2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid review

Cadillac launched the Hybrid 2009 version of their Escalade in International market.The New 2009 Cadillac Escalade, available in two models the base and Platinum Edition, with 6.2-liter V-8 engine, is able to run on E85 ethanol. New Features included for 2009 Escalade Hybrid are an optional side blind-zone alert system, XM satellite radio with NavTraffic, power-tilting steering wheel, and other features.

The Escalade Hybrid is powered by the combination of the 6.0-liter V-8 engine with cylinder-deactivation technology and the patented GM 2-mode hybrid system. The Hybrid can tow up to 5800 pounds in two-wheel drive (2WD) and 5600 pounds in all-wheel drive (AWD).

The 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid, with its Vortec 6.0-liter engine and cylinder-deactivation technology, delivers 332 hp at 5100 rpm and 367 lb.-ft. of torque at 4100 rpm. The engine’s higher gasoline fuel economy is achieved with the Auto Stop mode when the vehicle reaches 0 mph, which allows the SUV to move only under electric power (an energy-saver and emissions-reducer in heavy stop-and-go traffic). The engine is paired with the patented advanced GM 2-mode hybrid technology that consists of an advanced electrically variable transmission, or EVT, and 300-volt nickel-metal hydride Energy Storage System (ESS). Regenerative braking captures energy that would otherwise be lost and converts it to electrical energy stored in the ESS for future use to propel the Escalade. Electrically driven, 42-volt variable-assist power steering also provides up to a 0.5-mpg fuel economy savings while reducing vibration, maker says. EPA fuel-economy estimates for the 2009 Escalade Hybrid are 20 mpg city/21 mpg highway in 2WD.
