General Motors is one of the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers, with some of the most famous brand names that will pop up when you are searching for a car dealership near you. These brand names are Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac. All four offer something special to drivers and have extensive lineups. So for fun, we have put together a list of our ten favorite luxury General Motors vehicles. Without further ado, let’s get into it.
1. Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum
Many A-list Hollywood celebrities and top athletes choose to drive a Cadillac Escalade, for a good reason: This SUV truly has all the luxury features anyone could hope for in a large vehicle. The Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum has more space than a standard Escalade, with plenty of room for you and up to 7 passengers in gorgeous premium semi-aniline leather seats. The Escalade ESV Platinum carries this throughout the passenger compartment with a leather-wrapped instrument panel, console, and upper door trim.

This will give you the power and control you crave when driving your Escalade ESV Platinum, with up to 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. This is both a luxurious and powerful vehicle.
2. Chevrolet Corvette 3LT
Chevy turned a lot of heads this year when it premiered its first mid-engine Corvette after over fifty years of producing General Motors’ biggest sports car with a front-engine.

You’ll have fun pushing the envelope with the Corvette’s 6.2-liter V8 direct-injection gas engine. This is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch to produce a speedy 490 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, giving the Corvette a top speed of 194 miles per hour. This might be the fastest Corvette ever made, able to go 0-60 miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds. If you really want to push the envelope, get your Corvette 3LT with the optional Z51 performance package that equips your car with Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 for the smoothest ride you’ve ever felt in a performance sports car.
