Although the recently arrived CT6 is currently the brand’s largest and most expensive sedan, there has always been the expectation that a larger, more expensive model would arrive above it to serve as the Caddy flagship. The Escala (the name means “scale” in Spanish) is based on the same Omega platform, but this car is larger in all key dimensions. Versus the CT6, the wheelbase has been stretched by 4.7 inches and the overall length by 6.5 inches. The front track is wider by 2.7 inches, the rear by 2.4 inches. Taki Karras, the Escala’s exterior design manager, also points out the longer dash-to-axle ratio—a key visual metric of luxury-car design.


The Escala also is more powerful. Whereas the CT6 tops out with a 404-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6, under the Escala’s extended hood beats a 4.2-liter twin-turbocharged V-8, an engine that is slated to debut in the CT6 and likely will power the production version of the Escala as well, bringing some 500 horsepower to the table in the latter application.

Compared with the radical Ciel and the dramatic Elmiraj, the Escala looks more conventional—although still handsome. One unconventional aspect, however, is that the big four-door is actually a hatchback rather than a notchback sedan. Perhaps the success of the Audi A7/S7 has emboldened Cadillac to brave the pejorative “hatchback” label—or perhaps a production version would revert to a conventional trunk, as the liftover height is uncomfortably high. In the show car, the liftgate opening does not extend down toward the bumper, so the cargo floor rises up to make the loading and unloading of luggage easier.
