About the Escalade 5.3 299

The 2000 Cadillac Escalade 5.3 299 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,422 kg with 295 bhp, which works out at 122 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 122 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.97 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,812th quickest to 60 mph, and the 59th quickest of the 65 Cadillacs here. Its 85.2 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Cadillac Escalade 5.3 299 0-60 time?

The Cadillac Escalade 5.3 299 reaches 60 mph in 8.66 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,812th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Cadillac Escalade 5.3 299 quarter mile time?

16.91 s at 85.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.11 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.97 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Cadillac Escalade 5.3 299 have?

295 bhp and 2,422 kg, which is 122 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 177 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Cadillac Escalade 5.3 299?

Closest here on pace: Chevrolet Express 6.0 V8 304 (8.68 s), Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ 5.2 V8 211 (8.67 s), Jeep Wrangler JK 3.8 V6 198 (8.76 s). Each one can be raced against the Cadillac Escalade 5.3 299 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Cadillac Escalade 5.3 299 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
