Hardware facts only. No U.S. crash-test programme instruments third-row occupants, so this site publishes what the vehicle has rather than a rating. Confirm against the owner's manual and sit in the vehicle before buying. Compare third-row LATCH across every model → How we source safety data →

Best for

  • Front-row space — 45.2 inches of legroom is the largest front-row figure in this dataset.
  • EV households that tow: the 8,000 lb rating leads the electric models in this dataset.
  • All-rows-up luggage room — 23.6 cu ft behind the third row trails only the gas Escalade in this dataset.

Watch out for

  • The $127,405 starting MSRP is the highest starting figure in this dataset, with Premium Sport at $148,205 on the same basis.
  • Cadillac publishes only a mirrors-included width (94.1 in), so no body-only width appears here.
  • The second row is individual seats in every variant — there is no bench option, so seating caps at seven.
