- ( www.TFLcar.com ) This 2015 Cadillac Escalade and this Lexus LS460 don't compete except on one important level...they both cost about $90K. The question in this TFLcar review for Nathan and Roman is a simple one: if they had $90,000 USD burning a hole in their pocket which car would they buy? Watch the video to find out the answer.

Lexus any day. Why I even keep watching TFL is beyond me.
Calling the Escalade a Suburban with a better interior is the same as calling the Lexus a Toyota with a better interior. The Suburban and Escalade don't share suspension, motor, transmission, or interior. It is the same platform, but that's as close as they get.
Neither does the Lexus, they may share platforms but the suspension, engine and Interior are all upgraded
The lexus ls is completely different. The es is based on camry ,the lx based on land cruiser the gx based on prado the rx based on rav4 but the ls is diffrent
If I had 90K, I'd go for the LX 570.
this is a joke ! you can't compare a Lexus to GM junk!!
Escalade is the BIGGEST waste of money ever. It's an image buy, nothing more.
If you want reliability and legendary quality. LEXUS!!!!
if i had $100,000 to spend i would personally buy a Lexus es350 and a Mercedes ML350, because you get the luxury of the Lexus without feeling like your driving a limo, and you get the connivence of a SUV, without feeling like your driving a bus
The fact that somebody can seriously contemplate spending 90 000 $ on that Cadillac monstrosity is beyond me! The fact that a car like that sells well on the American market... My God! We don't live on different continents, more like different planets!
What do you do when you want to pull your boat, luggage, and family to your multi-million dollar cottage? That's actually a fairly common scenario here, lol.

The American dream... But why does it have to be so ugly and expensive?!
Land rover any day
*****
Because that car is an overpriced piece of crap inferior technically to about anything out there that looks like something to transport a coffin in. That tall and hansom person should be Lurch from the Addams family.
*****
No need... It is obvious for anybody with half a brain limp dick!
Why every time someone talks about Cadillac they have to use 80s black slang come on guys its a car leave out the stereotypes
Be floyd fr
U guys trust American quality over japanese , lexus all the way !!!!!, the japanese are more disciplined and pay better attention to details when making cars , after 5 ,10 , 15 yearsthe GM cars will have way more problems and lose so much of their value
Umm Cadillac sales were down 11% last quarter. Maybe they can’t keep it on the showroom floor is because there was a recall. And your opinion on who buys the Escalade is racist
Yeh stupid fucking rapers and drug dealers used to drive those but now its more like celebritys that people actualy like, im sure the queen of england would love the escalade
Shut up loser
TFL is one of my favorite channels, because its just everyday guys who love cars, talking about cars they love. Nice to see a review that is "regular" in a sense
I get what you guys are saying about more bang for your buck. But, everyone doesn't have a family or trailer to tow around. A single person or a couple doesn't necessarily want to drive a truck everywhere they go. I'd rather have the Lexus with all wheel drive.
TheLanard I have a family 2 kids and we love the ls460. You can take that car across the country and not feel tired
I wound up getting a Mercedes E350. It too is comfortable on long trips. But I do wish I got the LS460. I wanted a new car, and it was way out of my budget. Maybe next time. Enjoy your LS for me. :-)
They keep saying it's a suburban somewhere underneath. But that Lexus has a Toyota underneath it, so it's not a one up or on down for anyone in that case.
The Lexus ls chassis is built, and developed entirely in house by Lexus the Lexus' that have Toyota under would be the ES with the Avalon, LX with the land cruiser, and NX with the rav4
Demikhael I believe ES is on Camry platform and the GS is on Avalon?
Fluffy Hamster No. ES used to base on the Camry platform. Now it shares its platform with Avalon (Although both platforms are very similar). GS, is like the LS, a fresh Chassis build. The GS is a rear wheel drive car, whereas the Avalon is a front wheel drive vehicle.
Ah ok thanks
Lexus is obviously the better choice for 90k, Sport, more MPG, a true luxury car, not a shitty American car so it wont have many problems
+YaBoiScoots have you ever heard of an 80s toyota pickup? Those last longer
+YaBoiScoots why am I bringing up trucks???
"GM subs and TRUCKS"
You brought it up first bud.
And the modern Hilux is one of the longest lasting out there. The Hilux Surf is one of the longest lasting SUVs out there. They are basically "indestructible".
GM suvs*
Nothing compares to the quality, reliability and luxurious feel of a Lexus. Every other brand just copies Lexus and they all fail.
