What comes to mind when you think about the Cadillac Escalade? Good looks? Positive. Rap stars with lots of ‘bling’? Possibly. Fuel economy of 20+ miles per gallon? Doubtful, but that’s precisely what GM’s luxury division is hoping to alter with the introduction of the Escalade Hybrid.

Although shooting for 20+ MPG doesn’t appear quite impressive at initial, it represents an increased economy of over 50% according to Cadillac. That’s fairly impressive contemplating that the Escalade Hybrid hasn’t sacrificed an iota of the luxury and size that make it well-known amongst 6+ foot tall sports stars and their entourages. Nor has the Escalade Hybrid eschewed significantly of its legendary utility 2WD models can still tow 6000 pounds even though 4WD models can tow an impressive 5700 pounds.


That’s not really the abundant 8000/7900 pound towing capacities offered by the 2WD/AWD models powered by the 6.2L Vortec engine, but both of those models eek out a mere 12 MPG in the city.

The Escalade Hybrid pairs an advanced electric-drive program with a contemporary ‘high feature’ V8 capable of running on either eight or four cylinders as the situation demands. This gives the Escalade Hybrid exceptional power when called for, and reasonable economy for city driving. The net result is that Escalade Hybrid owners will not cringe every single time they see a gas station.

A lot of power, excellent looks, and reasonable economy in an iconic American luxury SUV? The Escalade Hybrid pulls it all off although only sacrificing some of its ample towing capacity.
