The 6.2L V8 with Active Fuel Management runs on regular unleaded though premium is recommended for best performance. Expect EPA figures around 15/21 mpg city/highway for two-wheel-drive models and slightly lower for four-wheel drive. Real-world results often land near those numbers in mixed driving.
Service follows the oil-life monitoring system for changes plus tire rotations at 7,500-mile intervals. The maintenance schedule also covers filters and other items at regular mileage points. Cadillac Premium Care covers many routine services when followed.
Safety equipment includes a full set of airbags with a unique front-center bag, electronic stability control, antilock brakes, a rearview camera and parking sensors on every Standard model. Higher trims add blind-spot alerts, forward-collision warning and automatic braking. NHTSA awarded five stars in side tests and three stars for rollover. the vehicle was not rated overall and IIHS did not test it.
Keeping the Escalade means watching the oil-life percentage, rotating tires on schedule and using the recommended fuel. OnStar diagnostics help flag issues early. The strong frame and Magnetic Ride Control suspension hold up well with normal care.
