraints, remote, 2-channel headphones and heated and cooled front console cup holders.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tahama Leather is a particularly delicate, soft, supple leather.\u00a0\u00a0 In this process, the leather is tinted all the way through, but in a way that does not hide any imperfections in the leather.\u00a0 Therefore only the highest quality leather can be used.\u00a0 Full-grain leathers are used, as found in the finest of leather goods.\u00a0 Full-grain leathers have not been sanded or refinished in any way to remove imperfections; again, so only the best, highest quality leathers can be used, but allowing for the best fiber strength and durability.\u00a0 Over time the Tahama leather will develop a patina rather than wear out.<\/p>\n
