I've seen '15 Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/Yukon XL, but not Escalade... doesn't mean it's not out there, but I've been through FLL, MIA, SEA, SFO, LAX, TUL, ORD, MDW, and ATL in the last 3 months.

I've seen reports that they've been spotted in the wild but most dealers will give you one to test drive if you're in the market...and they don't charge for the privilege

I saw two in Denver the week before Labor Day. I tried to finagle one as I was using my free executive days. I had already reserved a Suburban so I figured it wouldn't be that big of a deal. They said no dice that executive elite days don't allow to rent them.
They looked nice though.

Saw a bunch of 2015 Yukons at MSP. It's what I'm renting this week. Did not see any Escalades.

ATL has the new Escalades but they use them for Enterprise's Exotic Rental office. From what I was told from management there, if your airport has Enterprise Exotic, the '15 Escalades will end up there. BTW, Enterprise Exotic rental price for the new Escalade: $300/day plus $400 deposit. YMMV

It could very well still be a '13 Escalade... I know there are still plenty kicking around (I almost took one from ES in MSP in June, but it seemed a bit ostentatious for just myself). Also, there's the Infinity QX80 or even older '13 model QX56, and you might see a '13 Lincoln Navigator if they've not all been shipped off to Alamo because of mileage. The '14 QX80 is the only "current" model year LFAR with a a ride report, but '14 Escalade and Navigator could be out there too (just with nothing to update in a ride report compared to '13).

15's are in Naples off-airport (2 of them) which is weird but asking $250/day+. Part of the new "exotic fleet". I ended up with a Tahoe LTZ for no upcharge.
