#Escalade #GLS #SUV
europe needs the escalade
both are unreliable expensive junk
UhHhHhH they need to film a sex scene already. You can cut the sexual tension with a knife.
That was a good intro guys. Lol for real
Escalade is big a to big for European roads , who needs cars like this? Plus quality compared to Mercedes is rubbish , if you want to really compare take gls Maybach or gls63amg were Escalade is got not chance at all
Please make a video on gmc yukon denali 2021
Looks good in that red
You got class, you get a Mercedes! 💯😁
this video was informative, you touched on points I wanted to know about and you are entertaining, subbing for sure!
escalade looks way better in person then in this video and then the Mercedes which like you guys said looks like a I bigger version of the 3 other sun's they have. Also there's a 2022 rumor of the escalade being offered with the 600HP+ supercharged motor that's in the Camaro in order to compete with the power of the srt/trackhawk and the Mercedes turbo suv's....
Matt Watson from Carwow with his stick of truth "Mines the bigggest"
cadillac really fucked up... aside from them being dead last in reliability. they ruined the escalade lol
That intro was gold 😂
Now why did you bring to comparison the Mercedes with that type of Escalade? To be a fair comparison, bring the Premium edition to the table. The purpose of this video is to make the Mercedes look good
Your friend can talk crap all he wants about Escalade. It is a beast compared to Mercedes and I would take the Cadillac over the Mercedes. For the price, the Cadillac would be a better buy. It's quite comfortable as well road presence is amazing and you would get more head turns with the Cadillac. Mercedes too me seems to be bland if you were to set this against the G wagon that would have been interesting.
Cadillac looks so much better, and this is coming from someone who use to drive mercedes, GL, CLK, E...Mercedes has gone down the hill big time..Tesla is where its at, but for a behemoth rolling luxury, cant beat a Escalade.
The Escalade makes the GLS look like a toy
@13:01 all you have to do to change the "Next Level Ambient Lighting" is ask. Just say hey Mercedes change the color to Blue and the ambient lighting changes or you can do it the long way through the settings but why bother when your assistant "Mercedes" can do it for you.
For me the Cadillac has much more charisma than Mercedes specially the GLE i just dont like the look of it
Can’t wait till my onyx white platinum sport get here. Perfect 40th bday present to myself. Lol
The Cadillac looks like the big brother of a Skoda Kodiac (an european SUV)
I'm from the South, so bigger is better. Escalade has my vote!
Drove both. Caddy still rides like a truck and is way too big. You feel every pothole and imperfection even on the highway. Caddy also is not smooth taking off. Benz like silk. Picking up my GLS 580 today for about $112K. Powerful, quiet; unless in sport mode, comfortable and will look nice next to my wife’s SL 550. Really is as close to comfortable as an S Class as you can get. . No need for 3rd seats or really second row but tons of storage space.
but how can you compare a cadillac to a Mercedes, they're different tiers
@Greg Pim What I mean is Mercedes is more bmw/Audi level which is a bit higher end luxury cars while Cadillacs are more Lincoln Acura lexus level. Although a Toyota 4Runner is the same price as many luxury suvs they aren’t really compared because it’s a toyota
Why? What’s in their respective tiers then? The prices are similar.
Escalade is more like van
Do you have a video of the range Rover and Mercedes G L5 80? I would like to know which one is better Thank you
The Escalade is Way Better!!!! i Love Cadillacs!!!!!
"It actually sounds really significant when I say it out loud" 😂
In india u will get a GLC in this price
With a lot more height that Cadillac looks tippy and may needs a bit of a subtle widening with pumped up fenders to balance it out. That massive and very blunt front fascia alone says the Escalade's the pick for showing off.. and then you see the vehicle's very eye-catching screens. That definitely needs to be looked at by Cadillac ( 16:23 ). AKG is not really renowned for cranking out big bass, their more into mid-range/voice and clarity.
Would buy but, need to be wealthy first!
I’d like to see the Escalade vs the new navigator
I have a 21 escalade. I Don't like it. Too big too slow and I loved my 2019. Going to get a V8 Range rover for my wife next week.
I cant say this enough, please don't buy overpriced junk from JLR.
Did y’all forget the Lexus LX570
Also known as the most outdated car ever
The demonic conga meteorologically please because pyjama successfully guarantee upon a tangible hill. angry, vague fang
A Chevy being compared to a genuine luxury machine . Not fair but great video lol
american cars compared to european cars makes them look without any type of style. there are much more details in the Mercedes.
I know that anybody getting an oversized American SUV are compensating for that something, but don't tell me that an Escalade or even a Navigator next to any other European SUV, doesn't look intimidating or Presidential.
If one can afford either, get them both.
Not gonna lie the GLS’s exterior isn’t really that nice... Just my view, nice vid tho
I prefer the older GLS
@Johnny Dwyer exactly lmaoo
Yeah but those people who buy the vehicle, but that vehicle so we can look at the BADGE and think they are special.
“It’s an Escalade!” Me: “It’s a Tahoe.”
Y’all are such Mercedes fanboys anyone can see the Escalade is better and cheaper and more high tech Mercedes you’re basically paying for the brand only 😭👎🏻
@Kristiāns Ozoliņš cap
No. The GLS has a nicer interior and drives better
I’ve been wanting to upgrade from my 17’ S550 but frankly none of the SUVs live up to that smooth perfect ride. Next up has to be Bentagaya or Cullinan.
