The 2026 Cadillac Escalade-V is showing an estimated lease of $3,159 per month, and this one comes with a detail that should interest any serious buyer: it has been sitting on the lot for 124 days with no price change. In a market where the average Escalade-V is transacting at nearly $180,000, roughly $3,000 above MSRP, this example is listed right at sticker. That’s an unusual combination of time on the ground and fair pricing on Cadillac’s most powerful SUV. The estimate is based on current programs running through early June.

The 2026 Cadillac Escalade-V Lease Deal

This is an estimated lease, not an official Cadillac national program, so actual terms will vary by location and credit profile. The vehicle is a 2026 Escalade-V AWD powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 producing 682 horsepower and mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The MSRP is $176,980, and the dealer lists it at the same figure. That’s notable context: the average transaction price for the Escalade-V is currently $179,925, meaning most buyers are paying above sticker price.

The estimated monthly payment is $3,159 for 36 months. Due at signing is $8,930, covering the first month’s payment and applicable fees. No security deposit is required. The mileage allowance is 12,000 miles per year. Taxes, title, registration, and government fees are excluded. The total cost to the lessee over the full term is approximately $120,578. The estimate is based on programs valid through June 2, 2026, and requires credit approval. No manufacturer incentives are currently available on this vehicle.

What You’re Getting

The Escalade-V is the performance flagship of Cadillac’s entire lineup. The supercharged 6.2-liter V8 shares its DNA with the engine in the CT5-V Blackwing and delivers 682 horsepower and 653 lb-ft of torque through an AWD system calibrated for both straight-line speed and composed handling, at a vehicle weight exceeding three tons. Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 and adaptive air suspension work together to keep the ride composed, whether you’re cruising at highway speed or pushing through corners.

Inside, the Escalade-V carries the same 38-inch curved OLED display, AKG Studio Reference audio system, heated and ventilated front seats, and seven-passenger three-row layout found in the standard Escalade, but the V adds unique interior trim, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and performance-specific instrumentation. The cabin is finished in Jet Black premium leather. Towing capacity is rated at 7,200 pounds, and Cadillac backs the drivetrain with a 6-year/70,000-mile warranty.

The Bottom Line

At $3,159 a month, this is not a lease for the budget-conscious, but the Escalade-V was never built for that buyer. What makes this particular listing interesting is the negotiation opportunity. A 124-day lot sits with no price movement, an at-MSRP asking price in a market that’s trending above sticker, and zero manufacturer incentives all suggest a dealer who may be ready to deal. If you’ve had your eye on the Escalade-V, this is the kind of listing where a well-prepared buyer with strong credit could push for a lower capitalized cost and bring that monthly number down. The estimate runs through June 2.
