The Chip Shortage Has Claimed Super Cruise On The Cadillac Escalade
GM has been working to bring the feature to more models, but the Escalade was the only one that already had it.
Super Cruise has hit a snag. The semi-autonomous driving functionality launched in the now-discontinued Cadillac CT6 and due to appear in other General Motors models in the near future has been temporarily pulled from the 2022 Escalade, marking yet another casualty of the chip shortage.
With the CT6 gone, the Escalade has been the only vehicle to include the feature. Super Cruise was also supposed to reach the CT4 and CT5 with “limited availability” beginning in July.
GM’s reassuring the media that it’s working to get Super Cruise back into the Escalade, having confirmed the system’s absence to Motor1 and telling the site that it’s “confident in our team’s ability to find creative solutions to mitigate the supply chain situation and resume offering the feature for our customers as soon as possible.”
But Super Cruise was destined for so much more. According to a GM press release from July, the company was planning to bring the feature to 22 vehicles by 2023, from the GMC Hummer EV to the Chevrolet Bolt. The chip shortage was very much in full swing two months ago, so perhaps this was optimistic thinking, or perhaps GM believed that chip supplies will stabilize enough over the next two years to make that an achievable goal.

Cadillac Escalade review: America’s $100k answer to the Range Rover?
How much is it?
Prices range anywhere from $89,000 to $121,000 depending on your trim, spec and how many options you load up. Which is a lot. But the latest Escalade is the best one yet and should have its US counterparts worried.
Compared to its European rivals there’s still plenty of work to do. However, its biggest strength is that it’s not
European and is as American as things get. It’s still the four-wheeled American dream for a hip hop generation.
And that has its own charm and appeal. In the same way you’re inclined to go to In N Out as soon as you land in LA, or go grab a hot dog in New York. When you’re in America you want to drive an Escalade.
And as long as rappers keep rapping about them, people will keep buying them. Luckily there’s a lot more to rap about now. I just have no idea how Jay Z is going to spit bars about a 38-inch OLED display. But that’s his job, not mine.

An Escalade? Now that’s big pimpin’! Sure is. Some would say this Cadillac is a true rapper’s delight. See, to a certain generation (the MTV generation that grew up on Jackass, Pimp My Ride and Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’ video) the Cadillac Escalade is an icon. A true totem of hip-hop culture and...

This Is The Cadillac Escalade V
Meet Cadillac's entry into the super-fast SUV segment
General Motors wants you to know that even though the future is electric, the present is still very much gas powered… and loud.
Cadillac revealed the first images of its new Escalade V ahead of its official launch this spring. Right now there isn’t too much information to go on – but there are still some things we can expect from The General’s SUV monster.
It’ll certainly be V8 powered – as teased in a video released Thursday. Odds are it will have a similar supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that can be found in the new CT5-V Blackwing. In that car, the engine produces a healthy 668 horsepower and 649 pound-feet of torque. That should be enough to get the Escalade V up to speed rather quickly. You can also probably expect a 10-speed automatic and all-wheel drive to be included.
This is, again, all speculation since GM won’t be releasing full specs of the Escalade V until the spring.
It may come as a surprise, but the V doesn’t look drastically different from the standard Escalade. The truck dons a mesh grille up front and a large diffuser and quad exhaust tips out back.

Cadillac is building a ‘performance’ version of the Escalade
The Escalade V will likely use an iteration of the CT5-V Blackwing’s supercharged 6.2-litre V8
This absolute behemoth is the Cadillac Escalade V – the first ever SUV to wear Cadillac’s “high-performance” V-Series badge. Quite how performance-orientated you can make a 2.6 tonne, 5.4m long Escalade remains to be seen, but consider us intrigued.
Cadillac hasn’t released any technical information yet, but the Twitter teaser below gives away the V8 hiding under that tectonic plate of a bonnet. A 420bhp 6.2-litre V8 is available on standard Escalades, so expect this to be a variation of the CT5-V Blackwing’s supercharged 6.2-litre LT4 unit. It might not quite have the 668bhp of its saloon sibling, but it’ll still be monstrous.

This NYT Story About A 'Self-Driving Road Trip' Is Full Of Dangerous Misunderstandings UPDATED - Jalopnik
A New York Times writer named Farhad Manjoo — who I’m sure is a fantastic person in many rich and varied ways — recently found a way to, under the cover of journalism, snag a sweet, comfortable Cadillac Escalade for a family road trip. No shame there, I’ve done basically the same thing.

