This black Cadillac Escalade Platinum Sport, standard wheelbase, based in Orange County, is the most technologically equipped Escalade in our fleet, with a 55 inch pillar to pillar display and power doors. Dark and anonymous outside, it seats seven and adds massage seats and a studio tuned AKG audio system standard. A chauffeur is available on request for a client day.
The dashboard is the reason this trim exists. A single curved OLED display runs 55 inches across the cabin, with a tilted touchscreen below it for climate and seat controls, and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension layers on top of the standard Magnetic Ride. All of that sits in front of the same 6.2 liter V8 making 420 horsepower, with four wheel drive and a 6.1 second run to sixty. On the climb up Newport Coast Drive toward Pelican Hill the air suspension smooths the elevation change, and Super Cruise takes over for the flat stretch of the 405 into Los Angeles.
Black inside and out in the top trim means the interior is where the photographs come from. The 55 inch curved display is genuinely striking on camera, shot at night with the screen lit and the rest of the cabin dark, and it is the single frame that explains why this trim costs more than the others in our fleet. Outside, in a parking structure near South Coast Plaza or Fashion Island, it needs evening or architectural light to show any shape at all. Prioritise the interior. This car also carries the lowest per mile overage rate in the fleet.
This is the top interior trim of the six Escalades we run, which means the 55 inch display, the power doors, the massage seats and the studio tuned audio system, standard rather than optional. That is what the extra rate buys, since every Escalade in our fleet shares the same engine and seven seat layout. It also carries the lowest per mile overage rate in the group alongside the standard black Escalade. Book it when the people in the back of the truck, on a client day in Irvine or a night out from Fashion Island, are the reason for the booking.
This is the Escalade Platinum Sport, standard wheelbase, black over black, four wheel drive, the top interior trim we run. Platinum brings the 55 inch pillar to pillar display, a column shifter, power doors, an illuminated crest and backlit grille surround, Air Ride Adaptive Suspension on top of Magnetic Ride, 16 way massage front seats, and an AKG Studio Reference audio system, all standard on this trim. Seven seats across three rows with 25.5 cubic feet behind the third row, the standard body figures. Power is the 6.2 liter V8 at 420 horsepower and 460 lb ft, reaching sixty in 6.1 seconds.