Mario Kapllani (AB) i used to work at a bmw dealership. You are so right ! Bmw is the best when it comes to cars and that bmw is 100 million times better than any other luxury car brand in the market . Bmw is the ultimate driving machine , bmw is joy , bmw makes you feel young!
Take the Cadillac Escalade off-road!
do escalade vs LX 570 !!
I'm not a fan of Escalades.
I'm a Chevy guy, but a 80K luxury suburban seems pointless.
I would however, like to salvage a 6.2L vortec and put it in a classic truck.
I would get the escalade 👍
LS ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! "We looked like US sanctions coming at RIGHT AT HIM!" Nathan is hilarious
LOL at all the poor people arguing..Don't loose sleep at night deciding which 100K vehicle to buy, you'll never be in a position to buy one anyway.
I can't understand why GM is still using column shifter, why not put it where it belongs!? center console!
I can't believe Nathan came around and like the Cadillac. Good choice.
I'd rather have the Escalade. It's more practical, although the Lexus is more reliable
I'm pretty sure the logo on the Lexus was actually bigger than the logo on the Escalade, lol
You could get a proper Range Rover for 90 grand! A car that looks much better than the escalade, drives better, can go off road MUCH better and interior quality beyond belief compared to the escalade. Who on earth would buy the Cadillac?
I would
To bad range rovers fall apart when you drive one in the rain, and remember range rovers lose value quickly, i once saw a 2010 range rover sell for 29k when its original price was 70k, in just four years it lost more than half its value
Daniel May You make a very good point.
LarryC213 Nope, i want something reliable, and something that can maintain its value, a Range Rover looses value quickly if a Range Rover sells for 70k Brand New in four or 5 years time it will only be worth 2ok or so
LarryC213 So Get a Cadilac is way more reliable
you guys are on point with the Cadillac in your face attitude.. both my 03 DTS and 2010 DTS platinum have stainless steel mesh grilles with that big in your face emblem.. lol I love Cadillac and my country America.... wouldn't ever catch me in a German machine
The escalade has always had loads of space and leather for the money. The big problem was always that they didn't like to keep working properly. I couldn't care less if they use new dials but I would like to know if the quality control is better.
Strange. G.M. has for the most part always built mechanically sound trucks, it's what they specialize in. I have a friend with 246k miles on his with basic maintenance. I've seen others in my area, bodies beaten to smithereens, but still running strong. I'll take a G.M. Truck long before any other brand if we're talking about reliability.
I am not paying $90K for a tarted up Suburban. I would buy a Jaguar XJ. I can buy a loaded up Infiniti QX for like $75K to $80K.
I think the Yukon/Yukon XL Denali can qualify as a tarted up Suburban. But these new Escalades are definitely more established Luxury SUVs than they used to be.. In my opinion.
It really a Yukon Denali than an expensive Suburban. The Denali and Escalade have the same based V-8, chrome and headlights.
The Lexus is a tarted up Toyota. So yeah.
Jordan Little not really
Should've put the lx 570 against the escalade
or toyota land cruiser
Another option to get around the social stigma of an Escalade is to buy a Suburban, fully loaded, with enough left over to get a light-armored conversion. That would be neat.
You could do that.. But I feel like the Suburban would lose a bit of power due to the armor's weight. The Escalade gets a decent engine upgrade from the Suburban, the 6.2L engine, same one in the Yukon Denali. And GM has done a great job in their effort to greatly differentiate the interiors of their SUV lineup. You can definitely tell the difference between the interiors of the 2015 Suburban/Yukon and 2015 Escalade.
I love how the Lexus at 6:01 goes lower as Nathan revs it. It looks like it's ready to POUNCE with that V8 it's got.
Great review guys! Well-done!
I thought I was the only one that said "pick em up truck" LOL
I'd wait 2 yrs and by the Cad used for 30k😂😂
The Lexus is neither elegant nor stylish. Reliable yes, but that is about it.
The fact that people pay over 91K for an Escalade actually blows my mind
Just wait to buy a used one. I saw a 2011 on craigslist that needed a $500 paint job from someone hitting the bumper, and they were asking $17,000 for it. It blew my mind.
Well actually guys it really depends on the buyer. Both cars are luxurious and crafted with fine materials and price the same, but if the buyer has big family and wants to seat all of them in comfort the escalade is the one but when you are a simple guy and just want plane luxury then the let us is the one for you. It really depends on the buyers taste and lifestyle. :)
The Escalade has the upper hand being a newer vehicle. More advanced engine, better styling etc. If the Lexus had a newer engine I'm sure it would beat the Escalade hands down.
