Pengenalan Lincoln Navigator pada model tahun 1998 mengharuskan General Motors untuk dapat bersaing di pasar Amerika yang sedang berkembang untuk truk tipe mewah ukuran penuh. Generasi ini hanya SUV lima kursi. Khawatir hegemoni tumbuh dari Lincoln Navigator, Escalade bergegas melalui proses desain untuk mencapai dealer dengan cepat. Pada dasarnya tidak lebih dari sebuah lencana-engineered GMC Yukon Denali, estetika SUV mirip dengan Denali dan kendaraan terakhir lebih kecil dari Navigator. Pondasi Escalade dipinjam dari lini Yukon Denali, dengan logo GMC di topi tengah diganti dengan lambang Cadillac. Escalade juga menggunakan 5,7 L Vortec 5700 V8 yang sama pada 255 hp (190 kW), yang kurang bertenaga dibandingkan dengan Navigator 300 hp (224 kW) dan 365 lb⋅ft (495 N⋅m) 5,4 Liter InTech V8. Semua Escalades generasi pertama menampilkan Auto-Trac 4x4 yang dapat dipilih. Escalade 1999-2000 mencapai 11 mpg‑US (21 L/100 km) kota dan 15 mpg‑US (16 L/100 km) jalan raya berdasarkan protokol pengujian EPA AS.[3][4]
Escalade generasi pertama (serta kembarannya yang identik secara mekanis, GMC Yukon Denali), tersedia dalam konfigurasi tunggal (satu level trim "dasar" dengan satu opsi drive train penggerak empat roda (4X4)), dan termasuk sejumlah besar peralatan standar, dengan sedikit pilihan yang tersedia. Perlengkapan standar termasuk velg aluminium-alloy berlapis krom enam belas inci, bumper depan dan belakang dengan kunci warna dan panel penutup samping, sistem telematika dan komunikasi di dalam kendaraan OnStar, GM-Delco A/ premium kelas atas. Stereo kaset M-F/M dengan CD changer yang dipasang dari jarak jauh, kontrol nada otomatis (ATC), jam, dan sistem audio enam speaker premium Bose yang diperkuat, permukaan tempat duduk berlapis kulit mewah dengan logo timbul di kedua kursi bucket depan, bagian depan yang dapat disesuaikan daya kursi bucket dengan sistem memori pengemudi, permukaan tempat duduk depan dan belakang berpemanas, peralatan bertenaga penuh (jendela, kunci pintu, dan kaca spion berpemanas), alarm keamanan, entri tanpa kunci, instrumentasi lengkap, kontrol iklim tri-zona untuk kursi depan dan belakang , ventilasi kontrol iklim belakang, sistem audio belakang dan kontrol iklim, konsol overhead penuh dengan penyimpanan, kaca spion peredupan otomatis dengan kompas dan pengukur suhu, trim interior kayu, roda kemudi berbalut kulit dan kayu dengan cruise co ntrol dan logo timbul, kepala depan otomatis dan lampu kabut, rel atap dengan persiapan untuk rak atap opsional, di antara perlengkapan standar lainnya.
Sementara MSRP dasar dari GMC Yukon Denali 2000 meningkat menjadi $43.535 (naik $460 dari $43.075 pada tahun 1999), Cadillac Escalade mempertahankan MSRP dasar sebesar $46.225 pada tahun 1999 dan 2000. GMC Yukon Denali menyertakan fasia depan yang unik serta bumper depan dan belakang untuk membedakannya dari sepupunya yang tidak mewah, GMC Suburban. Satu-satunya perbedaan fisik antara Cadillac Escalade generasi pertama dan GMC Yukon Denali adalah emblem pada gril depan, pintu depan, tailgate belakang, roda kemudi, dan bordir kursi depan.
General Motors mempertahankan Cadillac Escalade pertama yang diproduksi di Arlington Assembly pada tahun 1998, model Aspen White 1999, dalam Koleksi Warisannya, VIN # 400001.[5] Satu-satunya warna standar yang tersedia adalah Silver Sand, Sable Black, Aspen White dan Bordeaux Red Pearl.[6] Warna standar Yukon Denali termasuk Silvermist Metallic, Spruce Green (1999), Emerald Green Metallic (2000), Black Onyx, dan Dark Toreador Red Metallic.

Unlike its Chevrolet and GMC siblings, which launched for the 2000 model year, Cadillac delayed the Escalade's switch to the GMT820 chassis until February 2001 as a 2002 model, the last of the three General Motors full-size truck and SUV brands to switch to the new chassis; Cadillac unveiled the 2002 model year Escalade in August 2000 at Pebble Beach, while continuing to sell the 2000 model year trucks. Rear-wheel drive was standard, as was a 5.3 L V8. All-wheel drive was standard on the ESV and EXT and was optional on the short wheelbase Escalade. The special high-output Vortec 6.0 L V8 engine was the sole engine choice on all-wheel drive models whether it was the short wheelbase, ESV, or EXT until mid-year 2005 when the 5.3L was dropped altogether. Mid-year 2005, all rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive Escalades came with the high output 6.0L Vortec V8. All models (except for the EXT) offered seating up to eight people.
The "StabiliTrak" electronic stability control system was upgraded to a four-wheel version, High Intensity Discharge (HID) low beam headlights, power-adjustable pedals and signal outside mirrors were added as a standard feature in 2003, along with a Bulgari-branded clock.[8] For 2004, XM Satellite Radio, second-row bucket seats, and a tire pressure monitoring system were made standard on all Escalades except the EXT. Also in 2004, the Platinum edition Escalade ESV was introduced at a base price of $71,025; it featured the luxury utility segment's first factory-installed 20-inch chrome wheels, a slightly lowered suspension, heated and cooled seats (front and back), heated and cooled cup holders, moon roof, second and third row monitors, an interior that included an ebony and shale dashboard, shale leather upholstery and pleated door panel bolsters, a chrome grille, and a standard 6.0 liter V8 producing 345 hp (257 kW). The OnStar system was upgraded for the 2005 model year and had become a digital system instead of the analog system that had been in use.
In 2003, a year after their introduction, the GMT800-based Cadillac Escalade and Escalade EXT received an interior facelift, while the exterior design was left mostly unchanged. The audio system was upgraded to offer two different radio options: an AM/FM radio with cassette and single-disc CD players, or an AM/FM radio with a single-disc CD player and a touchscreen GPS navigation system (Radio Data System (RDS) was also included with both radios). Both radio options included a separate six-disc, in-dash CD changer unit mounted in the lower portion of the instrument panel and controlled via the radio (the CD changer still featured numbered buttons for disc selection, as well as 'Load' and 'Eject' buttons). The Driver Information Center (DIC) was moved from a separate unit in the instrument panel to the odometer display screen in the instrument cluster, where the gauges were also revised with the larger odometer display screen. XM Satellite Radio became available, and the OnStar telematics system controls were relocated from the instrument panel to the electrochromic inside rearview mirror (ISRV). A rear seat DVD entertainment system, which included two pairs of wireless headphones, and was produced by Panasonic, was also a new option for the 2003 model year. The instrument panel and steering wheel both featured updated designs (the steering wheel now also featured remote audio system, OnStar, and speed (cruise control) buttons on the front of the wheel). The electrochromic inside rearview mirror (ISRV) now integrated the OnStar system controls in addition to the exterior (outside) temperature display and integrated directional compass. The front and second and third-row seat designs were updated, and the Zebrano interior trim was replaced with Burlwood. The Escalade ESV (extended-length model) debuted for the 2003 model year. Finally, the warning chimes now played through the front driver's door speaker, as opposed to a separately mounted chime module on 2002 models.
