As has seemingly become the norm, there are no Cadillac Escalade discount offers available in June 2022. That means that the luxury marque is not offering any incentives or discounts toward the purchase or lease of its highly popular full-size SUV.
For those keeping track, it has now been 16 months since the last time Cadillac offered incentives for the Escalade. The last time any sort of discount was offered was back in February 2021.
For the sake of context, below we have provided a list of every Cadillac Escalade discount offered during the 2021 calendar year, as well as year-to-date 2022:

Below, we’ve included the 2022 Escalade and 2022 Escalade ESV trim levels and their corresponding starting MSRPs, which include the $1,695 destination charge.

The lack of 2022 Cadillac Escalade discount offers this June 2022, and for over a year prior, is the direct result of extremely high demand and less-than-optimal supply of the Cadillac Escalade at the dealer level. 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.” In fact, some dealers are asking for as much as $25,000 or even $40,000 above sticker price in some scenarios. Cadillac issued a warning to offending dealers against this kind of behavior, but it seems to have had little effect.
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.

We strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information about the vehicles and their incentives in question, but errors and misprints can happen. In addition, the manufacturer can change incentive information at any time and without notice. Always consult with your dealer regarding color availability information before making purchase decisions. Cadillac Society will not be held responsible for any misprints, typos or any other errors.
