Cadillac Escalade Hybrid

The Cadillac Escalade Hybrid will be available with either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The vehicle is rated to tow a maximum of 5700 lbs (4wd) or 6000 lbs (2wd).

The Cadillac Escalade is not about understatement, so it is perhaps to be expected that the Cadillac Escalade spells out Hybrid along its lower body in the biggest letters of any hybrid vehicle. After all, what's the point of doing your little part for mother earth if you can't boast about it?

The new Cadillac Escalade is here. The Cadillac Escalade will go hybrid in the 2008 model year, along with the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. GM claims a 25 percent increase in fuel economy. Why upgrade? Aside from the smooth new styling--check out the size of that wreath-and-crest badge!--the Cadillac Escalade has more power, more features, and a far nicer interior. Key bragging points include: a larger 6.2-liter V-8 with 403 hp (58 more than before); a six-speed automatic; a power liftgate and power running boards; standard stability control and side curtain air bags; optional 22-inch chrome wheels; plus available navigation, remote starting, and a rear-view camera.
