EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan takes a test drive in a 2026 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum – the grandest ‘Sclade of all.
This is the top-tier, all-wheel-drive long-wheelbase version, riding on blacked-out 24-inch aluminum wheels with new glossy dark trim. There’s razor-thin LED DRLs over vertical multi-element LED headlights, and LED light blade taillights – in between, glowing pearlescent paint.
Inside, after the power doors glide open, brown and cream white interior with padded semi-aniline leather, a sweeping 55-inch panoramic screen bookended by 42 AKG speakers, warm woodgrain and three rows fit for adults. There’s a night-vision infrared camera and a 4.2-liter V-8 with 420-hp and rear-, or all-wheel-drive.
