At least you get a five-link independent rear suspension with either engine, so it’s not all bad news. An AWD system can be had as an option, but we’d forgo that weight penalty for better fuel economy and performance.
This is a car designed to look good and feel good to the average young luxury shopper, so buyers can choose from five exterior colors and up to six dual-color combos for the cabin, while a multicolor ambient lighting system makes the cabin feel fresh throughout the ownership period.
Other features include a 15-speaker AKG sound system (only four speakers fewer than you get in a base Escalade), a full-color head-up display, a 360-degree camera system, and haptic vibration seats. Front-row seat heating and ventilation, wireless entry, a power tailgate, and Apple Wireless charging are also worth a mention, as are self-healing tires.
Pricing is from RMB 219,700 to RMB 309,700 ($31,060 to $43,785).
