Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Cadillac Escalade than in the Toyota Land Cruiser. The Cadillac Escalade will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota Land Cruiser.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac Escalade as you will with the Toyota Land Cruiser, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Cadillac Escalade will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota Land Cruiser, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac Escalade is much wider than the Toyota Land Cruiser, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Cadillac Escalade, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Toyota Land Cruiser.

Handling
The Cadillac Escalade has the same turning radius as the Toyota Land Cruiser, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Cadillac Escalade is clearly the choice over the Toyota Land Cruiser for pulling heavy loads. The Cadillac Escalade has a little more horsepower than the Toyota Land Cruiser.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the Cadillac Escalade and the Toyota Land Cruiser are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

Utility
Soccer Moms and those who need to chauffeur around a lot of people will appreciate the Cadillac Escalade more than the Toyota Land Cruiser, due to its significantly greater seating capacity.
