*gm* been offering Google built into the native infotainment since 2021. I also see the Escalade’s design cues in the refreshed Ford Explorer’s front fascia and sprinkled throughout. The large tall, wide & almost crest shaped grilles with the vertical body lines reminiscent of the vertical LED DRLs on a Cadillac. It’s so “Escalade esque”.
This is nice. My only concern with the infotainment is privacy. Are we able to turn off certain settings especially location based ones? Yes I know our info is all over the place but still
SavageGeese said with the Blazer EV that you basically have to share your data and they aren’t transparent about where it goes. The Blazer EV has a Google operating system too
Don't buy.... friends bought this model a few years ago and drove off the lot and the vehicle died in the street and would not start. Dealership got it back on the lot and had it for 6 weeks before it was fixed.
Cops are buying these like crazyjng and they use them hard . Woukd be intereted in hearing from a motor pool mechain how there hiolding up they must be alright for police abuse
so happy to hear they didn’t ditch apple CarPlay
Is it all new or just a refresh? Feel like it's been on sale forever
This is more of a refresh. However, the interior seems to be significantly overhauled compared to the “older” one.
It's only been on sale since like 2020, 4 years for a ground up new platform isn't long
Thanks for showing the Webex experience in the new vehicle!
When is the full review dropping??

Did the embargo lift?
No, you’ll have to wait for driving impressions for another week.
Looks great
Wow! Amazing about being able to do a Webex call. If I could also do a TEAMS call while parked in my Explorer that would be awesome!!

Normally, with Android, there's always a way. Not sure about Android in cars tho
@@legrosroger I saw a video where someone tried to turn on and off certain settings and they couldn’t.

It’s basically the same as any android tablet or phone.
Provides 2 engines that will not last and will likely blow up.
compared to?
Awesome
the explorer and Forester are just trying to be confused with each other at this point.
Finally sitting up and paying attention to Kia/Hyundai … but is it too late?🤔
What's with the flashing lights
Cameras have troubles with LED lights because if the shutter speed doesn’t match the frequency of the LED drivers, the camera sees it as flickering.
Seems promising but the icons are tiny
More and easier “content” to watch and interact with while eating your whopper and merging onto the freeway.
Only plays in park. Duh.
