Toyota Land Cruiser vs. Cadillac Escalade Review

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Cadillac Escalade likely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Toyota and the Escalade have similar-sized engines, with a slight advantage to the Escalade. The Toyota Land Cruiser has no lessons to learn with respect to pickup from the Cadillac Escalade.

Utility
The Cadillac Escalade and the Toyota can accommodate the same number of passengers. There's little the Toyota Land Cruiser can tow that the Escalade cannot.

Convenience
You definitely won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Toyota Land Cruiser than with the Cadillac Escalade, as both offer comparable mileage ranges.

Comfort
Taller drivers will substantially enjoy the extra head room in the Cadillac's front cabin compared to the Toyota Land Cruiser. The Cadillac Escalade offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Toyota does.

Dimensions
The Toyota Land Cruiser's tank is almost the same size as the Cadillac Escalade's, though the Cadillac Escalade's is a bit bigger. The Toyota and the Cadillac compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Toyota Land Cruiser is considerably cheaper to get to the dealership than the Cadillac Escalade. The Toyota Land Cruiser won't tax your gasoline budget substantially more than the Cadillac Escalade will. The Toyota Land Cruiser isn't much less expensive than the Escalade as far as MSRP.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Toyota isn't quite as generous as the Cadillac Escalade's.
