Are you looking for a full-size SUV that can seat up to 8 in Myrtle Beach? Do you want to ride in luxury, but still have the capability to tow a significant amount of gear? The 2026 Cadillac Escalade is the answer you’ve been looking for. It brings a unique combination of luxury, performance, and capability that is unmatched by any other luxury SUV. With a number of trim levels to choose from, the Escalade lineup has a configuration that perfectly fits your life. What Sets the 2026 Escalade Apart The Escalade has long stood as a benchmark in the full-size luxury SUV segment, and the 2026 model continues that tradition. Cadillac offers both standard and long-wheelbase ESV body styles, giving you the flexibility to choose based on passenger space, cargo needs, or personal preference. The Escalade ESV adds rear passenger and cargo volume compared to the standard model, making it a natural fit for families or those who regularly travel with a group. Both body styles are built on a platform that supports Cadillac's signature attention to interior style, and both are available across multiple trim configurations that let you prioritize comfort, technology, or performance. The Standard and Premium Luxury Trims The entry point into the 2026 Escalade lineup delivers an exceptionally high standard of full-size luxury, anchored by a 6.2L V8 engine generating 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Inside, standard models showcase Cadillac’s breathtaking 55-in Horizon Display™, seamlessly integrating a 35-in driver screen with a 20-in front passenger infotainment display featuring Google Built-in technology. The cabin comes standard with a 21-speaker AKG® Studio audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, and tri-zone automatic climate control. Drivers also gain standard peace of mind with Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology, supported by up to three years of connected services on compatible highways. Moving up to the Luxury trim introduces quilted leather seating surfaces, 12-way power-adjustable front seats with heating, ventilation, and memory settings, a panoramic power sunroof, and an available 36-speaker AKG® Studio Reference audio system. Sport, Platinum Luxury, and Platinum Sport trims The Sport trim gives the Escalade a distinctly athletic presence on the road. Visually defined by a sport grille, exterior gloss black accents, and 22-in alloy wheels or available 24-in bright-finish alloy wheels. Inside, the Sport features perforated leather seating, unique contrast stitching, dark finish wood accents, and the available 38-speaker AKG® Studio Reference audio system paired with the standard 55-in Horizon Display™ and Super Cruise® hands-free driving technology. Sitting at the apex of the non-V-Series lineup are the twin flagships: the Platinum Luxury and Platinum Sport trims. The Platinum Luxury emphasizes classic, top-tier elegance with bright Galvano chrome exterior accents, while the Sport Platinum combines the aggressive dark exterior treatment of the Sport trim with full Platinum luxury inside. Both Platinum models come standard with Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, Magnetic Ride Control, soft-close doors, and illuminated sill plates. Inside the cabin, both Platinum trims deliver the absolute pinnacle of luxury content. Standard equipment includes full-grain Semi-Aniline leather seating across all three rows, leather-wrapped instrument panels and door trim, and 16-way power-adjustable front seats equipped with heating, ventilation, and multi-setting massage functions. Passengers benefit from tri-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic power sunroof, and an available Rear Seat Entertainment system featuring dual 12.6-in \ independent touchscreens. The Escalade-V: Performance at a New Level If you want the Escalade's presence with serious performance credentials, the Escalade-V delivers exactly that. Both the standard-wheelbase Escalade-V and the extended Escalade-V ESV are offered for 2026, with the ESV continuing to be available for buyers who need maximum interior space without giving up V-Series performance. The Escalade-V and Escalade-V ESV are positioned at the top of the lineup, reflecting the extensive engineering that goes into pairing supercharged power with the Escalade's full-size SUV platform. This is the trim for drivers who refuse to compromise on either capability or luxury.
