The Platinum Escalade offers a ton of extras atop its standard counterpart. The interior boasts of high end Tehama aniline leather, entertainment system with DVD for rear-seat passengers, wood inlays, aluminium trimming for the instrument panel, and it rolls on 22 inch chrome rims. The spotlight is also on the cooled and heated cup holders for the Platinum version.

The Escalade also come standard with features like keyless entry, xenon headlamps with forward lighting technology, hard drive-base nav system, and leather seats that are electrically adjustable.
