Thinking of buying the 2011 Cadillac Escalade?
No 2011 Cadillac Escalade is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2011 Cadillac Escalade for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 65 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, structure and electrical system; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
Its powertrain is the 6.0L 8-cylinder hybrid with four-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.
A combined rating of 11.1 L/100 km works out to about 33 litres per 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $51.63 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Escalade
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Inside and out
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Try the Escalade on your commute, then decide.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.21 in fuel.
One more step
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2011 Cadillac Escalade from us first.
