General Motors is beginning to slowly release official information on the upcoming new 2021 Cadillac Escalade.
The automaker confirmed this week that the next-generation luxury SUV will be offered with a curved widescreen OLED display with over 38-inches diagonal of total display area. Described by GM as the first screen of its type to be installed in a production vehicle, the automaker says the OLED display will have twice the pixel density of a 4K television and will offer the largest color range in the automotive industry.
A teaser video showing the display was also released, which we’ve embedded below. The show clip shows a darkened view of the new Escalade’s dashboard before the screen illuminates, showing off its wide, horizontal orientation and crisp, colorful graphics.
The teaser clip also confirms that the Cadillac Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system will be available on the 2021 Cadillac Escalade, showing a green Super Cruise meter on the vehicle’s steering wheel. The green light bar on the steering wheel is used to communicate to the driver when Super Cruise is fully engaged. The bar will begin to flash if the system detects that the driver is not paying attention to the road ahead, letting them know that Super Cruise will disengage if they remain inattentive.
Lastly, GM confirmed the 2021 Cadillac Escalade will make its official debut on February 4th, 2020. This debut date will coincide with Oscars week – which is always a busy time for the Cadillac marketing department, with the brand typically putting together a handful of advertisements to air during the popular awards show.
“From the highway to the big screen, the Escalade has been embraced by drivers and fans around the world,” Cadillac president Steve Carlisle said in a prepared statement. “We’re excited to introduce the 2021 Escalade during Oscars week in February.”

We got our first glimpse of the new Escalade’s exterior and interior last week, when a number of leaked images surfaced online. The exterior photos revealed the new SUV will appear a bit like the Cadillac XT6 from the front, while the interior shots gave us a clear look at the widescreen display. The interior photos showed off the vehicle’s redesigned dashboard and center console, as well, which will also take after other new Cadillac vehicles like the XT6.
We’ll have complete details on the 2021 Cadillac Escalade when it debuts in Los Angeles on February 4th, 2020. In the meantime, be sure to subscribe to GM Authority for continued Cadillac Escalade news, Cadillac news, and 24/7 GM news coverage.

Interesting…
Waiting……
Impressive!!! It should have made its debut on the CT4/5 models, so they standout in their segments.
That’s truly an incredible feat. Props to Cadillac for finally living up to the hype of the Escala.
Can’t wait for this reveal
Big screens, big grilles. This is the new “ mine is bigger than yours” world. Cool. Why not?
I remember when I first got married. My wife at the time, ( Divorced and she passed on with cancer) were really poor. Both musicians playing in a band for our income.
We had a black and white TV with an 8” or 10” screen. Having played sports
( football) in high school, I watched the football games on that silly little thing.
I remember yelling at the TV/ players, like most sports fans do. Then one day, I started laughing. My wife asked me what I was laughing at?
I said, “ I’m yelling at these big football players who are about 3” tall on this stupid little TV. “
You can’t make this stuff up.
Sorry. I felt sharing a stupid moment… I guess, relating to how far tech has come.
Can’t wait to see the real deal. Although, as I, and many have stated, the lazy “B” pillar treatment kind of seems lame compared to the rest of the design. Still waiting to see the rear end.
Hold on. Do people still watch the Oscars? Also, are any of these SUVs actually going to debut in Detroit? It seems like GM is actively avoiding the show.
If you are talking about NAIAS. It’s no longer in January, the show moved to June. June 7-20, 2020.
A lot of Oscar fans on this site apparently
Seems to me the Superbowl will be a really good time to advertise the new Escalade.
The specs sound impressive so far…it looks terrific from the releases interior pictures…shooting for the standard of the industry in screen tech…
I like what I’m hearing with this new ‘Slade.
I was impressed by the XT4, not so much by the XT6……. I was impressed with the new suburban, I just hope….HOPE this doesn’t follow the same GM “on, off” pattern and really blows my socks off!!
IF you look closely at the pictures that GMA has on the various Yukon models, it looks like the Denali has a similar setup to the Escalade, while the SLT has the screen sticking up like the Tahoe. Notice how the dash around the gauges is different.
Simply Cadillac “Escala”de; at least on his interior
Won’t be watching the lame awards show. I’ll catch later in ads, but take my money Cadillac.
How did you not receive all of the down votes?
Ooooohhh! Aaaahhhhhhhhh! (snore… snore… snore…). What’s the VEHICLE like?
This is probably unrelated, but I really love the Christmas TV add with the puppy and the GMC. AWESOME. Have always loved my GM vehicles.
