ALLURE

Cadillac Escalade

From its striking exterior to its contemporary cabin, the Cadillac Escalade commands attention and reflects your success. Each of the Escalade’s five trims is big, bold, and worthy of the Cadillac brand—and a spot in your driveway.

Prepare for Double Takes

From every angle, the Cadillac Escalade is a visual feast. Attention-grabbing details, such as an illuminated crest and grille, and slimline vertical LED headlights with choreographed lighting sequences mark its commanding presence. Even the color palette is curated to capture attention:

  • Deep Sea: A rich blue with flecks of gold that shimmer with its metallic finish.
  • Aegean Stone: A deep gray-green that mirrors your unrelenting focus.
  • Black Raven: An imposing hue that’s always ready to make a grand entrance.

When optionally equipped, the power open/close doors add a VIP touch to every ride. With a simple button press, the Escalade's doors will open for you, allowing you to enter nearly hands-free. It's a small act with a significant impact on the tone of the ride.

Crafted to Precise Standards

Once inside the Cadillac Escalade, a world of premium craftsmanship and attention to detail greets you. Across all three rows, you’ll find a meticulously crafted space that proves the Escalade’s luxury status. Available leather, suede, and wood details make the cabin feel more like a high-end hotel rather than a simple on-road companion.

By day, the optional UltraView® Dual-Pane Sunroof bathes the cabin with warm, natural light, highlighting these upscale accents. At night, the ambient lighting system casts a soft glow throughout the cabin.

While some vehicles settle for a handful of ambient lighting options, the Escalade breaks free, offering 126 standard color options. The combination of color options and access to two individual lighting zones means you can modify the cabin to match your ever-changing mood.

EXPERIENCE

Cadillac Escalade

Driving a premium-styled SUV like the Cadillac Escalade ensures you’re always in the spotlight. Its passenger-focused amenities ensure that every commute feels like an opportunity to relax and refresh, all while delivering top-class thrills that you need to experience to believe.

Executive Status Ready

Whether traveling solo or with a group, the Cadillac Escalade offers executive-level amenities even the most discerning rider will appreciate. Every trim level includes standard heated front- and second-row seats, while some trim levels upgrade the experience with a cooling feature in the first two rows. On the days you need extra support, enable the optional massaging feature in the first row.

To truly elevate the driving experience for all passengers, consider the available Executive Second Row, which adds:

  • Dual wireless phone charging pads
  • Stowable trays
  • 14-way heated, ventilated, and massaging seats
  • Rear Command Center with dual seatback displays
  • Upgraded audio system

The Cadillac Escalade was designed to make every seat the best one in the cabin.

Pure Power, Precise Control

Equipped with a 6.2L V8 engine, the Cadillac Escalade delivers your daily dose of excitement. With the press of the accelerator, this SUV surges forward with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, you’ll experience seamless shifting and near-instant response time for an exceptional driving experience.

Enhancing this experience are the available Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control. Working in tandem, these systems scan the road 1,000 times per second to locate surface imperfections, such as potholes or speed bumps. When detected, the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension will automatically adjust the Escalade’s height to deliver the smoothest ride possible.

No matter where life may take you, whether that is a freshly paved highway or winding back roads, the Cadillac Escalade provides a ride that’s as powerful as it is comfortable.

INNOVATION

Cadillac Escalade

As the automotive industry evolves, the Cadillac Escalade remains at the forefront of innovation. A champion of cutting-edge technology and autonomous systems, this SUV is designed to work seamlessly with your routine to make every day feel effortless.

Revolutionize Your Commute

The Cadillac Escalade is no stranger to reinventing the mold. It stands in a class of its own with its pillar-to-pillar OLED display. This centerpiece provides 55 inches of digital real estate and wraps you in a crisp, colorful world. From essential driving data to entertainment, this continuous, curved display makes accessing your favorite digital features easy. One of the most noteworthy digital features is Google built-in, which can perform these functions:

  • Identify the fastest route to your destination.
  • Accept driving suggestions based on your synced calendar.
  • Manage compatible smart home devices.
  • Use Google Assistant to create grocery lists, reminders, and more.

Every commute is enhanced with audio. From news podcasts to curated playlists, the Escalade ensures every note is crisp and clear. Choose between two premium AKG® Studio Reference Audio Systems: 38 speakers or 42 speakers (exclusive with the Executive Second Row). Regardless of which you choose, you’ll enjoy feedback tailored to deliver an immersive listening experience.

The Future Is Autonomous

Your safety is of the utmost importance. That’s why the Cadillac Escalade comes standardly equipped with several driver-assist systems. Sophisticated technology monitors your surroundings and alerts you to hazards you may have missed. Other systems, such as Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, provide autonomous support to help prevent a collision.

Taking driver support to the next level, the Escalade comes standard with Super Cruise® Hands-Free Driving Technology. This system enables fully autonomous driving across 750,000 miles of North American roads.

Super Cruise® can help you avoid hazards by keeping the Escalade centered in its lane, adjusting speed to match the flow of traffic, and assisting with lane changes. This system can also help prevent drowsy driving, especially on long commutes.
