Used 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V for Sale nearCleveland, OH

How much does the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V cost?

Prices have softened 11.01% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 289 listings available, which gives you a meaningful pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8.2/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 10/10.

It stands out because it brings V-Series performance to one of the largest luxury SUVs on the market, while still giving you big power, plenty of space, and a comfortable seating position. The test-drive notes also emphasize brisk acceleration and handling that you would not expect from a full-size luxury SUV.

The trade-offs are a high starting price and poor fuel economy, so it makes the most sense if you want a high-end family hauler that also feels genuinely quick and engaging. Good and great deals account for 32.2% of listings, which suggests there is some room to shop carefully.

Is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Escalade-V is built around a supercharged V8 and a 10-speed automatic, and the test-drive notes describe the setup as impressive in acceleration and especially strong in the 20 mph to 80 mph range. It also has a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty, which adds some reassurance for long-term ownership.

The performance notes also point to a vehicle that is engineered for serious use, with towing capability and a chassis tuned to stay composed despite its size. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a high-performance luxury SUV with premium-fuel requirements and complex hardware can be expensive to run if maintenance is neglected.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the powertrain, brakes, suspension, and electronics, since this model combines high output with a lot of advanced equipment. Pay close attention to overall condition, especially if the SUV has been used for towing or frequent long-distance driving.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Escalade-V visually differentiates itself with revised lower front and rear fascias, dark 22-inch wheels, dark mesh grille, dark headlight bezels, and dark window trim. Inside, it adds the 38-inch curved OLED display, semi-Aniline premium leather upholstery, Zebra-wood inlays, heated and ventilated 16-way power-adjustable front seats, massage front seats, a 36-speaker stereo, rear-seat entertainment, and a panoramic sunroof.
• Powertrain: It uses an intercooled and supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 682 horsepower and 653 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic and standard AWD. The setup is tuned for strong acceleration, minimal body roll, and responsive handling, and it can tow up to 7,000 pounds when properly equipped.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes forward-collision avoidance, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, HD surround-view parking monitor, adaptive cruise control, reverse automatic braking, rear cross-traffic alert, GM’s safety alert seat, and Super Cruise hands-free driving technology with automatic lane change. The system also includes a vivid head-up display, night vision, and an augmented reality display.
• Infotainment: The cabin centers on a 38-inch curved OLED display with a 16.9-inch touchscreen area, a smaller left-side touchscreen, standard navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto. It also includes a 36-speaker AKG premium stereo system.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA has not yet released fuel economy estimates for the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V, but in testing the ESV averaged 15.5 mpg.

Which 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V trim should I buy?

The 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V is offered in 1 trim level: Escalade-V.

Here's the short version:

The Escalade-V is the trim to buy if you want the full performance-and-luxury package in one SUV. It brings the supercharged V8, standard AWD, Magnetic Ride Control, Air Ride Adaptive suspension, Brembo performance front brakes, the curved OLED display, the 36-speaker audio system, rear-seat entertainment, and the full suite of standard driver-assistance features.

Because there is only one trim, your decision is less about choosing between versions and more about deciding whether the Escalade-V’s performance, technology, and luxury equipment justify its price and fuel costs for your needs.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V?

This looks like a moderate market for selective buyers, so it pays to compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 289 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.01% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $104,342, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V's resale value?

The current average of $104,346 sits slightly below last year's $117,261.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may pressure resale returns if you plan to sell soon. If you buy at the right price, you may have less depreciation risk than someone who paid closer to the original average. The year-round low of $104,342 also shows that the market has already tested a lower price band.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V safe?

The 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

It comes standard with forward-collision avoidance, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, HD surround-view parking monitor, adaptive cruise control, reverse automatic braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and GM’s safety alert seat. It also includes Super Cruise hands-free driving technology, which adds automatic lane change for 2023 and can even work while towing a trailer.

The system still requires you to stay attentive, since it monitors the driver’s face and will disengage if it senses distraction. The Escalade-V also adds a vivid head-up display, night vision, and an augmented reality display, which further support driver awareness.

Should I buy a 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.01% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 stands out for combining V-Series performance with family-hauling and towing duties, plus Super Cruise automatic lane change and the curved OLED dash.

The bottom line: If you want the most distinctive version of the Escalade-V formula, the 2023 is the one to target because it pairs huge power, advanced tech, and strong safety equipment with a market that has softened from last year. If you are more price-sensitive, keep shopping the broader used market and focus on listings near the low end of the range, where the value proposition improves the most.
