This armoured Cadillac Escalade is exactly what you need to drive with complete peace of mind

The Cadillac Escalade is an SUV that is not sold in Spain, but it is a very popular model in the United States. It is a premium model and has become even more striking, because they have worked on it and transformed it into a B6-grade armoured vehicle. This allows it to withstand considerable punishment without compromising comfort, refinement or driving quality at any time.

This package is called Full Protection Package and provides lightweight B6 AR 500 ballistic protection on each of the interior panels and B6-grade reinforced glass. The additional layers allow the Escalade to withstand considerable punishment, so its occupants can travel completely safely on board.

Efficient protection

From the outside, the Cadillac Escalade looks the same as any unmodified unit. It does, however, sit slightly lower to the ground. The windows are tinted to protect the privacy of the passengers, and emergency lights help the driver clear the way if necessary.

But the transformation goes beyond protection against bullets. The interior has also been modified, creating a very comfortable cabin with luxury features so that occupants travel not only safely but also in great comfort. In the rear, two captain’s chairs have been fitted, offering heating, cooling and massage systems.

There are also two folding seats facing each other that can be used by two more passengers, although they are not as comfortable as the other two. In addition, the passenger compartment is separated from the driver’s area by a safety glass partition.

The cabin is covered in high-quality leather and the roof is upholstered in Alcantara. The look is complemented by wood details, creating a very striking and elegant image. Occupants will enjoy a Samsung Smart TV screen, a high-quality Sony sound system and tablets for entertainment.

There are window blinds and a two-zone climate control system. The area most affected is the cargo space, since the armoured rear door leaves very little boot room. The B6 protection level for the Cadillac Escalade costs 75,000 dollars, although for other models, similar protection packages start at 35,000 dollars. These are offered by AddArmour, a company specialising in this type of conversion.
