New 2026 Cadillac Escalade in Thornhill, ON
Trim levels
The 2026 Cadillac Escalade lineup includes Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport, Premium Luxury Platinum, Sport Platinum, and V-Series trims. Luxury models feature 22-inch 14-spoke alloy wheels, Galvano Chrome exterior trim, and an AutoSense power liftgate. Premium Luxury trims add brighter exterior detailing and more upscale finishes throughout the bodywork. Sport trims replace much of the chrome with darker exterior accents and darker wheel treatments, giving the Cadillac Escalade a noticeably different personality. Premium Luxury Platinum and Sport Platinum models add semi-aniline leather interiors, upgraded exterior finishes, and additional premium detailing. V-Series trims push the Cadillac Escalade in a far more aggressive direction with unique exterior styling details and performance-focused design cues. Standard Cadillac Escalade models measure 5,382 mm long, while the Cadillac Escalade ESV extends to 5,766 mm and delivers substantially greater cargo capacity.
Performance
Most Cadillac Escalade trims feature a naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V-8 producing 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Power goes through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations are available depending on the trim selected. Fuel consumption starts from 9.6 L/100 km on the highway with rear-wheel-drive models. Four-wheel-drive versions return slightly higher consumption figures. Properly equipped Cadillac Escalade models can tow up to 3,674 kilograms, while Cadillac Escalade ESV models can tow up to 3,629 kilograms. The V-Series transforms the Cadillac Escalade into something entirely different with a supercharged 6.2-litre V-8 engine producing 682 horsepower and 653 lb.-ft. of torque. Performance-focused all-wheel drive comes standard with the V-Series. Magnetic Ride Control and available Air Ride Adaptive Suspension help the Cadillac Escalade maintain impressive composure despite its considerable size. The V-Series also delivers a soundtrack and acceleration level that would once have seemed impossible in a full-size luxury SUV.
Features & Technology
The Cadillac Escalade interior leaves very little doubt about its flagship status. Luxury trims already feature Inteluxe premium synthetic leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, wireless phone charging, and tri-zone climate control. Platinum models add semi-aniline leather that extends across the seats, dashboard, and door panels. A curved 140 cm OLED display stretches across the dashboard, combining driver instrumentation, infotainment functions, and front passenger display capabilities into a single continuous layout. Wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, navigation, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and multiple USB connections come standard. Super Cruise hands-free driving technology operates on compatible highways while continuously monitoring driver attention. Premium trims feature a 38-speaker AKG audio system that delivers astonishing sound quality throughout the cabin. Available Night Vision technology can identify pedestrians and larger animals beyond the range of headlights. The Cadillac Escalade also offers available power-opening and closing doors, while V-Series trims add a front console refrigerator-freezer.
