Cadillac Escalade vs. Lexus LX 600 Specs: Power & Efficiency

The Cadillac Escalade specs are legendary. This beast has and still does come standard with a massive V-8 engine. The latest version gives you 420 horsepower as standard, which is 11 more than the 409 horsepower V-6 engine in the Lexus LX 600. The Lexus LX 600 specs do contain a bit more torque as standard, but the Cadillac Escalade offers more choice.

Cadillac Escalade vs. Lexus LX 600 engines involve an available turbo diesel and supercharged V-8 in the Escalade, but only that twin-turbo V-6 in the Lexus LX 600. The Escalade SUV’s diesel engine makes it much more efficient than the Lexus LX 600, and the supercharged Cadillac Escalade V Series dominates it for performance. You can find an EPA-estimated 23 MPG combined3 with a diesel-powered Escalade (compared to an EPA-estimated 19 MPG combined4 in the most-efficient Lexus LX600) and a 4.4-second 0-60 mph time with the 682-horsepower supercharged V-8 option.

Cadillac Escalade vs. Lexus LX 600 Dimensions: Size & Interior Room

From the Cadillac Escalade V Series to the stretched-wheelbase Escalade ESV, massive interior room defines the model. The Cadillac Escalade, even in its standard wheelbase configuration, is larger than the Lexus LX 600 by a wide margin, measuring 11.4 inches longer and 2.8 inches wider than the Lexus LX 600.
