Sheikh Waleed Aljomaih, Chief Operation Officer of Aljomaih Automotive Company, said the Cadillac Escalade Platinum AWD comes with a five-star safety rating. Bold, potent, refined and ingenious, this is a crossover that steadfastly refuses to follow. 

It is also equipped with torque-vectoring Haldex All-Wheel Drive system that seamlessly masters changing road conditions, he added.

He underscored AAC’s commitment to provide high standards of service to its customers, saying: “we are fully committed toward our relationships with customers in providing the best of premium products and services as we continuously strive to make it better.”
