Once again, there is no Cadillac Escalade discount available in February 2023. That means that the luxury marque is not offering any sort of discount or deal toward the purchase or lease of its most popular vehicle. This month’s lack of incentives marks two straight years since any were offered for the Escalade.
Cadillac Escalade Discount
For the sake of context, below we have provided a list of every Cadillac Escalade discount (or lack thereof) offered throughout the 2021 and 2022 calendar years, as well as thus far in 2023.

It’s worth noting that the Escalade continues to be a hot seller despite extravagant markups at the dealer level. Some dealers are asking as much as $15,000 to $30,000 over MSRP for the full-size luxury SUV, and continue to do so despite warnings from Cadillac and its parent company, General Motors, against the practice. Even so, the Escalade continues to dominate its competitive segment, vastly outselling its next-closest competitor, the Lincoln Navigator, by more than double.

It’s safe to assume, then, that many customers will and have been purchasing the Escalade despite its inflated price point, likely discouraging the luxury marque from offering any sort of Cadillac Escalade discount. However, expected softness in the auto market might change the course of events in the second half of the 2023 calendar year, as availability improves and demand slows on recession woes. We’ll report back with more as we have it.
We strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information about the vehicles and their incentives in question, but errors and misprints can happen.
