- Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! TH-cam's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we'll take an up close and personal, in depth look at the 2012 Cadillac Escalade Platinum Collection.
MSRP pricing for the Escalade, before options start at:
Base: $63,170
Luxury: $67,395
Premium: $71,675
Platinum: $79,945
During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth educational videos of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of TH-cam!

Anyone from 2023 watching?
Me because I want a Caddy SUV to replace my 16 CTS AWD. It's not nit that great in deep slushy snow. I don't want to pay 50k for something that's not being used all the time.
Me
Yes
yupppp
Here I am
Just found one exactly this model 2012 ESV Platinum black. 1 owner, retired, kept at their vacation home. 42k miles!!! Looks and feels like it came right from the factory in Dallas Texas. Bought it for 35k
I’m in heaven. The most luxurious thing I’ve ever felt. And it’s a beast on the road! That engine and exhaust purrs!
We wanted this generation model because there is nothing like this design. It gets far more attention on the road than the newer generation. FAR more.
We looked for a very long time and glad we held out until we found this baby ✌️
What size tires and hows the ride quality are the seats really comfortable????
42k 35k 😴.
❤ I envy you.
This escalades Looks amazing!
By far this generation Cadillac Escalade is my overall favorite from its ground-breaking design back in 2007 and to its prominence refresh back in 2012 with dual exhaust tips on Premium and Platinum trims. Very nice and powerful suvs.

I bought a 2014 black on black ESV Platinum in May from a local owner with 86k miles. The vehicle was pampered in every way imaginable. It is exactly what I imagined it to be. I absolutely LOVE it!
The best Birthday gift I ever got for myself. I love my Cadillac Escalade Platinum. I love to show off.
Timeless! This gen escalade ages well.
especially the white ones
5 years later these interiors have fallen apart
@@i_read_bad_reviews not if they're low mileage well taken care of
@@i_read_bad_reviews most have but some hold up. I recently bought a 2012 yukon Denali with a nearly mint interior. You just need to know where to look
@@xxcloudxx6606 not every low milage example is created equal
2018 this is still one of the best looking SUV. !!!
I just recently brought the ESV it's a beautiful truck and actually fun to drive. The gas mileage was a little excessive to me when I first got it so I used my hypertech tuner to change the fuel curve and I adjusted for the 26's I've put on it and I noticed a better gas mileage in the first week. I know many people don't like sound systems but it's at the shop now having 4 12's and improved mids/highs put in it. Sounds crazy to buy a 80k truck and put 14k worth of rims and sound in it. I luv it
Better than the new model. The ride quality of the new model is that of a dump truck. This one rides like a cloud and has a more elegant look as opposed to the space aged look of the new unit.
Travis Isaacs the ride quality in the new Escalade you mentioned sounds a lot like the ride quality of the current Toyota Tacoma, which also rides like a dump truck (though it’s smaller than a dump truck).
Travis Isaacs lol this comment did not age well
Classic luxury vs modern luxury
I like to watching these videos to remind my self why i have to keep up my hustle, its all the motivation i need.
This guy does great reviews
this is the best escalade model I've ever seen perfect appearance
The song that played on the 99.5 Radio Station was the song “You Might Think” by Weezer and yes, that was the same song featured in “Cars 2”
Beautiful always loved Escalades.
I love this Version Escalade so MUCH! i wouldn't mind doing a 72 month loan to pay this baby off, as long as i knew i was about to get up each morning and drive it, and wash it :)
Cam Mims 7 years-too long.
Wow how im gonna miss this chasis....looks so much better than the 2015 model
I agree completely. The only complaint I have about this escalade is the wood trim on the steering wheel. They should have made it a full wood steering wheel instead of wood trim that looks like it's glued on.
Just do like I'm doing and stick with your GMT900 instead of getting a new GMT K2XX.
@@Trikster1of4 Escalades have HEATED steering wheels !!! HELLO, People !!!
Im gonna knock 1 thing about this generation compared to the previous one.
The platinum trim of the former generation Escalade (2003-2006) had BOTH ventilated as well as heated rear seats where this generation’s platinum had only heated rear seats.
To me, this is a true "balla" car I love everything about it, except the price haha
There pretty affordable now...
@@mercedesbenzs600bash which is why it's on my 2021 watchlist to buy lmao 😂
I WILL NEVER OWN ANYTHING ELSE. I have put 120k miles in 14 months on my 2009 platinum, its been in 7 accidents, sunk to the bottom of a lake TWICE, hydrolocked the engine, rolled over once, and I use it for drag racing (as evidenced by the vids on my channel) as well as AUTOCROSS and sand racing, and it routinely goes offroad. I once didn't realize my oil filter was loose before a racing/ tug of war competition, and it started kncoking very badly. I still won the competition! It only had 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL, OUT OF 6!!!! I couldn't believe it still ran, and the knocking NEVER came back after I added oil. Guess what? NOT A SINGLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AT ALL!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe this car, it is the most reliable car I've ever owned, and has needed 40 dollars worth of repair because the exhaust flex pipe gasket rotted. NO rebuilds, NOTHING. I don't even believe it myself, so I dont expect others too lol
97336cf q
how much does cadillac paid u?
You just can't beat the reliability of an LS engine. Whether you got the L92 (gasoline) or L9H (Flex Fuel) they're 2 of the best engines.
97336cf i still love the tahoe ltz
I'll add everything in your comment to my list of things that never happened.
Would love to see a Cadillac Escalade 2015 review. Stating the obvious: awesome videos.
I got that off-black Cadillac, midnight drive, got that gas pedal, lean back,taking my time, I'm rollin out, roof off, letting in sky, i shine, the city never looked so bright!