Cadillac Escalade-V
Cadillac revealed full details surrounding the 2023 Escalade-V - the industry's most powerful full-size SUV. It is the first-ever Cadillac V-Series SUV - an elevation of design, performance and technology and the purest expression of the passion that exists at the core of Cadillac.
Boasting a potent blend of refinement, power and technology, Escalade-V features performance-inspired styling and an unmistakable sound that combine for a head-turning street presence. With these distinctive attributes, the Escalade-V expands the V-Series lineup, now in its fourth generation, which offers more levels of performance while preserving the lineage of the original lineup introduced in 2004.
"Customers and enthusiasts have asked for an Escalade-V, and we're thrilled to bring this high-performance SUV to market in the year of Cadillac's 120th anniversary," said Global Cadillac Vice President Rory Harvey. "We do not deploy the V-Series designation lightly. The arrival of the 2023 Escalade-V is the result of a rigorous development program that allows this highly anticipated model to meet the criteria and capability thresholds established by nearly two decades of inspired V-Series performance."
At the heart of the Cadillac Escalade-V is a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine rated at 682 horsepower (508 kilowatts) and 653 lb-ft of torque (885 Nm). Standard performance elements include a 10-speed automatic transmission calibrated for Escalade-V, full-time active all-wheel-drive system and exclusive suspension hardware and software calibrations. An Escalade-V ESV version is also available.

The 2023 Escalade-V Is the Most Powerful Cadillac Ever With 682 HP
Cadillac says the ultra-Escalade will do 0-60 in under 4.4 seconds thanks to 653 lb-ft of torque.
Here it is, boys and girls – the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V. Beneath that familiar profile lurks the most powerful drivetrain GM has ever stuffed in an SUV.
The centerpiece here is the engine, and the Escalade has a big one — a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that’s quite similar to the one found in the CT5-V Blackwing. But in the Escalade, that small-block gets an even bigger supercharger than the one on Caddy’s super sedan, 2.65 liters to be exact. That’s bigger than most engines on sale today.
It packs a hell of a punch, too. Thanks to that blower, the Escalade-V makes 682 horsepower and 653 lb-ft of torque from that handbuilt-in-Bowling-Green engine. The extra power will come in handy: The short-wheelbase Escalade weighs roughly 6,300 pounds, rising to just under 6,500 if you upgrade to the long-wheelbase ESV. Despite that heft, Cadillac says the V will sprint to 60 in “under 4.4 seconds” and rip a 12.75-second quarter-mile.
Cadillac touts the Escalade-V as the “most powerful full-size SUV ever.” It’s a technicality of sorts, as the 710-hp Durango SRT Hellcat and 707-hp Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk occupy smaller vehicle categories.

Behemoth Cadillac Escalade-V has a 6,2-litre V8 and 508 kW
The first Cadillac SUV to be adorned with the V badge has now been confirmed in typical American fashion with a sizable supercharged-V8 which packs 508 kW and 885 N.m. Say hello to the behemoth Cadillac Escalade-V.
The sub three-ton Escalade-V employs the same 6,2-litre supercharged engine found in the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing – a sharp and precise handling creation aimed squarely at the premium sedan segment. Unlike most of its European competition, it can be specified with a clutch pedal and a manual transmission. Both V models will also be handcrafted in the Corvette production plant in Kentucky. There are some differences though, where the sedan employs a 1,7-litre supercharger, the behemoth Cadillac Escalade-V comes with one whole litre more – giving it the slight edge over its lower counterpart. This means that it can hit 100 km/h from a standstill in about 4,5 seconds.

How Cadillac Engineers Made the Escalade-V Work
Building a 682-hp luxury SUV took more than just slapping a supercharger on an Escalade.
Last week, Cadillac unleashed lots of Escalade-V details and specs on the world. This 6,300-pound hot-rod SUV has a 6.2-liter LT4 supercharged V8 making 682 horsepower and 653 lb-ft of torque, and is promised to do 0-60 in under 4.4 seconds thanks to full-time all-wheel drive. It’s the most powerful street vehicle Cadillac has ever made.
How did GM manage to make it all work together? To find out, I sat down with two key engineers who have been working on the Escalade-V since development began in 2018: Howard Smith, performance variant manager at Cadillac, and Charlie Allen, an engine design system manager on Escalade-V.
You may have assumed that the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 under the Escalade-V’s hood is the same engine powering the raucous Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, but that’s not entirely the case. Remember, the high-performance Escalade gets 14 more horses (and six fewer lb-ft of torque) than Caddy’s top-dog muscle sedan.
The biggest difference is the supercharger. The Escalade gets a 2.65-liter Eaton TVS R2650 belt-driven blower, similar but not identical to what’s found in the 750-hp C7 Corvette ZR1. The Escalade-V’s supercharger is nearly a full liter larger than the 1.7-liter unit in the CT5-V Blackwing, and carries larger charge-air coolers (compared to the CT5) in its lid.
