Making Headlines with the 2008 Cadillac Escalade

"YOUR SAFETY ISN’T OPTIONAL"

"In 1928, Cadillac became the first automaker to incorporate safety glass in all windows. Proud to carry on that legacy, Cadillac still keeps safety a primary concern. So when we had the chance to have the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration run the 2008 Escalade through an optional safety test, we gladly stepped up to the challenge.

As it turns out, when it comes to full size SUVs we were the only ones to go that extra mile.

The results? A five star frontal and side impact rating for the 2008 Escalade, including our EXT and ESV models. We received the highest score possible. But even more valuable to us is the peace of mind that comes with knowing Cadillac’s legacy for safety lives on.

‡ Five-star rating is for the driver and front passenger seating positions in the frontal crash test and for the front and rear seating positions in the side-impact crash test. Side-impact crash test rating is for a model tested with standard Head Curtain side-impact air bags (SABs). Government star ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) New Car Assessment Program (www.safercar.gov).
