The 1999 Cadillac Escalade, a groundbreaking SUV that cemented Cadillac's position as a luxury brand in the emerging sport utility vehicle market, represented a departure from the traditional luxury car image. It was the first time Cadillac had produced a full-size SUV, and it quickly became a popular choice for those who wanted the comfort and features of a luxury car with the practicality and off-road capability of an SUV. The Escalade was based on the GMT800 platform, which it shared with the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon, but it was distinguished by its luxurious interior and exterior styling. The Escalade's distinctive design included a chrome grille, body-colored bumpers, and 16-inch wheels. Its interior was similarly opulent, featuring leather seats, wood trim, and a premium sound system.

Under the hood, the 1999 Escalade was powered by a 5.7-liter V8 engine that produced 255 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. This engine was paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a full-time four-wheel drive system. Despite its size and weight, the Escalade offered a surprisingly comfortable ride, thanks to its independent front suspension and rear coil spring suspension. While it wasn't as agile as some other SUVs on the market, the Escalade provided a smooth and luxurious driving experience that appealed to many buyers. In addition to its luxurious amenities, the Escalade also offered a wide range of safety features, including standard anti-lock brakes, dual front airbags, and side impact airbags. Despite its size, the Escalade was remarkably versatile, with a spacious interior that could comfortably seat eight passengers and a large cargo area. The Escalade's combination of luxury, performance, and practicality made it a popular choice for families, executives, and anyone who wanted a premium SUV.
