view of the Cadillac Logo on the 2022 Cadillac Escalade

For Quebecers, and for as long as we can remember, “Cadillac” has been a synonym of expressions such as “cream of the crop” or “best of the best”.

There is a reason for that: Cadillac cars are directly tied to quality, excellence and reliability.

So, if we ask the question: why a Cadillac? The quick answer would be: simply because the brand never ceases to deliver reliability and perfection.

What does Cadillac mean?

Founded in 1902 in Detroit by Henry M. Leland and Henry Ford, the name Cadillac pays tribute to the Frenchman Antoine Laumet, who became Sieur Antoine de Lamothe-Cadillac and founded the city of Detroit in 1701.

The American manufacturer quickly became a reference in the automobile industry, which led to its acquisition in 1909 by William Crapo Durant, the founder of General Motors.

Cadillac became an integral part of General Motors, as the luxury vehicle division.

Where to find the Cadillac Escalade?

You can purchase a Cadillac Escalade at your local Brossard Cadillac dealership near Candiac, if you live in Montreal or on the South Shore. However, Cadillac dealers across Canada also offer this exquisite luxury SUV.

Are Cadillac parts expensive?

Given Cadillac vehicle parts are generally made on our continent, transport costs are reduced. Consequently this directly affects the prices for parts, which would be higher if they were made across the ocean.

Is maintenance on a Cadillac expensive?

It is no surprise that maintenance on a Cadillac will be less expensive than on a German or English vehicle for example, since parts and accessories come from North-America.

Are Cadillacs expensive to own?

Since we are talking here of a luxury vehicle, it is obvious that it is more expensive than a lower-end car; however, value for money is excellent.

Are Cadillacs expensive to insure?

Answering that question is not easy, since insurance costs do not only depend on vehicle type, price and size. Insurance premiums will depend on several factors such as:

  • How and at what frequency the vehicle is used;
  • The estimated yearly mileage;
  • Where we live.

Is a Cadillac fuel efficient?

That depends mainly on the model. For example, with the small XT4 SUV, average consumption is 7.8 L/100 km, while with the full size Escalade SUV, that average reaches 14.8 L/100 km.

Conclusion

If you are looking for the cream of the crop in terms of a luxury vehicle, you should definitely consider a Cadillac, not only for style and comfort, but also –and mostly- for reliability and reputation.
