The next time you see a Cadillac Escalade rolling down the street, you could be in for a surprise. The style-making large luxury SUV you're feasting your eyes upon could be a 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. That's right, starting this fall, Cadillac's trendsetting SUV is going green.
"Escalade, already the sales and style leader among large luxury SUVs, now adds the desirability of a fuel-saving, technically advanced hybrid system,” said Jim Taylor, U.S. Cadillac general manager. “The arrival of Escalade Hybrid means that consumers can now use less fossil fuel, reduce emissions and still enjoy the benefits of a full-size luxury SUV.”
2-Mode Hybrid technology: The best of both worlds
The Escalade's 2-Mode Hybrid system returns exceptional fuel consumption in both city and highway driving while delivering the capabilities of a true luxury SUV. In city driving, the advanced hybrid power system enables Escalade to launch and drive low speeds on electricity alone. As additional power is demanded, the system blends output from the battery and gas engine smoothly.
The 2-Mode Hybrid system provides seamless, dependable power on demand in an efficient package. In fact, its electric motor is less than half the size of those in single-mode hybrid systems. This technology was developed and is still used in fleets of hybrid transit buses on the streets today in dozens of major North American cities. Scaled-down for use in full-size SUVs, the 2-Mode system delivers fuel savings where it is needed most – in large vehicles with high levels of capability. It's the best of both worlds. Check out the Escalade Hybrid at your Cadillac dealer this fall.
