TCC’s Bottom Line
A pop culture icon in its own time, the Cadillac Escalade offers unmatched gravitas and presence—if that's your thing. The 2017 Lincoln Navigator has exceptional interior room, lots of bling, and unexpectedly good handling. The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS gets the first-class upgrade along with its name change—and a Maybach edition is waiting in the wings.
