Which American automaker produces the Cadillac Escalade?

General Motors produces the Cadillac Escalade. Cadillac is a luxury vehicle division owned by General Motors, so the Escalade is a Cadillac model within GM’s broader corporate portfolio.

The Escalade debuted for the 1999 model year as Cadillac’s answer to the growing luxury-SUV market. Its early versions were closely related to GM’s Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, and GMC Yukon full-size SUVs, sharing much of their underlying architecture while adding Cadillac-specific styling, equipment, and branding.

The model became one of Cadillac’s best-known vehicles and helped establish the full-size luxury SUV as a major segment. It is often confused with Ford’s Lincoln Navigator, another prominent American luxury SUV, but Lincoln belongs to Ford. Tesla is an independent electric-vehicle company, while Stellantis owns brands such as Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge—not Cadillac.
