2026 Cadillac Escalade ESV

The 2026 Escalade ESV comes in Premium Luxury, Sport, and V-Series trims. Each trim features Cadillac’s signature vertical LED lighting, bold grille design, and muscular body sculpting. Sport and V-Series trims include blacked-out accents, aerodynamic enhancements, and exclusive wheel designs, while the extended wheelbase adds a commanding presence on the road. Chrome detailing, functional roof rails, and refined side sculpting blend elegance with utility, creating a striking exterior that is both monumental and aerodynamic.

The Escalade ESV offers a 6.2-liter V8 engine generating 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth and responsive power delivery. For drivers seeking efficiency without sacrificing torque, the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-6 provides 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Both engines support towing capacities up to 8,300 pounds, ensuring the ESV can handle heavy loads while maintaining Cadillac’s signature refinement and effortless acceleration.

Rear-wheel drive is standard, with optional four-wheel drive for enhanced traction and stability in challenging conditions. Magnetic Ride Control continuously adjusts damping in milliseconds, optimizing comfort and handling across urban streets and highways alike. Air suspension offers adjustable ride height for load leveling and enhanced drivability, while active handling systems integrate traction control, electronic stability, and torque vectoring, maintaining composure despite the vehicle’s extended size.

The Escalade ESV interior emphasizes space, luxury, and technology. Premium leather seating, open-pore wood accents, and brushed aluminum details create a refined cabin. A 38-inch curved OLED display dominates the dashboard, integrating navigation, entertainment, and vehicle controls. Rear passengers benefit from optional entertainment screens, four-zone climate control, and massaging seats. Cargo space is vastly expanded compared to the standard Escalade, making it ideal for families, executive transport, or long-distance journeys. Every surface, interface, and control is designed to provide comfort, convenience, and technological sophistication.

Cadillac equips the Escalade ESV with a comprehensive suite of safety features, including Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Adaptive Cruise Control. Night Vision extends visibility at night, detecting pedestrians and animals beyond the headlamp range. Reinforced body structure, strategically placed airbags, and advanced electronic stability systems maximize occupant protection. Super Cruise™ enables hands-free driving on compatible highways while maintaining lane guidance and safety oversight.
