The 2021 Cadillac Escalade rides on the all-new T1 platform, otherwise known as GMT-T1 or T1XX. The General Motors vehicle architecture was designed for pickup trucks and body-on-frame SUVs. The 2021 Cadillac Escalade is assembled by GM USA at the GM Arlington plant in Arlington, Texas, USA.
Production of the all-new 2021 model got off to somewhat of a rocky start as a result of challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Availability remains very tight due to high demand and suboptimal supply. We recommend checking with your dealer for specific details and current inventory/availability. For reference, starting 2021 Cadillac Escalade prices by trim level are shown below:
- Luxury – $77,840
- Premium Luxury – $84,840
- Sport – $87,540
- Premium Luxury Platinum – $102,240
- Sport Platinum – $102,240
Meanwhile, the 2022 Escalade, which is expected to bring about a few minor changes over the 2021 model year, is expected to go into production in the next few weeks.
