How it scores for you10 scores
Three rows, 615 hp, and 305 miles of range make a persuasive electric flagship, though first-year recalls and steep EV depreciation cloud the ledger.
Recalled about 50% more often than cars of the same model years; 1 of its 4 recalls was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted -3 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $900 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 90% of cars we track.
15.2 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 9% of other SUVs we track.
Genuine three-row seating for seven with ~80 cu ft max cargo in a large 5.2-m body.
615 hp standard gives startling pace, but this is a heavy three-row family EV, not a handler.
Large curved display, Google built-in, and Super Cruise availability put it near the tech front.
Quiet Ultium refinement with available air suspension; a convincing junior Escalade IQ.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
Rated to tow 5,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
