2026 Cadillac Escalade

The 2026 Cadillac Escalade lineup offers 5 distinctive trims, each embodying a different expression of Cadillac’s modern design and craftsmanship: Escalade (Standard), Luxury, Platinum Luxury, Sport, and Sport Platinum.

The Escalade (Standard) trim introduces unmistakable Cadillac elegance with its bold proportions, signature vertical lighting, and polished chrome accents.

The Luxury trim adds even greater refinement, featuring detailed exterior finishes, exclusive grille design, and upgraded 22-inch alloy wheels that emphasize its commanding stance.

Moving up, the Platinum Luxury trim highlights Cadillac’s attention to detail with Galvano chrome accents, illuminated door handles, and refined LED lighting signatures that create a sophisticated, high-end look.

For those who prefer a more athletic aesthetic, the Sport trim contrasts bright finishes with gloss-black accents, a black mesh grille, and darkened trim elements for an aggressive, performance-inspired design.

At the top of the lineup, the Sport Platinum trim represents the pinnacle of luxury and craftsmanship. It combines the bold presence of the Sport with premium touches, including exclusive 22-inch polished wheels, a distinctive gloss-black grille surround, and finely detailed exterior enhancements that elevate the Escalade’s already legendary presence.

The 2026 Cadillac Escalade offers two powertrains that balance strength, refinement, and efficiency. The standard 6.2L V8 engine delivers 420 hp and 460 lbs.-ft. of torque, offering robust acceleration and effortless towing capability.

This engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, providing seamless gear transitions and optimal control.
