CarGurus Analysis: 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV

Summary
With 593 currently listed for sale and an average price of $28,296, 34.2% of 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV 4.5 / 5 stars.
59.5% of 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV stands out as a full-size luxury SUV built around space, power, and a distinctly upscale presence. In this generation, it could seat eight passengers, and its three-row layout was paired with generous cargo room and a power-operated third row that made folding the seats easier. It also brought a 6.2L V8 engine with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, giving the Escalade ESV the strong performance expected of a vehicle this large.
It also offered a long list of comfort and convenience features that helped justify its premium positioning. Standard equipment included 20-inch chrome alloy wheels, magnetic ride control suspension, a rear camera mirror, automatic LED headlamps, a hands-free power liftgate, keyless ignition and entry, and a 10-speaker Bose audio system. Higher trims added features such as power-folding second-row seats, a head-up display, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a rear-seat entertainment system, and heated and ventilated front seats with massage functions. That said, the 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV was not especially efficient, with an EPA rating of 17 mpg combined, or 16 mpg combined with four-wheel drive, and its eight-speed automatic transmission had a troublesome reputation.
What makes the 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV especially appealing is the way it combines traditional American luxury cues with serious utility. It could tow up to 8,100 pounds, and its cabin was loaded with premium touches that made it feel more like a rolling lounge than a family hauler. For buyers who want maximum interior space, strong V8 power, and a lavish feature set, it remains a distinctive choice, even if fuel economy and transmission refinement are clear tradeoffs.

its a great car if youre looking for an expensive cowboy Cadillac and you can buy it at a reasonable price. You have to be looking for a huge vehicle, with lots of extras and live some where that the parking spaces are large or the parking lot isnt full.

How much does the 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $28,116 |
| Year-Round Low | $28,116 |
| Year-Round High | $30,829 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $30,651 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −8.27% |
Prices have softened 8.27% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 592 listings available, which suggests a meaningful amount of inventory to compare before you buy.
Is the 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV a good car?
Yes — the 4.5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction for this model year. The 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV is built around space, power, and a distinctly upscale presence, with seating for eight, generous cargo room, and a power-operated third row that makes folding seats easier. It also brings a 6.2L V8 with 420 horsepower, plus a long list of comfort and convenience features that fit its premium positioning. 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV reliable?
Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The overview also points to a vehicle that delivers the kind of robust V8 performance and premium equipment buyers expect from a large luxury SUV. At the same time, the eight-speed automatic transmission has a troublesome reputation, so used buyers should pay close attention to service history and how the drivetrain behaves on a test drive.
What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV?
At 60.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report and prioritize any signs of prior collision repair, especially on a large luxury SUV where bodywork and alignment issues can be costly. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on the transmission, suspension, electronics, and the operation of the power third row. You should also pay close attention to overall condition, since premium features can be expensive to restore if they are worn or malfunctioning.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV?
This is a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting deep bargain conditions across every listing.
- Deal availability: 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 592 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.27% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 60.5% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $28,116, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV's resale value?
The current average of $28,116 sits slightly below last year's $30,651.
That decline suggests the market has become a bit more favorable for buyers, but it also means future sellers may need to price carefully to stay competitive. The Escalade ESV’s strong space, power, and premium appeal should help it remain desirable, especially for shoppers who want a large luxury SUV with real utility. Condition and maintenance history will matter a lot if you want to protect value when it is time to sell.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2019 if:
- 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 60.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.27% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2019 if you want the strongest mix of current pricing, inventory choice, and owner satisfaction in this range. If you are especially price-sensitive, a nearby year may be worth comparing, but the 2019 remains a solid primary target when you want a large luxury SUV with strong V8 power and a premium feature set.
