About the Escalade 3.0 Duramax Diesel (277 Hp) RWD
The contrarian pick. 277 hp sounds modest next to the 6.2-liter V8, but the LM2 Duramax makes 623 Nm at just 1,500 rpm — nearly the same torque as the petrol engine, delivered before you've finished your morning coffee. The inline-six is smoother and quieter than any diesel has a right to be, and the fuel economy gap is substantial on highway runs. If you tow a boat or drive long distances, this is the rational choice. The Escalade rarely attracts rational buyers, which is why you don't see many of these.
