Escalade Marketing Manager Dave Schiavone recently revealed trim-level sales stats for this model, according to Cadillac Society’s Jonathan Lopez. Per Schiavone, the Premium Luxury trim accounts for 40 percent of Escalade sales here in the U.S. The Platinum trim accounts for 30 percent of model sales. The other 30 percent of sales are divided between the lower two trims, the base model and the Luxury version. These stats represent both regular- and extended-length Escalade models.

2021 Escalade trims

It will be interesting to see how sales figures change later this year when Cadillac releases the 2021 Escalade during the third quarter. The new Escalade will adopt the Y trim level strategy that models like the 2019 XT4 and CT6 models offered. This means that the 2021 Escalade will be available in five trims, instead of just four: Luxury, Premium Luxury, Platinum Luxury, Sport, and Platinum Sport.

According to Lopez, Sport trim sales account for 45 percent of overall sales for the Cadillac models that currently follow the Y trim strategy. This consumer infatuation with the Sport trim will likely carry over into 2021 Escalade sales stats.
