Cadillac Escalade

The Cadillac Escalade is the SUV for families and groups who want space without compromise. The 6.2 litre V8 makes 420 horsepower through a 10-speed automatic, so it moves a vehicle this large with real ease and reaches 100 km/h in around 6.1 seconds. Inside you get seven seats, second-row captain's chairs, and a 38 inch curved OLED dashboard that runs the width of the cabin. It is one of the most comfortable ways to cover long distances on Sheikh Zayed Road.

This is the car that handles everything a week in Dubai throws at it. The air ride suspension soaks up the speed bumps around Dubai Marina and JBR, and the cabin stays quiet enough for conversation from the front row to the third. With Super Cruise and a commanding driving position it suits airport runs, the daily drive to DIFC or Business Bay, and a relaxed weekend trip out to Hatta or the Al Qudra cycle track. Renting one for the trip makes far more sense than owning a vehicle this size for a short stay.

It suits large families, executives who travel with colleagues, and anyone who wants to arrive at a Palm Jumeirah villa or a hotel forecourt with quiet authority. The third row folds flat at the touch of a button, so you can carry seven passengers or load up for the airport with luggage to spare. We deliver it to your door, full of fuel and detailed, and collect it when you are done.
