Limit Pushing - Cadillac Escalade 0-60 Test

For everyone who is about to leave a comment saying that a stock Escalade can make a 0-60 time under 7 seconds...just show me the proof.

There are several claims that the Escalade ESV can reach 60 in 7 seconds, but we couldnt get this ESV to do that.

Engine:
6.2 L
Vortec 6200
V8

Hrsepower:
403 @ 5700

Torque:
417 @ 4400

Transmission:
6-speed automatic

Curb weight:
5,761 lb

Class:
Premium Large Sport-utility Vehicle

In 1998 Ford launched the Lincoln Navigator into the automotive market. GM quickly devised a response to the Navigator and in 1999 GM introduced the first generation of the Escalade. The original Escalade was launched with the 5.7 L Vortec 5700 V8 at 255 hp engine and Autotrac selectable 4x4. Over the years the Escalade became infamous for having almost identical designs as the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Yukon Denali. GM did not produce a 2001 Escalade but instead redesigned the SUV for the 2002 model year. In 2004 the Escalade received many different changes to the luxury of the vehicle including optional 20 inch rims, XM satellite radio, second-row bucket seats, and a tire pressure monitoring system. In 2005 a Platinum edition of the Escalade was introduced. The Platinum edition featured heated and cooled cup holders, 20 inch chrome wheels, moon roof, three DVD screens, and chrome accents on the steering wheel and grille.
In 2007 the Escalade underwent another remodeling. The 2007 Escalade's engine is an all-aluminum 6.2 L Vortec V8. This pushrod engine includes variable valve timing, a first in a mass-produced non-overhead cam engine. The engine produces 403 hp (23 hp more than the GMC Yukon Denali) and 417 lbs of torque. The Escalade comes with a six-speed 6L80 automatic transmission.

Car and Driver (some of the fastest auto journalists) provided these results:

2009 Escalade ( not ESV)

0-60 in 6.3, 1/4 mi in 14.8

That's incredible! Your tester was the much heavier ESV though, so different results.

@Acct1941 There is not a way in hell that an escalade can get to 60 in 6.3 seconds.

I didn't do the test, but I trust the results of this publication.

@Acct1941 I still don't believe it. I have never seen an Escalade that could do that.

@TheRe3ly 60 mph is not the speed limit

[billythekid1996]

Wow. this is legit. Yes better fuel, manual mode, and if it was cammed and twin turboed, you can do 0-60 in lower five in the ext. go drive one yourself. the 2004 I believe and up models have said to do 0-60 in 6.5 or lower. so what if its a huge suv. Do the math, figure out weight to horsepower, it also has a v8 and has shit tons of horsepower. Quit talking shit... It's a legit video.

HaHa you in america can higest drive 60 mp/h we in Germany 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000...

[hottdylan1993]

I don't know what the big deal is this is an SUV, not a Vette. who cares if it goes 0-60 in 6.5 or 6 point frigging 8 for that matter. Some people need to GROW UP, quit arguing, and quit being so frigging arrogant.
