The 2021 Cadillac Escalade received a sleek redesign, and as expected, an armored version has arrived. Canadian security firm Inkas has introduced a fortified version of this next-generation SUV. While appearing nearly identical to the standard Escalade, this Modified Escalade offers comprehensive ballistic protection for unparalleled peace of mind.
Inkas’s Enhanced Protection for the Modified Escalade
Inkas’s modified Escalade boasts precision-engineered, lightweight armor providing bulletproof protection without compromising the vehicle’s aesthetics or features. The armor meets CEN 1063 BR6 ballistic protection standards, the second highest level offered by Inkas, capable of withstanding high-powered rifle fire. Inkas’s proprietary armor overlap system ensures impenetrable door seals. Additional security features include sirens, a PA system, LED strobe lights, a blackout package, and a fire suppression system for the engine bay.
Luxurious Interior of the Modified Escalade
The modified Escalade retains the stylish design of the latest Escalade. The iconic Cadillac grille, flanked by horizontal LED headlights, and the distinctive vertical taillights remain. Inkas’s version features an extended wheelbase, creating a more spacious interior. The luxurious cabin includes premium leather seats, a 36-speaker sound system, and a dominant 38-inch infotainment screen equipped with Cadillac’s advanced driver-assistance suite, including Super Cruise hands-free driving mode, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
Performance Capabilities of the Modified Escalade
The modified Escalade, available in rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, is powered by a robust 6.2-liter V-8 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, generating 420 hp. A 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine is available as an option. The vehicle also features an independent rear suspension for an exceptionally smooth ride.
Availability and Pricing of the Modified Escalade
Inkas’s 2021 modified Escalade is available globally, with pricing provided upon request. While the cost will likely surpass the standard Escalade’s starting price of $77,000, the unparalleled level of security offered justifies the investment for those seeking the safest Escalade available. This modified Escalade represents the pinnacle of armored SUVs, seamlessly blending luxury and advanced protection.
