The ESV shares its platform with GM’s other full-size SUVs from Chevrolet and GMC, and differentiates itself from its lesser siblings with unique exterior styling, a more sumptuous interior, and a more potent engine. The ESV is an extended wheelbase version of the popular Escalade full size luxury SUV for those hip-hop moguls who simply need more space.
An Ultra Luxury package can be ordered and includes extras such as a DVD touch screen navigation system, a rearview camera, heated and cooled seats, power folding second row seats, and gargantuan 22” seven spoke aluminum wheels. A rear seat entertainment package is also available, featuring two eight inch fold down screens, headless headsets and the requisite auxiliary jacks.
The ESV is motivated by a 6.2 Liter Vortec V8 that has the distinction of being the first mass produced non-overhead valve engine to feature variable valve timing, a feature which contributes to the engine’s substantial power output of 403 horsepower and 417 lb.-feet of torque.
