Yet again, there are no Cadillac Escalade discount offers available in May 2022. That means that the luxury marque is not offering any incentives or discounts toward the purchase of lease of its highly popular full-size SUV.
In fact, it has now been 15 months since the last time Cadillac offered incentives on the Escalade, as the last time any discount was offered was back in February 2021.

The lack of 2022 Cadillac Escalade discount offers this May 2022, and in prior months, is the direct result of extremely high demand and tight supply for the Escalade. The ongoing global microchip shortage has drastically stifled vehicle production, resulting in inventory shortages of new vehicles industry-wide.
The low supply, high demand scenario has prompted some dealers to mark up Cadillac Escalade MSRP to reflect a “fair market value.” Some dealers are asking for as much as $25,000 or even $40,000 above sticker price in some scenarios. Cadillac’s parent company, General Motors, has issued a warning to offending dealers against this kind of behavior.
Despite all this, the Cadillac Escalade continues to dominate its competitive segment in terms of sales volume, earning 50 percent segment share during Q1 2022. It can then be assumed that the luxury marque does not see a need to offer a Cadillac Escalade discount as consumers will likely end up buying the luxury SUV despite a lack of incentives or the higher price point.
