What a Cadillac Escalade build sheet shows
On an Escalade the high-value items are mostly options and trim: Super Cruise hardware, the AKG audio system, Air Ride and Magnetic Ride suspension, seating and appearance packages, and whether it is a V-Series. You get the RPO codes for the ordered options and packages — not every standard-equipment code on the SPID label.
- • The factory trim, exterior color, and interior trim recorded for that VIN.
- • Installed factory options and packages, when the underlying build data includes them — for GM vehicles, the RPO codes for the options and packages the vehicle was ordered with.
- • Original MSRP figures, when the underlying build data includes them — not every VIN or model year has this available.
- • A downloadable, printable PDF you can keep with the vehicle’s records or share with a seller or lender.
Data density varies by model year and specific VIN — some vehicles return a full option and MSRP breakdown, others return trim and color only. We tell you which one applies before you pay. Not included: accident history, title brands (salvage, flood, lemon), odometer history, prior-owner count, service records.
Cadillac Escalade options that matter most
RPO codes shown are from the GM RPO code reference, with where they apply in brackets. Options marked “by name” appear on the build record under their option name — the RPO code varies by model year and is shown on the build sheet for that VIN when the build data includes it.
| Option | RPO code (applies to) | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Engine (current generation) |
| The standard gas V8 on the current Escalade; a diesel and the supercharged V-Series are the alternatives. |
| Super Cruise | By name | Shown by name. Hands-free driver-assistance hardware installed at build — it cannot be added later, so it is one of the biggest value questions on a used Escalade. |
| AKG Studio audio | By name | Shown by name. The premium audio tiers differ by trim and package; confirm on the record. |
| Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control | By name | Shown by name. Factory suspension hardware on the current generation. |
| Escalade-V (V-Series) | By name | Shown by name. Supercharged performance model; confirm the series on the record rather than the badge. |
| Duramax 3.0L diesel | By name | Shown by name. Offered on the current generation for certain years. |
| ESV (long wheelbase) | By name | Shown by name. The VIN descriptor and build record both distinguish ESV from the standard Escalade. |
Exterior color is a separate paint code, printed on the SPID label. Looking for a Corvette? It has its own Corvette build sheet by VIN page.

Where to find the VIN and the SPID label on a Cadillac Escalade
- • The VIN is visible through the lower driver-side corner of the windshield.
- • It is also on the driver-side door-jamb certification label, and on the title, registration and insurance card.
- • GM's Service Parts Identification (SPID) label is usually inside the glovebox (sometimes in the center console, trunk or spare-tire area). It repeats the VIN, shows the paint code and lists every RPO the vehicle was built with — standard equipment included, often 50 or more codes.
The CarWhere build sheet is not a copy of that label. It returns the RPO codes for the options and packages the vehicle was ordered with — the codes that set one Escalade apart from another — when the build data includes them. If the label is missing, faded or you can't see the vehicle, that is usually what you need. How to read the label itself: GM SPID label explained.
Example: a Cadillac Escalade VIN, position by position
Illustrative example, not a specific vehicle: 1GYS4BKL0RR012345 is a check-digit-valid pattern that the federal decoder reads as a 2024 Cadillac Escalade Premium Luxury SUV, 4WD, with a 6.2L V8, built in Arlington, Texas. Nothing in the 17 characters lists RPO codes or packages — those live in the production record for the VIN. Decode any Cadillac VIN free with the Cadillac VIN decoder.
| Positions | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | 1GY | World Manufacturer Identifier — Cadillac SUVs built in the US (1GY). |
| 4–7 | S4BK | Vehicle descriptor — GM line, series, body and restraint coding; vPIC reads Escalade Premium Luxury, 4WD SUV. |
| 8 | L | Engine code — vPIC reads a 6.2L V8 (gasoline). |
| 9 | 0 | Check digit (validates the other 16 characters). |
| 10 | R | Model year 2024. |
| 11 | R | Assembly plant: Arlington, Texas. |
| 12–17 | 012345 | Production serial number. |
Cadillac window sticker vs build sheet
Start with the free Cadillac window sticker by VIN lookup: when GM's window-sticker system has the original Monroney label for that VIN, it lists the factory options and packages with their prices. When no sticker comes back, the build sheet is the replacement — This CarWhere build sheet is reconstructed from available VIN-level build data. It is not an official Cadillac Monroney label or factory certificate. The other routes (SPID label, dealer printout, owner app) are compared in how to find GM options by VIN.

FAQ
How do I know if an Escalade has Super Cruise?
Super Cruise is factory-installed hardware, so check the build record for that VIN rather than the listing. The window sticker shows it as a line item when GM’s system has the sticker; otherwise a build sheet lists the ordered options when the build data includes them.
Does the Escalade build sheet show AKG audio?
Ordered options and packages, including audio, appear with their RPO codes when the build data includes them. You see the data density before you pay.
Is the build sheet the same as the Escalade glovebox SPID label?
Not exactly. The Service Parts Identification (SPID) label lists every RPO on the vehicle, including standard equipment. The CarWhere build sheet returns the RPO codes for the options and packages the vehicle was ordered with — the codes that set one build apart from another — when the build data includes them.
How much is a Escalade build sheet by VIN?
Checking whether detailed build data exists for the VIN is free and happens before you pay. If it does, the report — including the build sheet — is $9.99 one-time, no subscription. If it doesn’t, you are not charged.
Is the CarWhere Escalade build sheet an official Cadillac document?
No. This CarWhere build sheet is reconstructed from available VIN-level build data. It is not an official Cadillac Monroney label or factory certificate. When GM’s window-sticker system has the original sticker for a VIN, the free Cadillac window sticker lookup returns that document instead.
