2017 Ford Expedition vs 2017 Cadillac Escalade

If you need all the interior passenger and cargo space possible, you can’t go wrong with the 2017 Ford Expedition, which we have right here at Brandon Ford in Tampa, FL. In fact, the new Ford Expedition is one of the largest SUVs on the market today. But don’t let that size fool you. The 2017 Expedition is also impressively fuel efficient and surprisingly fun and easy to maneuver. Of course, it’s also incredibly powerful, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise.

But it’s the new Expedition’s interior passenger and cargo space that we want to focus on today as we compare the new Ford Expedition with one of its toughest competitors – the new Cadillac Escalade. Given its price tag and “luxurious” reputation, you would think nothing could touch the new Escalade, but as you’ll see in this 2017 Ford Expedition versus 2017 Cadillac Escalade model comparison, the 2017 Expedition leaves its “luxury” competition in the dust.

2017 Ford Expedition    VS    2017 Cadillac Escalade
$48,320    Starting Price    $74,590
178.9 ft.3    Interior Volume    120.8 ft.3
18.6 ft.3    Cargo Space (Seats in Place)    15.2 ft.3
108.3 ft.3    Max Cargo Capacity    94.2 ft.3

We’re going to start with what’s the most glaring difference between the 2017 Ford Expedition and the 2017 Cadillac Escalade – the starting price. The new Ford Expedition has a starting price over $26,000 less than the 2017 Cadillac Escalade’s starting price. In this case, you’re simply paying for the name Cadillac, as you’ll quickly see the new Ford Expedition is the better overall vehicle.

While power and fuel efficiency numbers are pretty similar for the two models, the 2017 Ford Expedition really pulls ahead of its competition in terms of interior passenger and cargo space. The new Ford Expedition does this by offering 178.9 cubic-feet of interior volume, 18.6 cubic-feet of cargo space with the seats in place and 108.3 cubic-feet of total cargo space, compared to only 120.8 cubic-feet of interior volume, 15.2 cubic-feet of cargo space when the seats are in place and 94.2 cubic-feet of total cargo space from the new Cadillac Escalade.
