Cadillac Escala
Concept
“Escala builds Cadillac’s aspirational
character, signaling the brand’s return to
the pinnacle of premium.” said Johan de
Nysschen, president of Global Cadillac
“Escala is a concept car, but one based
upon the unrelenting rise of our product
substance. Depending on the development of market segment for large luxury sedans, Escala is a potential addition to
our existing product plan.”
Escala (Spanish for “scale”) is a concept for a larger, more elite and expressive companion to the recently launched
“http://www.cadillac.com/sedans/ct6-sedan.html” 2016 Cadillac CT6, the brand’s
remarkable new range-topping prestige
sedan.
Escala is designed to be both a driver’s
car and an indulgent flagship sedan. The
large 4-door sedan features an expansive
liftback design emphasizing the car’s considerable scale and versatility. At 210.5 inches (5347 mm) in overall length, Escala is
roughly 6 inches longer than today’s CT6.
This concept features a new and evolved
face of Cadillac design that will begin appearing on production models soon. This
includes a new expression of Cadillac’s
vertical lighting, a brand signature since
1948. Organic light emitting diode (OLED)
lighting elements are thinner and set deep
within the fascia, creating a sinister look,
day and night.
The concept’s details invite closer inspection, including a three-dimensional
precision pattern in the grille design and
22-inch wheels with two layers of spokes.
