There is a buzz of excitement that has been generated by the redesigned 2021 Escalade. There are some amazing features that have started the buzz and one of those is the semi-hands free driving system. This is a feature that Cadillac has added to be able to compete with the other car companies that offer hands-free driving such as Tesla and Audi. 

While it hasn’t been released yet we know most of what we need to know about the features and pricing. We also know the release date. 

What is Cadillac Super Cruise?

Cadillac Super Cruise is a feature that is going to be released with some of the new 2021 models. The new Escalade is going to be released with this feature. While there isn’t really a full auto-pilot vehicle like we have seen in futuristic movies, the semi-hands free feature is as close as some of us will get. 

Cadillac Super Cruise is billed as full autopilot but there are some things that you need to know. One of the features of this is the driver attention system. That’s right, to use this system you have to be paying attention. You can’t sleep or read a book. 

The good news is that when you are on a compatible highway or a highway in the car’s map system, you will be able to take your hands off of the wheel and feet off of the pedals. Provided there is no heavy traffic. 

This feature works with a detailed and constantly updated map system as well as GPS to guide the car. 

2021 Cadillac Escalade Price

When you think about a large SUV with a feature like Super Cruise you may wonder what the price will be and if it could possibly be affordable. It certainly isn’t the least expensive SUV on the market. 

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade has a starting price of $77,000 for the Luxury edition and will go up from there depending on trim level and added features. Fortunately, all of the new Cadillacs will have Super Cruise which means even the base models could have it as standard. 

If you are wanting the best of the best luxury that Cadillac has to offer, then you will be paying over $100,000. That is $101,290 for the Platinum Sport edition to be exact, and that price doesn’t include the extra features that can be added. 

2021 Cadillac Escalade Release Date

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade is actually available to order now. However, it won’t be released to the dealerships until late 2020. This could be around the holidays but that is purely speculation. Although some drivers would love to get this full-sized SUV as a Christmas gift, there has not been a firm date released.

When the new Cadillac Escalade does hit the showrooms, there will be drivers everywhere ready to discover what it is like to drive a car with autopilot.