The fact of the matter for everyone commenting on this car, there really is no competitors with this size in this segment. Most people in big cities will not think of buying such a vehicle, but nearly 3/4 quarters of america live in SUBURBS. The only real competitors are the Benz GL (a little feminine for some taste), Range Rover (Biggest competitor), Lexus LX, Infinite Q80, and possibly Audi Q7 (Im stretching with the audi but for euro sake). For those with the means who don't want a dodge caravan or bus this fits perfectly in. Some people have families and your delusional if your over a 4 person home to not think of purchasing this vehicle. The rear needs some work in my opinion, but overall it meets its purpose. Not to meant to drag, or turn meant to haul large numbers of people in comfort. I love a GTR but if I am headed on a long trip no doubt ESCALADE....that's what a american's do most often. This would sell in europe in short wheel base with a diesel or hybrid. Russians , Middle East, South America, and Africa love Escalade's if they could get there hands on it.
I don't see why everyone says Lexus models are conservative, when, Lexus attempts bold and out there, like the IS and the RC and LFA everyone goes back to saying why would they bother building this type of car and go on complaining it's crap.
Don't ask for a non-boring car to roll out from Lexus and then criticize it.
LOL at that Lexus engine bay. There's nothing there, just a piece of plastic!
Best luxurious sedan, Mercedes s class (or if you want German for less money) Audi A8. Best luxurious SUV, Mercedes GL or Range Rover.
And if you want a vehicle that will be worth 40% of what it cost new..... buy any of these.
I would choose Escalade , best all around vehicle . If i would have to choose a sedan comparable to this Lexus ,CT6 would be the winner!
While Cadillac Did A Great Job With The All New Escalade, Lexus Has Always Trumped In Reliability. Who Can Argue With That !!
The least reliable vehicle on the market compared to the most reliable. Seems like a fair comparison.
2015 Cadillac escalade VS 2015 Lincoln Navigator
It's funny how the Yukon Denali/Cadillac Escalade were made as a response to the Lincoln Navigator in the late 90's, and the GM SUVs have definitely established more presence, especially since they have been making more differences in the lineup of SUVs. Like in the early 2000's, if you've seen one GM interior, you've seen them all. But now you can clearly see differences in the interior of a mid range GM SUV (Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/XL) and of a base model Escalade. And from the looks the Navigator has always been an Expedition with Lincoln emblems.
lexus lx570 destroys the escalade any day
The fact that somebody can seriously contemplate spending 90 000 $ on that Toyota monstrosity is beyond me! The fact that a car like that sells well on the American market... My God! We don't live on different continents, more like different planets!
That Lexus looks pretty boring and plain to me. With regards to the CUE system, I drive a CTS vsport and I honestly don't find it difficult to use. I can understand why people would want some knobs or buttons for the radio or climate control though. It's a matter of getting used to it. The only complain I have is when I connect my iPod sometimes there's a lag while I'm changing the song.
The Escalade is in a class of its own. If you need to pull your $80k boat and seat 5+ people w/ luggage, then you don't have many choices.
Nice Mash up, put them to toe a small boat uphill.
But the Cadillac is a huge truck with a very evolve engine.
Its not a truck!!!!! It is a freaking SUV
Dan lee
but it's called suv
korintus nara
once your in it, its basically a truck
its a truck, learn your shit. it has a ladder-chassis which is what trucks use
Its a body on frame SUV... therefore its a TRUCK... if the escalade would be based on a unibody construction, then it would be purely an SUV
Stand in the middle of the road and let this Cadillac run you over and then you can tell us all about how it's not a truck.
i agree the interior in the escalade minus the column shifter is the best I've seen and no it's not worth 90.000 period more like 75.000 the mark up on this veh is almost criminal.
I have no idea of wich car i would buy , because both of them dont has in Brazil , and if it has here , they will cost absolutely something about 400k or more !
the caddy has potential......its the cube dashboard setup that is holding it back, imo
Caddy is kicking international asssssssss !
I 'd buy Merc Van Lux Coach for 92 thousand. You can travel within city and park, even thought you can't go inside parking which is fine for me. You travel and sleep inside for a short trip. Flexible device, and I will buy old beat up car for peace of mind.
At sea level, the Lexus AWD hits 0-60 in six seconds.
The Cadillac will be around 6.5 seconds.
The column-mounted shift stalk on the Caddy, and CUE, are major issues that reek of cost-cutting, or just poor execution in a luxury vehicle.
Why does everybody hate a column shifter? This is a luxury truck-inspired SUV. I think the day GM puts console/floor mounted shifters is the day these trucks become cars.
