2011 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid
The Cadillac Escalade Hybrid is the world's first fuel-saving hybrid applied to a large luxury SUV. It achieves an EPA-rated 20 miles per gallon in the city, a 50-percent fuel economy improvement over the non-hybrid model. The Escalade Hybrid models are powered by GM's innovative, fuel-saving 2-Mode hybrid system and offer the same dramatic design, luxury and full-size capability that have made the Escalade an icon.

Since 2010, the Escalade lineup also includes the Escalade Platinum Hybrid.
It is the most technically advanced large luxury SUV yet, blending the exclusive
features of the Escalade Platinum model with the fuel-saving powertrain of the
Escalade Hybrid.
Escalade Hybrid and Escalade Platinum Hybrid are
available in 2WD and 4WD configurations. They deliver up to 5,800 pounds (2,631
kg) of usable towing capacity on 2WD models and 5,600 pounds (2,540 kg) on 4WD
models. The hybrid models include nearly all of Escalade's standard comfort and
convenience features, including an eight-inch, touch screen navigation system
that displays performance readouts of the hybrid system.
In its recently
released "Best of the Best" special issue, the Robb Report, which covers luxury
consumer goods, gave Best Sport Utility Vehicle honors to the Cadillac Escalade
Hybrid.
