The Different Versions of the Cadillac Escalade
Looking to improve your daily commute or road trip adventures? Look no further than the 2023 Cadillac Escalade. The Cadillac Escalade is well-known for being a large, powerful, luxury SUV—and this all remains true for 2023.
There are six trim levels available for the 2023 Cadillac Escalade: Escalade Luxury, Escalade Premium Luxury, Escalade Sport, Escalade Platinum, and Escalade V-Series. Each trim is equipped with unique features that make the Escalade distinctive.
The Escalade is powered by either a 277 hp 3.0L diesel or a 6.2L V8 gas engine. Two-wheel drive is available on all trims, as well as four-wheel drive. However, four-wheel drive is standard on the all-new V-Series Escalade.
Let’s take a closer look at what each trim level has to offer.
2023 Cadillac Escalade Luxury
This is the base trim of the Escalade. There are many premium features to enjoy on the Luxury trim, including driver assistance like automatic emergency braking and technology like a curved OLED display that offers a diagonal viewing space of 38 inches.
It comes equipped with acoustic laminated glass, heated power-folding side mirrors, and auto-leveling LED headlights. Automatic vehicle hold, hitch guidance, and hill start assist are standard features, along with navigation, smartphone connectivity, and an impressive 16.9-inch infotainment screen. A heated steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, multiple USB ports, a 110-volt outlet, and an overhead console are standard.
The Cadillac Smart System is standard, which features automatic emergency braking, rear park assist, front pedestrian parking, forward collision alert, vehicle diagnostics, safety alert seat, HD rear vision camera, and teen driver technology.
Some optional upgrades include 4WD, a second-row bench seat, Brembo brakes, cat-back exhaust, and more.
2023 Cadillac Escalade Premium Luxury
On top of everything that the Luxury trim has to offer, this trim has ventilated and heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control, leather upholstery, and a camera lens washer on the rear camera.
Some optional upgrades include an enhanced anti-theft alarm, 12-way power front seats, a 36-speaker premium audio system from AKG, and a rear entertainment system.
2023 Cadillac Escalade Sport
The sport trim is rugged and luxurious with an all-new exterior that is sporty and elegant at the same time. Building off the previous trim, the sport adds black accents—exterior trim, mesh grille, roof rails, and 22-inch wheels.
Electronic limited-slip differential, magnetic ride control, hitch guidance, and trailer side blind zone alert are available features.
Some optional upgrades include puddle lights, a black nameplate, 22-inch gloss wheels, and monochrome emblems. Magnetic Ride Control suspension is also available, improving the overall ride on various terrain.
2023 Cadillac Escalade Platinum
The Platinum trim gets the 26-speaker AKG audio system as standard, along with dual 12.6-inch entertainment displays in the rear. This trim also features a unique trim and grille, puddle lights, 16-way power seats with lumbar massage, leather-wrapped interior pieces, and soft-close doors.
This trim gets a unique available feature—a console refrigerator with covered storage and freezer mode—as well as full-leather upholstery in Dark Auburn or Jet Black.
Optional upgrades are the same as those available with the Premium Luxury trim, as well as Super Cruise.
2023 Cadillac Escalade V
The V-series is all new for 2023. It is powered by a hand-built supercharged V8 engine that offers impressive power and torque. It comes equipped with a full-time AWD system that ensures ideal traction in all weather conditions. Brembo brakes are standard as well, which improves stopping power, and launch control offers minimal slippage when going from 0 to 60.
The Escalade V has unique features like quad exhaust, Bembo brakes with Edge Red calipers, and elite front and rear fascias. It features active noise cancellation, night vision, and power-retractable assistance steps with LED lighting.
