Just like the updates that debuted with the US-spec 2015 ATS Coupe and Escalade, Cadillac will see that Europe receives the new models by the end of 2014. In addition to that, Caddy will introduce Powermat wireless charging on the ATS, CTS and Escalade.
The American luxury vehicle manufacturer informs that its Euro-spec lineup will adopt the wreathless Cadillac crest, but the big news here is that for the first time ever, Europeans will be able to buy the extended-length version (ESV) of the Escalade.
Priced between $71,695 and $92,840 in the U.S. of A., the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, even in entry-level specification, is a tour-de-force of American luxury, style and attention to detail. Unfortunately, shipping and other charges will hike the price of the fourth generation Escalade by the time it hits European dealerships, which is a bit of a bummer.
The 2015 Cadillac Escalade will be available only with all-wheel drive and the 6.2-liter V8 LT1 mill, that produces 420 horsepower and 623 Nm (460 lb-ft) of torque. CUE infotainment and Magnetic Ride Control suspension come as standard, by the way. As for the 2015 Cadillac ATS Sedan, its main rival comes in the form of the BMW 4 Series.
A 2-liter turbo'd four-pot gasoline-fed powerplant will be offered for the American coupe in this part of the world, producing 272 horsepower and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft). By comparison, the most powerful 2-liter BMW 4 Series is the 428i, which makes do with 245 ponies. In terms of grunt, the ATS Coupe slots between the 428i and the six-cylinder 435i (306 ponies and 400 Nm).
However, there's no competition in terms of appeal here: Europeans are mad about Bimmers, much like the entire world, whereas Caddys are still a bit of an automotive taboo in this part of the globe.
