Cadillac Escalade Depreciation by Year
How fast does a Cadillac Escalade lose value?
A Cadillac Escalade keeps about 58% of its new price after three years and 48% after five years, comparing each trim with the same trim new. That is 9 points worse than the typical car in our study at three years. Bought new for $121,500, the typical Escalade would be worth about $71,000 after three years if it ages like today's Escalades.

Where an Escalade loses its value
The first year takes 15% of the price. The biggest single step is from 2025 to 2024 models (19 points). After the first year an Escalade loses about 6 points of its new price a year in this snapshot.
The current Escalade generation started with the 2021 model year. The last Escalades of the previous generation (2020) keep 30% of the same trim new, 18 points less than the year after them, where a typical year costs about 6. See how a new generation affects used prices.

About the data
We compared asking prices for cars listed for sale in the U.S. on November 9, 2026, one listing per car. "New" is the median asking price of new 2026 models. For each older model year we used cars with about 12,000 miles a year for their age (for example 27,000–45,000 miles for a 2023). We compared every trim with the same trim new and averaged the trims, weighted by the number of cars, so a shift in trim mix does not look like depreciation. Typical asking prices in the tables are the median of all trims at that age.
This is a snapshot of today's prices by age, not one car followed over time. A car you buy now can lose value faster or slower, especially if a new generation arrives. Asking prices are before negotiation, taxes and fees. New cars often sell below sticker, so the real first-year loss can be smaller than shown. We left out modified cars and prices that were clearly not a full asking price.
