The extra-cost options list is short on substantial items, a rear seat entertainment system available on all variants for $1,995, the lower trims able to buy into the Smart Trailering Package for $2,470, and Executive Seating available only on the Sport trims for $7,500. Buyers in California will be obligated to add Mobile Service Plus for $799. GM introduced the mobile technician program in 2024, expanding it in 2025. It's an option everywhere but California, $599 for all GM brands save for Cadillac.
Spendy cosmetic choices include a black painted roof for $1,100, Black Cherry Tintcoat for $1,225, and Midnight Steel Frost paint for $5,925. If an Escalade IQ shopper could add every option possible for the Sport 2 trim, they'd be looking at around $169,000 before taxes and fees, about the same sum as a fully loaded V8-powered Escalade-V ESV.
