Everyone has seen the Cadillac Escalade on the road. With it's imposing tough look and chrome accents, this is the luxury SUV to be seen in. This car has made many appearances in popular music videos and many celebs are also big fans and drive an Escalade including; Anna Kournikova, Travis Barker, Justin Timberlake and many pro-athletes. This car is perfect for making an entrance at the most expensive restaurant in town, but it's still perfect for use as an everyday vehicle. It's hard to believe that there could be anything better than an Escalade but now there is; it's the 2010 Hybrid Escalade. Now you get all the style with a hybrid powertrain.
The hybrid's engine is fueled by a 6.0 L V8 Engine and a 300 volt battery pack powers the electricity. They both combine for a total output of 332 HP and 367 lb ft of torque. This big car gets 21 mpg on the freeway and 20 mpg in the city, which is really good compared to the regular Escalade's mileage of just 12 mpg in the city. The powertrain allows the SUV to travel up to 25 mph by using the battery power alone. The Active Fuel Management System enables the V8 engine to run like a V4 and as a result the car is much more fuel efficient. Accelerating is so easy and smooth in this car despite its huge size.

You don't have to worry about passenger space with this big car; it seats eight people with ease. There are many amenities inside to make your ride as comfortable as possible including tri-zone climate control, a touch screen navigation system with turn by turn directions, an incredible Bose stereo and CD changer, sweet looking 22" chrome wheels, and a sunroof. Luxurious leather covers the seats and the driver seat features memory setting and is power adjustable. There is a Escalade Platinum Edition Hybrid trim available at an additional cost which includes special headlights, cup holders which can be cooled and heated, a heated steering wheel plus video monitors installed in the back of the front headrests perfect for enjoying movies and DVD's.

In terms of safety features, this car boasts a stability control system which has the ability to apply brakes selectively and prevent rollovers. There is also a four wheel anti-lock braking system, advanced disc brakes, On Star Emergency Services, side curtain airbags, side chest airbags and a tire pressure monitoring system that lets you known when your tires need to be adjusted. During government crash safety tests this SUV earned 5 star ratings for the protection of the front passengers.

This car doesn't come cheap at a base price of $73,000 around but keep in mind that it doesn't get much better than the Escalade when it comes to luxury and cool-factor. You will be driving one of the most coveted cars on the road.

Nothing says extravagance and luxury like an Escalade. It is one of the trendiest and most popular SUV's on the market and incredibly popular with many celebrities and pro-athletes.
