The Cadillac company does not stand still and every year we see new works of engineering art. So the hybrid ceased to be just a concept car and went into production. The next step is and.

The new Cadillac Escala concept has seen the world. Representatives of the company did not hide the characteristics and parameters, calling reliable "90-60-90" data for the future model, as well as what will be under the hood.
The Escala concept from Cadillac only in the first letters resembles the bulky Escalade SUV, but in reality the car is not similar in any way and has nothing in common except the company emblem. From Spanish the word Escala is translated as large-scale. The concept was originally conceived as an expensive premium sedan.
The novelty really amazes with the innovation of technology and modern design... Taking a quick glance from the side, at first you will not understand whether it is a sedan or a coupe. Engineers adjusted the door gaps and the entire body as accurately as possible, and made the door handles electronic, similar to those on the Tesla S.
O modern technologies says the front of the sedan, a large radiator grille and an updated company logo. By the way, this is a direct hint that in the near future the Cadillac emblem will change its color and a little shape. The familiar shield with a bright color has become monotonous, and the shape has become flattened. Front optics daytime running lights are based on LEDs. Most likely, the optics will change their shape, since it is rather narrow and will poorly illuminate at a long distance.
Rear part new Cadillac Escala is nothing like the existing cars of this company. Unusual, slim rear optics will make the car stand out from the stream on the road. In the lower part of the bumper, there are two disguised tips of the exhaust system.
The trunk lid of the Cadillac Escala concept will be interesting, since it opens with part of the roof, but without the end part where the rear optics are located. There will be enough space in the trunk to put the necessary things and groceries.
The appearance of the sedan Cadillac Escala turned out to be completely new and not similar to the existing cars of this brand. Many experts say that such a prototype will be in good demand in the market, even if the price of the Cadillac Escala is not small.
It's still hard to say if this prototype will be new model or is it the next generation Cadillac car... Under the hood of the new Escala sedan will be installed a new V8 engine for two turbines with a volume of 4.2 liters. Something like this unit is installed on the famous Chevrolet corvette ZR-1. The same engine is installed on a new one. generation Cadillac CT6.
Anyway, comparing the already famous Cadillac CT6 and Cadillac Escala, the latter looks more luxurious and rich. The car also got bigger, despite the fact that many are talking about using the platform from the CT6.
For comparison Cadillac dimensions CT6 is:
- length - 5184 mm;
- width - 1879 mm;
- height - 1473 mm;
- wheelbase - 3108 mm.
- length - 5347 mm;
- the width of the sedan is 1948 mm;
