Nobody has ever said that the Cadillac Escalade wasn't fancy enough, but that hasn't stopped GM from announcing a new Platinum edition of the luxury SUV. If the Escalade is said to be wearing a suit, then the Platinum edition is like wearing a tailor-made tuxedo with tails and shiny shoes. Coming late this year, the Cadillac Escalade Platinum edition will sit at the top of the trim line range. According to GM's press release, it will receive "elegant, hand-crafted luxury additions to both the exterior and interior while the entire Escalade range gets new technical features."Inside, seats will be wrapped in Nappa semi-aniline leather, and hand stitched & hand wrapped leather will cover upper door panels, the dashboard and the centre console. There is also sueded microfibre headliner trim, exotic wood accenting, and buyers can choose from two different interior themes.

Retaining it's cachet among celebrities and professional athletes, GM has added layers of refinement to the completely redesigned #2015 Cadillac Escalade, which made it's debut last week in New York City.

Like many other luxury car manufacturers, Cadillac knows that they cannot survive in today's market without a full range of sport utility vehicles in it's showroom. According to a report from Reuters, the Detroit based luxury brand will add three SUV models to it's line-up by 2017.

GM has announced that it will reveal it's redesigned 2015 Cadillac Escalade K2XX to the world for the first time on October 7th in New York City. It will be the only member of GM's family of large SUVs that will not debut at the Texas State Fair.

GM is describing it's next-gen K2XX as a "bold, evolutionary statement." GM is planning to introduce 10 new or redesigned Cadillac models during the next two years, as it seeks to overhaul it's overall image and attract new customers. Along with the Escalade is the redesigned CTS. We're also anticipating Cadillac to launch a new small crossover and a large, RWD sedan.
