The 2022 Cadillac Escalade is once again back on track to offer the GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system as standard on four of the five available trim levels.
The 2022 Cadillac Escalade luxury SUV follows the completely overhauled 2021 model year with a few changes and updates. One of the updates introduced for the 2022 model year is the inclusion of the GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system as standard equipment for Premium Luxury, Premium Luxury Platinum, Sport, and Sport Platinum trim levels, as GM Authority covered previously. By comparison, the 2021 Cadillac Escalade offered Super Cruise as optional on Premium Luxury, Premium Luxury Platinum, Sport, and Sport Platinum trim levels. The base-model 2022 Cadillac Escalade Luxury trim will not offer Super Cruise, nor was it offered for the 2021 model year.
However, in September, GM Authority reported that the 2022 Cadillac Escalade would not offer Super Cruise at production start, with no indication as to when the feature would be made available again. Now, however, the 2022 Cadillac Escalade is once again back on track to include Super Cruise as standard on Premium Luxury, Premium Luxury Platinum, Sport, and Sport Platinum trim levels, as originally planned.
For those who may not know, GM Super Cruise incorporates visual cameras, LiDAR, GPS, and radar sensors to control a vehicle on select stretches of highways across North America. The system is currently available for use on 200,000 miles of highway in the U.S. and Canada.
As a reminder, the 2022 Cadillac Escalade is available with two engine options, namely the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, as well as the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodeisel Duramax, rated at 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Both engines connect to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Under the skin, the 2022 Cadillac Escalade rides on the GM T1 platform. Production takes place at the GM Arlington plant in Arlington, Texas.

No thanks! This is dumb, what’s the point?
Do they have here professional thumb downers who get paid for each thumb down?
GM, I do not care about Escalade. Put the Super Cruise on XT4 and XT5.
Absolutely love the dash on the slade. That is how to do a digital dash. Glad to see they will use it on Lyriq and hoping it becomes the standard Cadillac dash. Well done.
I am interested in trading my Denali truck on a Escalade, Yukon XL Denali, or Suburban High Country. Deisel sounds interesting. Mid 30’s on fuel mileage sounds great. How awesome would it be to just be able to close your eyes for a few minutes. As your cruising down the highway. Enjoying a Great AMERICAN made vehicle. Mary, Please bring more production back to the USA.
Why is any of this even relevant when you can’t use it?
I wouldn’t use it! I’m a fan of the adaptive cruise control.
I thought the system was optional and not standard for ’22?
I spoke to my dealer whom I just put an order in with and said this wasn’t true. Maybe later in the year but not currently. So maybe by the time mine goes to production but not currently.
What they don’t tell you is that though it has Super Cruise installed, it’s just ‘ready’, so everything is installed, but the chip part, will be available at some time, and the dealer will install it. So, I have the green light steering wheel, camera, buttons, etc…but they don’t work.
I have a 2022 Sport, with SuperCruise, but it’s not enabled…dealership will call me when the part is in……………
Wonderful. However, I am glad I was able to get it, even though I have to wait a few months to play…
Dec. 31 I picked up my 2022 Escalade (Premium Luxury) and they did not tell me that, I have been trying to figure out how to use it, I wonder if my chipped hasn’t been installed as well!, do you know how i could tell?
You go in them middle lane of a main highway that is SC compadable, select Adaptive Cruise, then the SC button…it will say “Super Cruise Not Available”…..I was told the chip part will be added once they have them, so….you paid $2500 for a steering wheel with a light….it’s such BS.
GM misled numerous people into believing that they can buy various Cadillac models with Super Cruise. I think this is a cause to file a class action lawsuit against GM. They deserve it.
Well, I have a 39 month lease….$2500 for the option, plus tax for me is about $70 a month….which they should credit back to me for every month it’s not active.
I was told for 22 and beyond its not an option its 2500.00 that has now become standard, I think they should remove it from the options side and put it on the standard side!! Maansman I cant wait to get off work and try it out!! For some reason I cant even sign into the the Cadillac app, it tells me the have no email matching so then i try to create an account and it tells me the email already exists, they are working on it but its now been 11 days, Dont get me wrong I love it probably so far my biggest complaint is the 24 gallon gas tank!!
Correct, ,it’s not option. When I ordered my 22 Sport, with Tour Package, it was $95.5 msrp….when I got the truck, MSRP was $2500 more and it had Super Cruise…which as you know, doesn’t work. I am all good for the Cadillac app…I’m coming from a 2019 Escalade, so the migration was pretty simple…good luck.
Thank you, I also had a 2019 Escalade, but I never used the app, I thought I would try it because of the perks it offered!!
Not available starting May 09, 2022 up here in Canada. Are you guys still able to order it?
