751 × 400Can’t decide between the new Cadillac Escalade and the Chevy Tahoe? Both of these SUVs will give you plenty of power, safety features, and entertainment perks to enjoy, but one model in particular checks off every box.

Let's take a closer look at the 2021 Cadillac Escalade and how it surpasses the 2021 Chevy Tahoe.

Power 

You probably already know that the Cadillac Escalade is a beast of an SUV, so the engine specs for the 2021 model won’t surprise you. It comes with a 6.2-liter V8 that generates 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque, all without breaking a sweat.

The Chevy Tahoe also comes standard with a V8 engine, but it can only muster up to 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque.

Handling 

Both of these SUVs are big, but the Cadillac Escalade handles similarly to a compact crossover. As for its suspension, this review from Truck Trend says it all: “Pretty much all road undulations and imperfections are smoothed out, providing among the finest highway ride [you've] experienced outside of a high-end exotic.” 

The Chevy Tahoe, on the other hand, doesn’t provide the smoothest of rides, unless you want to upgrade to get Magnetic Ride Control. 

Comfort 

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade can seat up to eight people with its second-row bench. All three rows have tons of head- and legroom, and it also offers numerous standard amenities, including: 

  • 12-way power-adjustable front seats 
  • Leather upholstery 
  • Driver’s seat memory settings 
  • Heated first and second-row seats 
  • Power-folding second- and third-row seats
  • Heated steering wheel 

The Chevy Tahoe can also fit up to eight people. However, the base model only comes with cloth upholstery and eight-way power-adjustable front seats.  

In every one of these categories, the Cadillac Escalade is the clear winner. If you want to see what this SUV has to offer, visit our Cadillac dealership near Orange Park for a test drive. Don't forget to explore your financing options when you visit!
