The Appeal
Cadillac’s iconic Escalade is all about dialling things up to 11. Particularly so when it is this vehicle, the top specification Platinum model with 6L Hybrid V8 and $15,000 of extras.
It was originally part of General Motors’ corporate fleet - hence the high spec - before being bought by the seller in 2013 with only 1,678 miles on the clock. It subsequently spent time with the same keeper in Spain before he brought it to the UK in July 2023.
Always maintained by Cadillac and American specialist garages and with just 41,623 documented miles from new, this is a highly preserved and very well presented Escalade.
Cadillac’s versatile eight-seat SUV is a distinctive alternative to more common models. With its lusty V8 and useful ULEZ compliance, this well-maintained, low mileage example wears its age exceptionally lightly. The MOT runs to June 2025 with no advisories.
