Key things to evaluate:
- Safety package: Super Cruise, 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.
- Infotainment: a 55-inch curved display that spans the full width of the dashboard, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard across the lineup.
- Fuel efficiency: 16 mpg combined for the 4WD configuration, and our observed 16.4 mpg over 320 mostly highway miles.
Which Cadillac Escalade trim should I buy?
The 2026 Cadillac Escalade offers these trims:
- 1SA: The entry trim starts the lineup with rear-wheel drive and the Escalade’s core full-size luxury presence, making it the value-oriented starting point.
- Luxury: Adds the chrome-heavy look and upscale trim character for buyers who want a more traditional luxury appearance.
- Sport: Brings the blacked-out exterior treatment, including dark window surrounds, black roof rails, and a mesh grille.
- Platinum Luxury: Builds on the Luxury side of the lineup with a more premium, fully equipped feel.
- Platinum Sport: Adds the most dramatic styling and the richest cabin treatment, including semi-aniline leather with faceted quilting, leather door trim, a microsuede headliner, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

| 2014 | $15,808 | −6.13% |

The declines are especially pronounced on several newer and mid-cycle years, while a few older examples show smaller drops. Overall, the table points to broad price softening rather than stability.
The 2014, 2017, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Cadillac Escalade now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −12.26% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −10.2%.

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 2022 Cadillac Escalade
Summary
With 265 currently listed for sale and an average price of $44,977, 31.3% of 2022 Cadillac Escalade listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2022 Cadillac Escalade 5 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.33 / 10.
85.3% of 2022 Cadillac Escalade listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 Cadillac Escalade stands out as Cadillac’s de facto flagship, and it makes that role obvious with sheer scale and presence. From the grille to the dashboard screen, everything is bigger in the Escalade, and it sits at the top of the Cadillac hierarchy in price, size, and name recognition. It also benefits from being one of the freshest entries in the full-size luxury SUV segment, with a redesign for the 2021 model year that brought notable features such as a 38-inch OLED display screen and GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving system.
For 2022, the changes are modest, but they add a bit of everyday convenience. A Buckle to Drive feature is now standard, lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning are now standard on the base Escalade Luxury trim level, and Premium Luxury Platinum and Sport Platinum models get standard puddle lamps. Cadillac also added three extra-cost colors: Mahogany Metallic, Galactic Gray Metallic, and Wilder Metallic. Buyers can choose between standard-wheelbase and long-wheelbase body styles, along with gasoline or diesel engines and five trim levels, which helps the Escalade appeal to shoppers who want a large luxury SUV with a wide range of configurations.
Its strengths are clear: multiple powertrain options, impressive technology, and easy-to-use technology. The tradeoffs are just as straightforward, with poor ride quality, poor fuel economy, and interior materials that feel cheap. Even so, the 2022 Escalade remains appealing because it combines flagship-level size and tech with the flexibility of several body styles, engines, and trims.
