capacity ranges from 24 to 31 gallons. 
Cadillac’s best-selling entry into the SUV market combines luxury with an engine capable of going from 0 to 60 mph in under 4.4 seconds. To help you budget your expenses on a full-size, luxury SUV like the Escalade, you’ll need to know how much gas is needed for a full tank.

How big is the gas tank on a Cadillac Escalade?

The gas tank capacity on your Escalade depends, for the most part, on two factors: the model year and the trim level
Take for instance the 2022 Escalade, of the 20 available trims, all have a gas tank capacity of 24 gallons, except for the 10
Escalade ESV
models, which each have a gas tank capacity of 28.3 gallons
From 2002 to 2013, an additional all-wheel-drive (AWD), V8 trim was available with a gas tank size of 31 gallons, equal to the tank capacities of the ESV models from those years. From 2009 to 2013, a hybrid model was available with a gas tank smaller than or equal to the standard SUV model’s size.  
See below for a comprehensive list of the gas tank sizes for the Escalades from 2021 to 1999.

How to check your Escalade’s gas tank size

If you’re not sure about the year or trim of your Cadillac Escalade, there are a few other ways you can figure out the capacity of your fuel tank. 

Check the owner’s manual

Your Escalade’s gas tank size can be verified by looking it up in the owner’s manual. Look for phrases like “fuel tank capacity” in your manual’s appendix and you should be able to find it in no time. 

Measure the tank

Grab a calculator and some measuring tape and find your Escalade’s gas tank. If you multiply together the tank’s height, width, and length and then divide that number by 231 (231 being the number of cubic inches in a gallon), you can verify your SUV’s gas tank size.

How to save on fuel costs for your Escalade

Escalades are known for providing a luxurious and comfortable ride. What they are not known for is great mileage. Here are some ways you can stretch your dollar when it comes to increasing fuel efficiency: 
  • Proper upkeep. Keeping your Escalade in top shape will prevent the fuel efficiency from plummeting. 
  • Avoid accelerating. Driving at a steady pace will keep your Escalade from guzzling more gas than it needs. 
  • Don’t idle, even when it's cold outside. Keeping your Escalade running to heat it up on a cold day is a waste of gas. Instead, let it warm up while you go, but start off driving slowly.
