Number One – And Then Some

U.S. News and World Report named the 2008 Cadillac Escalade the number one vehicle in its class. Little did they know, the engineers at Cadillac were just getting started. For 2009, Escalade, ESV and EXT continue to deliver all the premium style, robust V8 performance and intelligent luxury they've become renowned for, along with a host of new standard features like a Rear-view Camera, a DVD navigation system and Bluetooth® cell phone connectivity, an in-vehicle system that allows Bluetooth-enabled cell phones to utilize vehicle’s audio system, microphone, voice recognition and steering wheel controls, for hands-free cell phone calling. There's also a new Platinum Edition model that takes the luxury SUV concept to a whole new level. And, of course, the pièce de résistance: Escalade Hybrid, Canada's first hybrid-powered full-size luxury SUV, with fuel efficiency that's up to 32 percent better than its non-hybrid stablemate. ^† The 2009 Escalade family. Raising the bar, again.
