CarGurus Analysis: 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV

Summary
With 145 currently listed for sale near Chicago, IL and an average price of $58,589, 24.1% of 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESVs for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV 5 / 5 stars.
75.2% of 2022 Escalade ESV models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV stands out as a full-size luxury SUV that leans hard into space, comfort, and technology. Its long-wheelbase body gives it more than a foot of extra length over the standard Escalade, with much of that added space going between the axles. That translates into a roomier cabin and 41.5 cubic feet of cargo space, while the move to independent rear suspension helps improve ride and handling and also increases cargo capacity. Cadillac also gave the ESV a wide range of trim levels and distinctive exterior treatments, including different 22-inch wheel designs and available appearance packages, so it still feels suitably dramatic for a vehicle of this size.
For 2022, the Escalade ESV came with lane departure warning and lane keep assist across all trim levels, while some more advanced driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, remained reserved for upper trims. The cabin was equally ambitious, with standard leatherette seats, available real semi-aniline leather, heated front and second-row seats, and optional ventilated massaging front seats plus a power third row. Its infotainment setup was especially notable, spreading Cadillac’s system across three OLED screens that formed a single 38-inch curved display, with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a standard 19-speaker AKG audio system.
The 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV also offered real performance breadth. Buyers could choose between a gas 6.2L V8 and a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel engine, both paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive were available. The turbo-diesel version was the efficiency standout at 21 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined, while the V8 returned 16 mpg combined. The tradeoff is that this kind of luxury and capability comes with a high price of entry and fuel economy that is not especially impressive, but for shoppers who want maximum space, strong power, and a richly equipped interior, the 2022 Escalade ESV makes a compelling case.

Is the 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV a good car?
Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. The 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV is built around space, comfort, and technology, with a three-row cabin, generous cargo room, and a long-wheelbase design that gives it a larger footprint than the standard Escalade. It also leans into premium touches like standard leatherette seats, available semi-aniline leather, heated front and second-row seats, and available massaging front seats.
For shoppers who want a large SUV that feels especially plush, its upscale materials and expansive cabin are the main draw. The technology package is another strength, with the three-screen OLED display setup, standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Wi-Fi hotspot helping it feel modern and well equipped.
32.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you a meaningful pool of value-oriented options.
Is the 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV’s hardware also supports confidence: it uses independent rear suspension, which helps ride quality and handling while improving cargo capacity. Standard driver-assistance features include automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist, and Super Cruise is available.
For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about basic capability and more about the usual complexity that comes with a large, highly equipped luxury SUV.
What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should prioritize a history report first, then focus your inspection on condition, maintenance consistency, and signs of heavy use in the cabin and cargo area. Because this is a large luxury SUV with advanced technology and premium features, it’s smart to check that every comfort and driver-assistance system works as expected.
Pay extra attention to wear on seats, screens, and interior trim, since those areas can reveal how the vehicle was treated. A careful pre-purchase inspection is especially important if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with optional equipment.

What is the 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV's resale value?
The current average of $59,745 sits slightly below last year's $65,768.
That decline suggests the market has become more favorable for buyers, but it also means a future seller may need to price carefully to stay competitive. The Escalade ESV’s appeal still comes from its space, comfort, and technology, which can help support demand among shoppers looking for a premium three-row SUV.
Because the model is positioned as a luxury family hauler with strong cabin appeal, well-kept examples should remain attractive to buyers who value size and features. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2022 if:
- 32.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.16% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $53,542, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $59,745 average.
- It emphasizes space and technology in a redesigned package.
The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market balance of inventory, pricing, and satisfaction, the 2022 is the better primary target. If your priority is spending less upfront, the 2021 is the more price-sensitive path and still gives you the Escalade ESV’s core strengths.
