Cadillac Escalade Incentive Offers Are Non-Existent In April 2021

Incentives for the all-new 2021 Cadillac Escalade are non-existent in April. That’s in stark contrast to the situation throughout most of the 2020 calendar year, where the luxury marque offered up to $9,500 cash back on all outgoing 2020 model year Escalades.

The reason for the lack of Escalade incentive offers in April 2021 is quite obvious: demand for the Escalade is red hot, resulting in substantial gains in sales volume (see running Cadillac Escalade sales). That strong demand is compounded by short supply as a result of the ongoing microchip shortage. As a result, it’s almost unnecessary for Cadillac to incentivize sales of a product that’s in high demand yet short supply.

Compared to the previous-generation model, the 2021 Escalade features an entirely new exterior and interior design, new trim levels, and new powertrain options. Additionally, the luxury SUV features exclusive, first-to-market technologies, including a curved Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) screen, the first AKG automotive audio system and Cadillac’s acclaimed Super Cruise driver assistance technology.
