Cadillac Escalade Window Sticker

The Cadillac Escalade window sticker — build, options & years

The Cadillac Escalade ran from 1999–2026 across 4 generations (1999–2001, 2002–2007, 2008–2020, 2021–2026). Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, built around the 3.0L, 6-cyl, Diesel fuel, Rear-Wheel Drive powertrain.

Which year's sticker do I need? Any Cadillac Escalade VIN works — ForCar reads the exact model year automatically. On owner data the cleanest years are 2026, 2001, 2020; the most-complained-about are 2007, 2008, 2002. For year-by-year recalls, MPG and safety, see the full Cadillac Escalade VIN decoder.

What the Cadillac Escalade sticker says about fuel

Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Escalade, latest tested year 2026:

The label also prints an estimated $4,550 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 574 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Escalade under Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.

How the Escalade's sticker figure changed

Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1999 to 2026. Worth checking before you compare a Escalade sticker from one year with another:

Over that span the combined figure rose by 4 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

Safety ratings printed on the label

The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the Escalade sticker carries as of its 2026 rating:

Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.

What a used Escalade sells for now

The label froze the Escalade price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the Escalade by model year, from 382 live US listings:

A 2026 Escalade asks a median $107,900 today, a 2015 about $19,500. Full breakdown on the Cadillac Escalade value page.

What's on the Cadillac Escalade sticker

Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 17 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings — 5 stars overall here, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Every Escalade VIN returns its own build rather than a generic spec.

For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost, and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

Where to find the VIN on a Cadillac Escalade

1. WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
2. Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Escalade, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
3. DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Cadillac Escalade all three must show the same number.

All four must match. A Cadillac Escalade whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