For that price, if you wanted a body on frame SUV, I would get a Lexus LX570. Better quality and reliability and proven off road capability.
Preformance vs luxury... Choose wisely
The Escalade in black looks bad enough, but combined with that brown interior it looks bloody awful. It's a lot nicer in that candy apple red.
Both emblems are the same size.
How was the Lexus old school luxury if you just had in the other video about the Kia K9 in it
Nobody buys escalades anymore.... Lmao except the government
Actually the government mostly uses Yukons and Suburbans.
2160p?!?!?!??! YES
Someone made money from GM
Did he really have to beat box? Not only beat box but beat box badly? I Like them both. If I cold they would both be in my drive way.
guys test GL or lexus 570, or make another mashup, what do you think, is GL better suv than escalade ?
Holy crap..... Is that the correct price for the Lexus 90k??????
isnt an ls an upgraded avalon
If you want to look like you spent 90k on a vehicle get the Escalade. The Lexus looks like it's MSRP would be 60k.
Comfort wise, the Escalade is 100 times more comfortable.
They need to redue this with 2017 Escalade with an 8 speed this 15 had 6 speed it would have done a lot better if it had the 8 speed
Escalade and Cadillacs in general got presence, Lexus got none
your 0-60 times are always so slow compared to other test drives...kinda bugs :/
Yes Navigator can't wait!
Navigator will never be on par with GM trucks, Ford builds the best pick-up and needs to leave the SUV market to the pro's .
I know gm has some better trucks I just want to know what they think of the new navigator.
Nice, the escalade gets 20 mpg? God Damnit, this is America! Haha
For 90 Gs I'll buy a Range Rover
Don't forget to set aside about $15k for repairs once the warranty is up. Unless things have changed recently they're highly unreliable.
Ranger over is over 100...
Oh my... What a mistake that will be! Unless you're a millionaire, i don't suggest you buy a Range Rover.
JOPBEAR Depends, that would be the Autobiography. The Sport is way cheaper.
Tom madison LR isnt Ford since 2008, and they go better in ANY terrain than an Escalade, and thats a fact, they are unreliable but i wouldnt buy one, just lease it
One is a toyota, one is a bailout queen. No thanks for either!
Neither. Range Rover 100%. I could care less about body on frame nonsense. Pure British prestige & luxury does it for me.
british car manufacturers have a reputation for having terrible reliability, although i will give it the great style and luxury.
I love the way they look.... I don't love the way how they massively break down after 50,000 miles.
Are you rich? Because if not i don't recommend you buy a Range Rover, for reasons that should be self explanatory. It's British... Lol
Pure unreliable too.
You forgot to count the transmission that plays a big big part in it.
When I compare the price for other US cars this one seems expensive. Body on frame should be much cheaper and considering how much cheaper the other trucks they mentioned that are built on the same frame, it feels like this truck is at least $30K over it's real value.
I had the money, but my loaded 2015 Escalade cost me only $83,000 out the door with every accessory and extra Cadillac could cram into the Escalade. I have no idea where they bought or got their Escalade from because they dun got robbed.....
You guys are awesome!
Am I the only one here, that actually prefers the old Escalade...?
Nope I prefer it to I just dislike the volvo like taillights.
Those tail lights are a tribute to the old escalade Tail lights
This video is so biased its not even funny
the real question is how many highest trim escalades do they sell
I think it's in the 30-40% range. I expect they will sell more high end (platinum) escalades because they were refreshed and will feature a new 8-speed transmission.
Optionally (if you don't have a family) Nissan offers the GTR for 96K
Good review overall. Regarding the beatbox and gangsta comment, edit it out next time. Why can't you just stick to car reviews and leave the comedy to someone else. It's not endearing or funny.
+Jered Croom
SHUT UP just SHUT UP
+Mugiwara No Salim nope. you can simply pass my comment by.
My father would buy the Escalade over the Lexus LS 460, sell it then buy a one ton Duramax pickup truck and maybe another.
Nice comparison video. Nevertheless should make another video with the 8 speed transmission smaller Escalade. That one is faster with the 8 speed.
I never thought the Escalade was that expensive
I would probably take the cadillac as well. More metal for your money! lol
A better comparison would have been the Lexus LS460 vs Cadillac CTS-V Sedan. You would have definitely gotten more for less...
2014 Lexus LX 570 vs 2015 Cadillac Escalade ESV
That would be a great match-up, My loyalty lies with Toyota !
Guys you should matchup with the Mercedes gl!! Please
