The Escalade has become one of the most successful Cadillacs ever, and the redesigned ’21 model should further cement its place in the brand’s long and storied history.

Significant interior enhancements for 2020 improve ergonomics, while a number of Kia Drive Wise driver-assist technologies now are standard, the automaker says.

The upgraded Atlas is nearly 3 ins. (76 mm) longer, because of redone front and rear bumpers that are designed to give the vehicle a more aggressive stance.

New styling, the addition of a sporty RS trim level and the inclusion of more safety and driver-assist technology across trims are among the features of the updated ’21 Equinox going on sale in the fall.

An independent rear suspension in the ’21 Escalade results in a claimed 40% increase in third-row seat room and 68% more rear cargo space. The SUV looks good, is exceptionally comfortable, and in top trim oozes quality and sophistication.

To achieve Vision Zero, vehicles will need super sensors that have a wide field of view, long range and the ability to sense objects and people at all heights so there are no gaps or blindspots.
