The heart of the new 2005 Escalade is a 345-horsepower V8 engine engineered exclusively for Cadillac. So whether it's hauling a heavy load or effortlessly reaching 60 mph in under nine seconds, there's little question that Escalade is the most powerful SUV in the world.
StabiliTrak, which is standard on the 2005 Escalade, monitors wheel traction, speed, steering wheel, and throttle positions. If StabiliTrak's computer senses an impending loss of control, StabilTrak discreetly applies the correct amount of braking force to the appropriate wheel or wheels, while reducing engine power if necessary.
Escalade's 2005 full-time all-wheel drive is like four-wheel drive, only it's working all the time - which is good, because when you need traction at all four corners, you don't always have time to pull a lever or press a button. And in Escalade, the driving forces are smartly tailored to the traction that is available for each wheel. If Escalade senses that one or more wheels have less traction, then the all-wheel-drive system feeds power to the wheels with the most traction. That gives you confidence in less than ideal conditions.
The 2005 Escalade represents a new generation of sport utility vehicles. With a 345-hp V8 engines, it's the most powerful SUV in the world, and undoubtedly the most stylish.
