Cadillac’s, and subsequently General Motors’, cash cow soldiers on into the 2016 model year with no price increase, which is good news for prospective buyers. The 2016 Cadillac Escalade sticks with its $73,695 starting price, according to the 2016 Escalade configurator.
The base wheelbase Escalade and ESV, the extended wheelbase variant, both see no increase, with the 2016 Escalade ESV sticking to its $76,965 asking price. The price strategy reflects minimal changes to the 2016 model year Escalade.
New for 2016 are a handful of new exterior color options, lane-keep assist and new CUE features, including the addition of Apple CarPlay functionality.
The 2016 Cadillac Escalade Platinum just barely holds steady, posting a $75 price increase over the outgoing model year.
Don’t expect pricing to stay the same for the long run, though. Cadillac is rumored to be mulling an Escalade-V high-performance SUV and also plans to push the Escalade nameplate higher into the luxury-SUV stratosphere with a six-figure price tag and more luxurious content.

The Escalade can definitely go up against the others brands in this price point . It already has what is hugely important and that is IMAGE . And as long as GM gives the upscale Escalade options that are not shared with Chevy or GMC Denali I say go for it . Its a niche market that it can probably be the best .

Escalade is a very good vehicle and fantastic for GM to squeeze every cent out of that brand but they have a long way to go to command a $150K + price tag.
An exclusive price point requires exclusivity in refinement, create comfort and powertrains.
Think ‘Platinum ‘edition models but twice as good.
Where are the articles reporting GM 8L90 new 8 speed transmission and all its issues? Ref: PIP5337 Shake & shudder on acceleration excessive engine RPM FLuctuation. Oct 15, 2015. AS OF TO DATE, there is no recall nor date of resigned torque converter to be available.
Hopefully, I will hear from GM soon with a replacement transmission or torque converter.. Driving a 2015 Cadillac Escalade Premiun, $85,000.00 with 10 thousand miles, bucking and shaking down the road is not my image of, Cadillac’s flagship vehicle .
Gary, exactly, I just purchased a 2015 Escalade 2 weeks ago and complained about the very same issue. They confessed today and admitted the vehicle was a buy back and they didn’t tell me. They are replacing my Torque converter and extending my warranty for deceiving me by selling me a buy back vehicle without telling me upfront. This came about as I kept asking for the service records. Damn shame.
I am having the same issue in a 2015 Chevy Silverado 6.2 with the 8L90. Closer to 60K, not the 85K like you guys, but who’s counting. This is unacceptable. No torque converter fix as of October 30, 2015. How is this possible?
