Wagoneer vs Cadillac Escalade

Capability and Economy

Thinking of taking yourself and the family down to the lake for the weekend? Then you’re going to want to bring your favorite outdoor adventure gear—like jet skis or a boat—and you’ll need to make sure that your SUV can bring them along. When properly equipped, the 2022 Cadillac Escalade can tow up to 7,700 pounds.

Meanwhile, the 2022 Wagoneer can haul up to 10,000 pounds when properly equipped, which is enough for:

• 25-foot-plus-long camping trailer 
• Large boat 
• 2-horse trailer

When it comes to actually getting to the lake, if you choose the Escalade, you’ll have an EPA-estimated 14 city/19 highway MPG. On the other hand, if you decide to go with the Wagoneer, you’ll have an EPA-estimated 16 city/22 highway MPG to play with.

Interior Comfort

Even if you and the family plan to rough it out and sleep under the stars, the ride to the campsite doesn’t have to be a covered wagon experience. Both the 2022 Wagoneer and the 2022 Cadillac Escalade have several available features with which you can outfit your SUV to make it a more convenient ride.

These available features include:

• Heated seats
• Heated steering wheel
• Head-Up Display
• Rear seat entertainment

However, the Wagoneer has some standard features that are only offered on higher trims of the Escalade.

The 2022 Wagoneer has standard ventilated front seats, which will help to keep you cool on those August camping trips right before the kids get back to school. It also offers available second-row heated seats for when the kids are reluctant to get to school on those chilly December mornings.

Safety Features

It isn’t all about power and comfort, though. You also need to get to your destination safely. Both the 2022 Wagoneer and Cadillac Escalade have several standard safety features designed to keep you and your family safe. These features include:

• Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist
• ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera
• Forward Collision Warning

However, the Wagoneer comes standard with Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, which only comes available on the Cadillac Escalade. This can help with backing out of a crowded parking lot, especially when you’ve got a cooler in the back packed with snacks for a weekend of roasting hot dogs and making s’mores.
