SHORT ANSWER
For 2027 in Canada, Escalade Luxury and Sport are parallel base trims with the same full-size Escalade foundation but different exterior design themes. Luxury uses bright/Galvano details such as bright roof rails and Galvano bodyside mouldings; Sport uses body-colour/gloss-black details including Gloss Black roof rails and bodyside mouldings. Both are 4WD.

The biggest visual difference
| Detail | Luxury | Sport |
|---|---|---|
| Drivetrain | 4WD | 4WD |
| Door handle accent | Galvano accents | Body-colour |
| Roof rails | Bright | Gloss Black |
| Bodyside mouldings | Galvano | Gloss Black |
What does not change
Both remain full-size Escalades and share major standard equipment such as the 55-inch display environment, Super Cruise equipment and the same basic body dimensions. The next step up is Platinum Luxury or Platinum Sport, which add substantially more cabin/content equipment rather than simply changing the exterior theme.
