2021 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum Review & Test Drive

Join @UnBoxed Autos as we review the 2021 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum. In my 2021 Cadillac Escalade Review I will go over specs, pricing, exterior styling, interior design and tech. Then we will hit the road in the 2021 Escalade to see exactly how it performs on the road.

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade starts from $80,490 with AWD or $77,490 with RWD. You can also get the 3.0l inline-6 diesel engine for the same price.

The top trim level is the Sport Platinum model which starts at $104,290.

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade features exclusive, first-to-market technology advances including a curved Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) screen, the first AKG automotive audio system and Cadillac’s acclaimed Super Cruise driver assistance technology.

Escalade’s industry-first curved OLED display offers more than 38 inches of total diagonal display area, with twice the pixel density of a 4K television. The technology delivers bold imagery, perfect blacks and the largest color range of any automotive display in production today.

The system includes three screens: a 7.2-inch-diagonal touch control panel driver information center to the driver’s left, a 14.2-inch-diagonal cluster display behind the steering wheel and a 16.9-inch-diagonal Infotainment screen to the driver’s right. The OLED is paper-thin, and its curvature positions the displays for optimal visibility.

Industry-first AKG audio technology, led by a 36-speaker AKG Studio Reference system.

Conversation Enhancement using microphones and AKG speakers for front- and rear-passenger communication.

Industry-first AKG audio technology

Known worldwide for microphones and headphones used by leading musicians in recording studios and live venues, AKG has brought its audio technology to the auto industry for the first time, exclusively for Cadillac.

The result is the Escalade’s available AKG Studio Reference system, 36 speakers powered by three amplifiers that deliver 28 channels, offering a listening experience that is astonishingly crisp and immersive. A standard AKG Studio system includes 19 speakers and a large enclosed subwoofer, powered by a 14-channel amplifier.

FAST FACT: AKG ORIGINS

AKG was founded in Vienna in 1947 by physicist Dr. Rudolf Goerike and engineer Ernst Pless; and the company quickly grew into one of the most prominent in sound technology.

In addition to its crisp sound output, AKG technology enables additional advanced features in the Escalade, including:

Studio 3D Surround creates professional-level sound through the multichannel audio system, with strategically placed speakers finely tuned to deliver sound like being with the artist in the recording studio. Additional speakers in the headliner help create a 360-degree immersive listening experience.

Conversation Enhancement. Vehicle communication is enhanced for front and rear passengers as their voices are captured by embedded microphones and reproduced in the designated zone using the 36-speaker system.

Audio Rendering for navigation. Turn-by-turn navigation instructions are more intuitive with audio prompts coming exclusively from the audio system’s left- or right-hand speakers, with the prompt moving nearer to the driver as the turn gets closer.

Front Passenger Volume Control. The front-seat passenger can take charge of his or her personal audio experience, with a dedicated volume control for each front seat (included with the Studio Reference system).