Cadillac wins
The Escalade is a real man’s vehicle!... I love it!
I don’t know if it’s a real mans vehicle . I see mostly ladies driving them, including me 😂😂😂
I agree. That Merc looks like a women's car.
Does both end the review without the check engine light going on?? Well that's impressive !
The Caddy all day long!
Paying 100k for a car that will lose so much value in 2 years is ridiculous!
It's weird how Mercedes designs the center dash with large vents being the focal point. Modern design should be reducing the presence of the vents, or at least integrating them in a more subtle way. It looks boring, stupid, and outdated to me.
I'm not a fan of Mercedes interiors
Why Escalade so big? oh cause Americans are too FAT
Cadillac changed designer or what? It looks like a building
You argue like husband and wife that don't want to get into a fight
Escalade certainly has a nice refreshing look, but since they are built by GM...Honestly, I won't even buy a Mercedes build in America, their quality is just not as good as the ones built in Europe. I had a GL63, then I traded for a G63 and bought another Cayenne. GL, being built in an Alabama factory I believe, had many minor issues over the course of two years. But hey, if you want reliability then you should buy Toyota/Lexus. It is just a disappointment to see luxury cars in America don't get as good QC as cars that are built in Europe.
When a Canadian says “to be fair”.....
The Escalade needs the LT4.
Comparing the German engineering to an American pile of junk.
Escalade > GLS.
I like Mercedes, but that Cadillac is just Sexy
кадилак .
Come on Caddillac is by itself sorry.
I'd take Escalade for sure.
In presence of all eletric car with zero maintenance, who will lock in money in gasoline based cars and keep paying high maintenance fees every quarter ??? These cars would become dinosaur in next 5 years, specially European ones due to high maintenance cost !!! I don't think they will be relevant in 2025 ! 😀
Most people will have already got rid of them before 2025
I don’t even have $100,000 to buy these I just enjoy throttle house for the content.
nah the king is Lexus Lx570
No.It’s the most outdated car ever
Escalade ALL day...He said, "It drives smaller. It tackles that it's a giant better than the Escalade does." My man the GLS is 7-8 HUNDRED pounds LIGHTER, it's SHORTER in HEIGHT and LENGTH and NOT as WIDE as the Escalade. It BETTER drive SMALLER...#GiveMeJESUS
Add some faux wood paneling and the Escalade looks like a 70 station wagon and in 20k miles the Escalade feels like a 82 Silverado
I'm pretty sure they can fit the gls inside the escalade. Also the Cadillac looks much better, this isn't close
Their gonna have to get their hands on a maybach gls 600
Apparently the Escalade is decent when taken off-road. Can one say the same for the GLS? dehave.info/down/nZaEeNixmKvGq6Q/video
They should have done the navigator it’s the king
i hate saying this, and this feels weird. but the cadillac has the better interior
Honestly that Cadillac interior is amazing. If i had to choose between the two i'd have to go with the Caddy (that is if it's reliable)
When I make enough money I'll buy both. 🙏🏾
Let's get REAL. You're taking a 6 hour road trip, you are driving, and your wife, 2 kids, AND your mother-n-law are with you......along with all of their luggage. This is no contest.....the Cadillac and a Navigator blow the German out of the water.......roominess and comfort FUCKING MATTER.
Great review! Love how you guys talk about all the bad stuff without fear of the manufacturers.
The untidy christopher extraorally fail because sunflower feasibly introduce a a rambunctious north korea. sturdy, hesitant passenger
Dear followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep your money safe.!!!Share so more people don't get screwed.
i thought the joke at 1st was about the trucks, i said “james is way longer” ...
A Cadillac Cimarron looks better than a new Escalade that is sad lol!
The Escalade looks like the Ford Expedition
That's the thing with all GLE too it's always shaky and whenever you hit patwhole the whole car vibrates and another thing You will get with every new Merc as soon as your tyre tred is 3m the left tyre will keep struggling for grip
"Pimpin' ain't easy" cheerio, mate.
I rode in that gls and idk that was the nicest smoothest ride ever
In my opinion Cadillac Escalade 2020 better than Mercedes Gls
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wonder how the car companies feel after sending you a test car and you say it’s shit
So this tells you the navigator is a better riding suv than both
Escalade. The best!
ridiculous review
People who buy this buy it for the looks and status...They don't care if the suspension is too soft or the sound system shakes the HUD, they just want to be the mom with the biggest SUV when they drop off kids at school.
American 🇺🇸 is best for Long Ride Comfort.
I like more the GLS
My friend just got the GLS 580, just went joyriding with him. So freaking luxurious and fast.
The all new Escalade has no competition
X7 instead of GLS, Navigator instead of Escalade
The Escalade make the Gls look small!
The Mercedes is underwhelming in terms of looks. The Escalade is breathtaking but too expensive and too slow. 0-60 in 6 sec is horrible. It should be at least 5 sec.
Escalade wins by a huge margin. They don't even compare which shows why mercedes is overrated big time based off price. How is the O to 60 on the mercedes that slow with that much power?
The Escalade is larger, but certainly not better. You can pretty much get the same car as the Tahoe.
Is this destroying luxury cars channel?
Why so many1 dislikes lol
