Cadillac Escalade

Cadillac has added its full-size Escalade SUV to its performance line. The hopped-up SUV is called the Escalade-V. For $149,900, buyers get a 6200-pound, three-row SUV packing a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 making 682 horsepower and 653 lb-ft.

For many years, Cadillac was the brand that embodied the latest in technology at General Motors. But in recent years, the feature gap between luxury cars and mass-market vehicles has narrowed due to consumer demand and expectations for tech.

For the people in my neighborhood who don’t really know me or know what I do for a living, they’re already suspicious. This week, I’m sure the talk of Walter White or being some kind of drug dealer was whispered.

A normal Cadillac Escalade ESV is already an expensive and luxurious ride. The well-heeled executive or diplomat out there that wants even more luxury and security can opt for the latest ride from Inkas. The customized vehicle is the 2019 Cadillac Escalade “Chairman.”
