Is the Cadillac Escalade a good car?
Yes — the Cadillac Escalade earns strong marks from owners across the lineup, and its appeal centers on luxury, powerful performance, and a spacious cabin. The all-generations owner rating is 4.5/5 across every model year in the data.

Should I buy a used Cadillac Escalade now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −12.72% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −9.92%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 32.6% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 32.8%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $77,577. The Cadillac Escalade offers a commanding presence, a spacious cabin, and a luxury-first character that make it feel special in daily use.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The 2026 Cadillac Escalade is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 producing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and our test vehicle was equipped with four-wheel drive (4WD).
- Tech: The interior’s centerpiece is a 55-inch curved display that spans the full width of the dashboard, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the lineup.
- Safety: Every model includes automatic emergency braking with front and rear pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitors with lane-change alert, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree surround-view camera system, and GM's Safety Alert Seat.
- Starting price: The 2026 Cadillac Escalade starts at $93,995 for what we’d describe as the “livery-spec” 1SA trim, equipped with RWD.
If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

Reviewed a 2016 Cadillac Escalade on Apr 27, 2025
Great car, however the visability when making left or right turns are very scary and cumbersome when trying to see pedestrians. GM should have redesigned the side mirrors before putting these out to market. My 2005 Escalade has a much better design.

CarGurus recommends the 2021 Cadillac Escalade
Summary
With 195 currently listed for sale and an average price of $57,022, 35.4% of 2021 Cadillac Escalade listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Cadillac Escalade 5 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it an 8.17 / 10.

Why it stands out
The 2021 Cadillac Escalade stands out as a redesigned full-size luxury SUV that was meant to answer criticism of the previous version while moving the model forward in design, quality, and technology. It also carries the cachet of being a fifth-generation Escalade, and the available test-drive impressions describe it as a technologically sophisticated SUV with a mighty impressive presence.
What makes it especially appealing is the combination of a great ride quality, a powerful engine, and impressive technology. That said, it is not without drawbacks: advanced safety features are not standard, and fuel economy is poor. Owner feedback echoes the strengths in technology, build quality, and styling, while also noting that the high price can be a downside and that some shoppers may feel it does not fully match the luxury of some rivals.
