16 finalists in the running to become Insider's 2020 Car of the Year

The Escalade is the undisputed King of Cadillacs, but it's been facing some stiff competition from its redesigned rival, the Lincoln Navigator. In the battle royale of full-size luxury SUVs, the Escalade had been fighting at a disadvantage for several years. But we knew a brand-new, fifth-generation Escalade was coming, and 2020 was the year it landed. The big guy got a moderate exterior update, but inside, the improvement on the technology front was dramatic.

"As far as the exterior design goes, the Escalade has been updated but not reinvented. Remember, we're essentially talking about a giant box here, so we're not going to be threatening smaller, lovelier SUVs, such as the Jaguar F-PACE, the Maserati Levante, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, or the Range Rover Velar.

"The all-new Escalade is most impressive for what it intended to be most impressive at: wowing passengers with its vast, luxurious, high-tech interior. "Otherwise, it's easier to handle the previous-generation SUV, thanks to a new independent rear suspension that both creates additional interior space and gives the big ol' truck a more car-like demeanor from behind the wheel."66 kilowatt-hour, extended-range battery pack, single electric motor, with the drivetrain producing 200 horsepower and 259 miles on a single charge.
