The 2024 Escalade ESV redefines luxury road trips with its limousine-length wheelbase, combining palatial space with cutting-edge tech. Its extended frame (148″ vs. standard Escalade) delivers best-in-class third-row legroom while the Magnetic Ride Control glides over imperfections like a private jet.

Highlights:

• OLED Infinity Display: 38-inch curved screen merges gauges, navigation, and entertainment

• AKG Studio 3D Audio: 36 speakers with seat-mounted exciters for concert-hall immersion

• Super Cruise: Hands-free driving on 400,000+ miles of compatible highways

• Power Slide Console: Front console glides 10″ rearward for backseat access

Rental-Specific Notes:

✓ Cargo Dominance: 42.8 cu.ft behind 3rd row (fits 8 full-size suitcases)
✓ Towing Tech: Transparent Trailer View overlays hitch camera on dash display
✘ Fuel Anxiety: 28-gallon tank costs $120+ to fill (V8 premium required)
✘ Urban Navigation: 227″ length challenges parking garages (use 360° cameras)

Pro Tips for Renters:
• Engage "Tow/Haul Mode" automatically downshifts on hills – works even without trailers
• Activate "Rear Pedestrian Alert" in crowded areas – flashes rear seatbelt lights
• Avoid curbs – standard air suspension auto-lowers 1.5" at park (vulnerable to scrapes)

Ideal For:
• Multi-generational road trips (3-zone climate + 16 charging ports)
• VIP airport transfers (second-row massaging captain’s chairs)
• Production crews (120V outlets + 5,000-lb payload capacity)

Rental Warning:
The power-retractable running boards ($2,000 option) may freeze below 20°F – manually override via infotainment screen.