Beautifully crafted truck, luxury, art, and quality personified. I love Cadillac.

I like the express driver window up & down. This is one nice thing Cadillac has on their cars for some time is the Bose which sounds really great.
Jesus! I remember this vid brand new. It been 7 years.
PAVEL K. Time flies by way to fast. Still a beautiful vehicle 7 years later!
My dream Cadillac SUV! Amazing job bro.
That's my dream car!!! In love for that Cadillac Escalade. This car is perfect on this edition, the wheels, the sit, everthing just incredible. Great job american friend :)
Absolutely love Escalades. Their worth every penny.
This guy is the best!!! Reviewing cars!!!!
Watching in 2020 and that car still seems brand new
facts
This week i purchased a 2011 durango with 10k miles. All the years of decepreciation were it usually hits the hardest have passed. For 25k and still with that brand new smell with replaced leather seats and a dvd systen installed its one of the best buys yet. Sure it doesnt have remote start. Hell my 03 explorer i traded had more features than the new durango but I missed that new car smell. And i dont loose as much buying an almost new car
Great review as usual Mr. Saabkyle! But yeah, this vehicle is in dire need of an overhaul in terms of design, performance, engineering, and especially interior quality. But I am impressed with the minor upgrades GM made to the interior of the Platinum Escalade. A step in the right direction in my opinion.
The sound systems in the new cadillacs are so nice! Our 2012 srx premium has the clearest sounding bose speakers ive ever heard.
Nice job as always Kyle!
Thank you Saabkyle04
waiting for 2015 Cadillac Escalade Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review version :)
The esv is built on the suburban platform the standard platinum is on the Tahoe platform.. there is also a est that at the time was built on the now discontinued avalanche platform.
Beautiful !! Love the Platinum Escalade!
gongrats on the engagement kyle and good review as always
My thoughts exactly.
The interior is beautiful.
great vid bro. keep doin what you doin!
my friend has a 2012 white escalade esv platinum collection and that car is one of the nicest cars ive seen... my neighbor has a rolls royce... it even has heated and cooled cupholders.....like this car is amazing
Nice car good looking too. In my opinion the best w/ the chevy tahoe and suburban
It roars beautifully!!!
This is just beautiful!!
Amazing car and brilliant review great review
At first, I was getting a bit confused when he was saying previous models -- I was thinking the last generation Escalade, which were the 2002-2006 generations -- but he is referring to the previous years of the 2007-2014 Escalades.
And for the record, the 2007 Cadillac Escalade and 2014 Escalade base and luxury trims both came with harden materials in the bottom portion of the doors (as he was mentioning -- not only in the previous models but in the 2014 too, premium trim as well, except for the platinum models, which is a high-end Escalade for Cadillac and offer pretty much the best of the best in interior quality, and cost a cool penny.
Nice job on the vid! Keep up the good work!
Depends on the body height, width and sometimes weight. Also depends if you want them stacked or side by side and also how much concealment, if any, is required. Chopped up though you can get quite a couple of dozen normal built men.
I love the way the exhaust sounds, sounds like luxery...
She’s gotta be somebody’s baby!! Love that song!
ايووواا....ماشاءالله عليك, بياض ويه انك تستخدم اسلوب الاميركان, ونعم فيك يا شنب.
I can't argue with that logic, that's a good observation dude
Wow I like it it has 4 DVDs awesome and I like how they made the platinum because I like the color of the seats and the sides and I like how they made more room on the plat NUM
Escalade moving out, flashing wheels, tight turns!
I love the way the meters turn on start up
Looking back at this... I like this one so much better than the new one. This looks good, is utilitarian, and it's high quality. The new one screams "I have money and no taste!"
Alex P yes! so true. this body style looks so much classier and sexier.
Alex P I totally agree
Alex P ,
Yeah its body is so beautiful
Alex P l
Finally a cool car thanx Kyle
I'm definitely gonna miss this body style after they update the SUVs in 2014, it was a huge improvement over the previous generation.
Good job !! nice video .
Man that sounds good!
Great job on the video
MY FAVORITE TRUCK!!!!! LOVE CADILLACS!!!
Cadillac for life love em ^_^
Great review great car
You forgot to showcase the coolest difference between the Platinum and other Escalades. The all LED headlamps, they were doing a good year plus before Audi offered it.
It's going great!
Many thanks for the clarification.
