2026 Cadillac Escalade

The Escalade lineup is broad by design, allowing buyers to align luxury with personal style. Escalade and Luxury trims establish the foundation with Bright Galvano exterior accents, an illuminated Cadillac crest, and the dramatic 55-inch curved pillar-to-pillar display. Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance comes standard with a 3-year OnStar® One plan, paired with the proven 6.2L V8. Luxury builds on this formula with upgraded leather upholstery, ventilated seating, a panoramic roof, and power-deployable assist steps that make entry effortless. Sport and Sport Platinum shift the aesthetic toward darker, more assertive design. Gloss Black exterior detailing, exclusive grilles, and performance-inspired styling cues create a more athletic presence. Platinum Luxury and Platinum Sport elevate craftsmanship further with semi-aniline leather, massaging 16-way front seats, Night Vision, rear-seat entertainment, and an AKG® Studio Reference audio system with available Dolby Atmos®. These trims also add Air Ride Adaptive Suspension paired with Magnetic Ride Control for exceptional ride quality. At the top sits Escalade-V Series, the performance flagship. Unique fascias, 24-inch wheels, Brembo® brakes, a console-mounted refrigerator, and V-Mode performance controls distinguish it as the most powerful and exclusive Escalade ever produced.

Most Escalade trims are powered by a 6.2L V8 generating 420 hp and 460 lbs. ft. of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and available 4WD. Escalade-V Series raises the bar with a hand-built 6.2L Supercharged V8 delivering 682 hp and 653 lbs. ft. of torque, managed by an advanced AWD system engineered for confident control at all speeds.

Despite its size, Escalade delivers composed, controlled performance. Available Air Ride Adaptive Suspension automatically adjusts ride height, while Magnetic Ride Control monitors the road up to 1,000 times per second to maintain stability and comfort. Escalade-V accelerates from 0–60 mph in approximately 4.4 seconds, resetting expectations for a three-row luxury SUV. When properly equipped, Escalade offers towing capability up to 8,100 lbs., supported by advanced trailering technologies and an available electronic limited-slip differential.

Escalade’s interior defines modern three-row luxury with seating for up to 8. The sweeping 55-inch curved display spans the entire front row, creating a commanding digital focal point. Second-row passengers enjoy generous legroom across configurations, while the available Executive Second Row adds power-adjustable, heated, ventilated, and massaging seats with stowable tray tables and a rear command center. Authentic wood trim, layered materials, and ambient lighting reinforce the Escalade’s premium character, while substantial cargo space behind all rows accommodates luggage, beach gear, or golf bags with ease.

Technology remains a core Escalade advantage. Google built-in compatibility, 5G Wi-Fi® hotspot capability, wireless charging, and available rear-seat entertainment keep every occupant connected. Super Cruise® enables hands-free driving on hundreds of thousands of compatible highway miles, even while towing. Available AKG® audio systems, including a 42-speaker configuration with Dolby Atmos®, turn the cabin into a controlled, immersive listening environment.

Every Escalade includes a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance technologies. Features include Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Zone Steering Assist, HD Surround Vision, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist. These systems are designed to support driver awareness while preserving the Escalade’s calm, confident driving experience.
