2024 Cadillac Escalade SUV Trims Comparison

All but the Escalade-V come with a 6.2-liter V8 (420 horsepower, 460 lb-ft) and rear-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is optional, as is a turbocharged six-cylinder diesel engine. The Escalade-V, meanwhile, gets a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 (682 hp, 653 lb-ft) that puts its power to the ground through a specialized all-wheel-drive system. Every Escalade has a 10-speed automatic transmission. Standard feature highlights for the Escalade include:
