According to preliminary information, rear-wheel drive (RWD), but a version with all-wheel drive AWD.

Just do not confuse: Escalade literally means "assault on the fortress walls", and Escala in Spanish "scale". Some play on words: similarity with the name of the big SUV Cadillac hints at a place in model line, and "scaling" - to the recipe for the future flagship. After all, the CT6 sedan on the Omega rear-wheel drive platform was used as a donor for the Cadillac Escala concept, wheelbase which was stretched by 119 mm (up to 3228 mm), and the body extended by 163 mm (5347 mm) was turned into ... a hatchback!
True, the Cadillacians themselves call the concept car presented at Pebble Beach difficult: “a four-door sedan with a liftback body.” But it doesn't change the essence. However, the Americans are shy in vain: let us recall at least the premium hatchbacks warmly received by the market. Porsche Panamera or Tesla Model S. Why shouldn't Cadillac follow the same path?
And at the same time, check the vector of design development in public and hint at progress in technology. Former monumentality and chopped surfaces remained only in hints: the features of Cadillacs are becoming more and more thinner, and the sidewalls are becoming plastic. The use of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) made it possible to make the head lighting equipment very tiny and drown it more strongly in the body. The vertical taillights are now swooshed, and the grille pattern has been given a trendy three-dimensional look.
More more application organic light-emitting diodes found in the interior: three smoothly curved front panel displays are based on them. The prototype of the new Jim's multimedia system involves the control of a number of functions using voice and gestures, but the most important commands are still given manually: using a controller and touchscreens. Designed by interior designers high tech front of the cabin contrast with the pacification of the rear compartment: there are practically no buttons and remote controls, even monitors entertainment system when not needed, they hide in the backs of the front seats.
How close are these solutions to reality? Will the Escala hatchback suffer the fate of other Cadillac concepts - the Ciel convertible and the Elmiraj coupe, presented here in Pebble Beach in 2011 and 2013? The head of the Cadillac department, Johan de Neissen, assures that we will see many design solutions, a new “multimedia” and a V8 4.2 biturbo engine installed under the hood of Escala on the conveyor very soon.
Moreover, in addition to traditional European and Japanese competitors, Cadillac has a new irritant - the Lincoln Continental sedan, whose sales in China will start in early September, shortly before the model enters the American market.
