Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac Escalade offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Chevrolet Tahoe, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Cadillac Escalade and the Chevrolet Tahoe.

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 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Chevrolet Tahoe, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Cadillac Escalade is about the same width as the Chevrolet Tahoe. When looking at overall length, the Cadillac Escalade takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Chevrolet Tahoe.

Handling
The Cadillac Escalade has the same turning radius as the Chevrolet Tahoe, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Cadillac Escalade will do just as well as the Chevrolet Tahoe, since they have about the same towing capacity. The Cadillac Escalade has a little more horsepower than the Chevrolet Tahoe.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Cadillac Escalade transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Chevrolet Tahoe.

Utility
The Cadillac Escalade offers greater seating capacity than the Chevrolet Tahoe, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Cadillac Escalade as you will in the Chevrolet Tahoe.
