Cadillac Escalade

The Cadillac Escalade reaches 60 mph in 6.50 s (100 km/h in 6.88 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.02 s, tripping the lights at 93.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.40 s and the eighth mile in 9.71 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Escalade

The 2009 Cadillac Escalade is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,722 kg with 404 bhp, which works out at 148 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.40 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,890th quickest to 60 mph, and the 28th quickest of the 65 Cadillacs here. Its 93.1 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 9 of 9 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 0-60 time?
The Cadillac Escalade reaches 60 mph in 6.50 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,890th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Cadillac Escalade quarter mile time?
15.02 s at 93.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.71 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.40 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Cadillac Escalade have?
404 bhp and 2,722 kg, which is 148 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 220 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Cadillac Escalade?
Closest here on pace: Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R (6.58 s), Acura ZDX (6.40 s), Acura MDX 3.7 V6 300 (2010) (6.58 s). Each one can be raced against the Cadillac Escalade 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 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
