The 2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV is a long-wheelbase version of the vaunted luxury SUV. This year, a new two-wheel drive version is available.

Available in two-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the ESV is motivated by a lusty 6.2 liter V8 with Variable Valve Timing making 403 horsepower and mountains of torque for abundant thrust. It’s mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control and tow/haul mode, which is perfectly suited for big-time pulling duties. The full-time all-wheel drive system offers enhanced all-weather maneuverability and control.

Leather seats are available to coddle all 8 occupants, while standard tri-zone climate control features individual settings for the front and rear seating areas. The optional Ultra Luxury Collection includes a wealth of amazing amenities, including heated and cooled leather front seats and a heated steering wheel for all-season comfort. Standard power adjustable pedals allow drivers of all sizes to enjoy driving this gleaming behemoth. The optional rear-seat entertainment system features an in-dash DVD player with two roof-mounted flip-down 8” diagonal screens, four wireless headphones, and remote game plug-in to entertain rear-seat passengers. The available DVD-based Navigation radio includes an 8” LCD touch screen, 6-disc DVD changer, DVD audio/video, MP3 compatibility, and Premium Bose® Surround Sound System for unparalleled sound quality, along with turn-by-turn directions and voice prompts for detailed directions. Available huge 22” 7-spoke chromed aluminum wheels are the ultimate luxury accessory.

Dual-stage front airbags, head-curtain side air bags with rollover protection for all three rows, and side airbags protect all passengers in a collision. 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes stop the vehicle with authority and minimize wheel lockup during hard braking. Standard StabiliTrak stability control system with rollover mitigation enhances vehicle control during evasive maneuvers and activates safety features if an imminent rollover is detected. Standard all-speed traction control has brake and engine intervention to limit wheelspin in slippery conditions and maximize traction.

If you want big-time luxury and the one of the ultimate status symbol SUVs, the 2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV is the ticket.
