Reviews Summary

With options quickly disappearing in the near-luxury large SUV segment, the GMC Yukon XL seems to deliver with a duo of powerful engines, a wealth of seating and storage, and 8,000 pounds of towing capacity. But manufacturing oversights and some competent competition mean you should strongly consider alternatives before making your decision. Before you discount the Yukon entirely, take a look at improvements that have been added to the 2016: a faster processor for its IntelliLink system, Apple CarPlay, and added safety features like lane-keep assist and auto high beams, plus SLT trims and above are now fitted with a hands-free power rear liftgate.

Reviews Summary

As iconic for Cadillac as the Corvette is for Chevrolet, the 2015 Escalade is redesigned and better than ever. Context is everything, though, and it sure seems like Cadillac is charging big money for a vehicle that doesn’t reflect the price paid. Image is also everything, and that’s why Cadillac dealers can’t get enough Escalades to sell.
