Like all Cadillac models today, the
interior is assembled using hand cutand-sewn techniques. However, Escala
presents several new and unique touches, blending overt luxury with covert
technology. Escala makes broad use of
hand-tailored fabric on the door trim and
seating areas. Inspired by suiting material used by Cadillac’s partners in the
fashion industry, the fabric provides a
new level of hand-applied craftsmanship
and color, unique in today’s auto interior
landscape.
