Mercedes-Benz models own 44.4% of luxury SUV sales this year, Autodata says. The two version of Escalade, standard size and long-wheelbase version called ESV, account for 12.3% of luxury SUV sales.
Цитата:
In the 1990s, as the SUV craze was accelerating, the man then running GM's North American operations, dismissed the idea of a big Caddy SUV as out of character for the brand's refined image. "There'll never be" such a machine, Ron Zarella said then.
Asked later, after the first, 1999 Escalade was a reality, why the about-face, he was candid: "Frankly, there was just too much money on the table" that GM was missing by not having a big luxury SUV.
Now, Cadillac says, Escalade is "the brand's signature SUV."
And Zarella became another example of why, as the admonition goes, one should "never say never."
•The segment's only front-center side airbag. It's meant to protect the driver and front passenger from slamming into one another in a side crash. It's a way to provide more protection to the person furthest from the crash impact.как я понимаю, впервые в мире в истории автопрома.
•Newly standard heated and cooled front seats and heating becoming standard on second-row bucket seats.
•Newly standard Magnetic Ride Control, a fast-reacting suspension system that helps tailor the chassis response to the road conditions and driving demands.
•Cut-and-sewn and wrapped interior trim, something that's all the rage among uplevel brands. The dashboard is covered with leather or fabric, instead of presenting a plastic finish made to look classy. The cut-sewn method has visible stitching where pieces join at edges. That's supposed to be a mark of authentic luxury. Replica, faux stitched panels already are springing up in economy cars, though, so the feature's bona fides might not last long.
•CUE becomes standard. It's the electronic command center, using an 8-inch center screen. The screen features "capacitive touch technology" and recognizes gestures. That means you can tap and swipe across it as you would a smartphone, Kindle or iPad.
It can respond even before you touch the screen, using proximity sensors to "activate common options and controls as the user's hand approaches," Cadillac says.
Part of the setup that's handy but sometimes overlooked: All types of favorites can be stored on the same pushbuttons used for radio station presets. There are dozens of buttons, displayed a few at a time. Button 1 might be XM Satellite Radio's Deep Tracks channel, while button 2 might be the navigation route to an important but infrequent destination, button 3, your boss' work phone, and so forth.
Production of the 2015 Escalade begins next spring at Arlington, Texas, in the same factory that builds Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Denali. It will be available with rear-wheel or four-wheel drive.
New GM pickups recalled for possible seat failureGeneral Motors' redesigned 2014 full-size pickups have been basking in huzzahs -- best you can buy, Consumer Reports says; top five-star federal crash rating; growing pile of thumbs-up reviews.
But now, their first safety recall.
GM says it is recalling 21,721 of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 models because the seat backs could fail if the trucks are hit from behind. Of the total, 18,972 of the pickups are in the U.S.. Canada has 2,572, Mexico has 103 and 71 are listed as "exports."
GM says it has no reports of crashes or injuries due to the fault.
The automaker says some of the seats passed federal standards and other didn't when GM tested after a report from the Fort Wayne factory that builds the trucks.
A quality inspector there "threw his weight against the front driver's seat" and the seat moved even though the manual recliner mechanism was locked in place and should have prevented movement, GM spokesman Alan Adler says.
Dealers will inspect and adjust the seat backs, if needed, under the new-vehicle warranty, GM says.
