Real wood combined with premium cut-and-sewn materials and sueded accents, along with ambient lighting, were designed to add elegance to the interior design. Tight tolerances of the instrument panel and door panels, precision controls and triple-sealed doors were engineered and designed to reinforce a feeling of quality.

The unit is coupled with a Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission with enhanced TapShift control.
The performance of Escalade is channeled to a more sophisticated chassis and suspension system. For instance the shear-style body mounts help reduce vibrations transmitted into the vehicle. The additional chassis and suspension highlights include:
- Coil-over-shock front suspension and five-link/coil-spring rear suspension

- Third-generation magnetic ride control is standard with Tour and Sport modes.
Next, the Magnetic Ride Control is in fact a real-time damping system. It delivers more precise body motion control by managing the road every millisecond. This new technology substitutes the conventional mechanical-valve shocks with electronically controlled shocks filled with a magneto-rheological fluid containing minute iron particles. Under the presence of a magnetic field, the iron particles align to provide damping resistance almost instantly.
The security features of 2015 Cadillac Escalade has been created in order to deliver greater safet to theft attempts. They include intrusion sensor, inclination sensor and glass breakage sensors. Along with triggering the vehicle’s alarm systems, these features shut down key control systems to make it almost impossible to start or move the vehicle. OnStar Stolen Vehicle Assistance is what helps the police locate the vehicle.
