The 2021 Cadillac Escalade has both domestic and foreign rivals.
The Lincoln Navigator is its closest competitor.
It has a richly appointed interior but its tech doesn’t wow like Cadillac’s.
While the Infiniti QX80 has been updated it’s still dated both in its interior and fuel economy ratings.
The BMW X7 is big and sporty by comparison, but it doesn’t have a ton of cargo capacity behind its third row.
The GMC Yukon will compete with the Escalade for some buyers, especially those considering a Denali, though the Caddy still offers more technology and amenities.
The Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class is a smoother competitor thanks to its unibody structure, and the Land Rover Range Rover balances its luxury with off-road prowess.
