Thinking of buying the 2011 Cadillac Escalade?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2011 Cadillac Escalade for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2011 Cadillac Escalade, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the Escalade
Owners filed 65 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, structure and electrical system; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Under the hood
It is powered by 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.
Plan on about 33 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.1 L/100 km. That works out to about $17.21 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Room inside
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Who rents the Escalade
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Escalade first, and buy only if it fits your life. Try the Escalade on your commute, then decide. Rent the Escalade for a week and see how it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
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. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Your move
