2016 Cadillac Escalade Exterior
The exterior design of the 2016 Cadillac Escalade provides a signature look of quality, elegance and capability. The styling cues combine sculpted surfaces and high-technology embellishments to give the model a unique, stand-out appearance and presence.
The front, dynamic styling cues are enhanced by a highly-detailed Galvano chrome grille with a unique, almost brushed appearance. It is accented by full light-emitting diode (LED) lighting in the front and rear that creates unique, razor-like vertical light signatures. LEDs provide even, steady and very bright illumination, while delivering longer life and using significantly less energy than conventional lighting.
The headlamps incorporate the industry’s first Total Internal Reflection LED high-beam function, which consists of four vertically-stacked crystal lenses and LEDs. The low beam consists of five crystal lenses and LEDs that create the light pattern. Look closely, and you’ll see the Cadillac script is branded in the headlamp bezel. At the rear, tall and thin vertical LED taillamps reach to the top of the Escalade and feature the brand’s crest insignia, which illuminates in the dark.
Inlaid doors fit into the body side openings to provide a quiet interior and smooth aerodynamics. This also helps Escalade slip through the air on the highway with minimal drag and greater efficiency. Lightweight aluminum hood and aluminum liftgate panels also contribute to the efficiency of the full-size SUV.
