New 2026 Cadillac Escalade in Toronto, ON

Trim Levels

The 2026 Cadillac Escalade lineup includes Luxury, Platinum Luxury, Sport, Premium Luxury Platinum, Sport Platinum, and V Series trims. The entry-level Cadillac Luxury model features 22-inch 14-spoke alloy wheels, an AutoSense power liftgate, and Galvano Chrome bodyside mouldings. Beyond that, the standard features and equipment lists are almost comically generous. Sport trims showcase gloss black exterior accents and darker wheels. Platinum models receive semi-aniline leather, 24-inch wheels, and the premium 38-speaker AKG audio system. The standard Cadillac Escalade measures 5,383 mm long with a 3,073 mm wheelbase, while the ESV extends to 5,764 mm with a 3,404 mm wheelbase. Both share a 2,059 mm width and commanding road presence.

Performance

Most Cadillac Escalade trims feature a naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V-8 producing 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Power flows through a 10-speed automatic transmission to the rear or all four wheels. Fuel consumption for naturally aspirated rear-wheel drive models sits at approximately 9.6 L/100km on the highway and 15.7 L/100km in city driving. Four-wheel drive variants see slightly higher consumption figures. The maximum towing capacity for the Cadillac Escalade is 3,674 kg for the standard Cadillac Escalade when equipped with rear-wheel drive, and 3,629 kg for the ESV. The V-Series trim transforms the Cadillac Escalade into a performance machine with its supercharged 6.2-litre V-8 producing 682 horsepower and 653 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine delivers dramatic acceleration accompanied by a distinctive supercharger whine. Performance-tuned all-wheel drive comes standard on V-Series models. V-Series towing capacity is reduced a little to 3,266 kg due to the performance-oriented suspension and brake setup.

Features and Technology
