The Pros and the Cons and Cadillac Escalade Hybrid Review

What comes to mind when you think of the Cadillac Escalade? Beautiful? Sure. The rap stars with a lot of 'bling'? Possibly a fuel saving of over 20 miles per gallon doubt, but that's exactly what the luxury division of GM hopes to change with the introduction of the hybrid Escalade.Even if shooting at more than 20 MPGs does not seem very impressive at first, you should keep in mind that it represents an economy of over 50%, according to Cadillac. This is quite impressive if we consider that the Escalade hybrid has not sacrificed a bit of luxury and size that makes it popular with the stars over 1.80m in height and its rewards. Even the Escalade Hybrid did not avoid much of its legendary utility; The 2WD models can still tow 6,000 pounds, while 4WD models can tow an impressive 5700 pounds.

There's plenty of 8000/7900 lb. capacity Towing capacity offered by the 2WD / AWD models powered by the 6.2-liter Vortec engine, but both models reach only 12 MPG in the city. The Escalade Hybrid combines an advanced electric propulsion system with a modern "high performance" V8 capable of operating with eight or four cylinders, regardless of the situation. This gives the Escalade Hybrid excellent power when needed and a reasonable economy when it comes to driving in the city. The net result is that the owners of the Escalade hybrid are not ashamed every time they see a service station.Lots of power, good looks and reasonable economy in an iconic American luxury luxury? The Escalade hybrid dismantles everything while sacrificing some of its large towing capacity. The secret was the hybrid vehicle technology that helped this big SUV to travel around 20 mpg in urban driving. Like its brothers, the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid and the GMC Yukon Hybrid, the Escalade Hybrid had a 6.0-liter V8 paired with a pair of 60 kW engines packed inside the transmission.
