The 2016 Cadillac Escalade: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2016 Cadillac Escalade for sale by us right now. The 2016 Cadillac Escalade for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Specs, explained
Power comes from the 6.2L 8-cylinder, driving through an 8-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Combined fuel use is 13.5 L/100 km: about 41 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $209.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the Escalade makes sense
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Room inside
As a full-size SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If the Escalade is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.93 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
