The 2026 Cadillac Escalade introduces some minor changes, including revisions to the trim level lineup, such as GM Authority already discussed. Additionally, the 2026 Escalade also introduces a selection of new paint options that expand customer customization opportunities. Now, GM Authority is taking a closer look at one of the new colors, specifically Magnus Metal Frost.
Magnus Metal Frost is marked with color code GBL and touch-up paint number WA-234K. This top color is only available for the high-performance 2026 Cadillac Escalade-V, and cannot be paired with any non-V-Series model variants. As you might expect, Magnus Metal Frost isn’t exactly cheap – in fact, at $5,925, it’s the most expensive paint option offered for the 2026 Escalade. It also has a unique matte finish.
Of note, buyers must select the $725 Onyx Lite Package to unlock the exclusive new paint.
Magnus Metal Frost is available in combination with all interior colors offered for the 2026 Cadillac Escalade-V. More information regarding the 2026 Cadillac Escalade interior colorways can be found in our previous coverage.
