Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac Escalade IQL offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Jeep Wagoneer, with comparable head- and legroom. The Cadillac Escalade IQL will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Jeep Wagoneer.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Cadillac Escalade IQL will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Jeep Wagoneer, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Cadillac Escalade IQL is a little narrower than the Jeep Wagoneer, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. If you go with the Cadillac Escalade IQL, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Jeep Wagoneer.

The Cadillac Escalade IQL has a larger turning radius than the Jeep Wagoneer, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
With the Cadillac Escalade IQL, you'll be able to pull heavier loads than the Jeep Wagoneer. When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac Escalade IQL greatly out-muscles the Jeep Wagoneer.

Powertrain
The Cadillac Escalade IQL has much lower torque than the Jeep Wagoneer, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Cadillac Escalade IQL has less seating than the Jeep Wagoneer, making the Jeep Wagoneer the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Cadillac Escalade IQL has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Jeep Wagoneer.
