I'm pretty sure they share the same architecture.
Lots of examples of that.

I'm seeing price creep, big time. Mainstream SUVs loaded up are hitting $50k, an Escalade is closer to $70k nowadays.
At that level prices have shifted upward about $20 grand over the past decade. Scary.

I think it has really exploded in the past 5 years - more of that inflation the powers that be don't want to admit. Still amazes me that a 3er can hit 60K these days, that 5ers and Es can get to 80K.

Escalade Platinum's are priced in the 90's.

$90s....wow.
Speechless.

Seeing a few of those new Evoque's around lately. I'm digging the styling except for the gun slit rear end.
Also another new Range Rover, this one in Triple Black.
Base model Mazda6, couple of new Altimas, a new Fusion (which is surprisingly rare find) and a Hyundai Equus.

Escalade Platinum's are priced in the 90's.
Not quite $90K. They ESV Platinum with every option ticked (ok - wheel locks are the only option) is $86K.
For comparison:
Navigator L $70K
Lexus LX570 $92K
The various Range Rover models start at $83K to $130K. The Autobiography model tops out at $139K!!

A loaded Escalade here in Canada is pushing close to $110k, which I think is a bit outrageous for basically a dressed up Chevy frame and powertrain with a SUV body, 3 bench seats, and some leather and wood trim.
Escalade price
