Part 1: Introduction

Cadillac, one of the oldest luxury vehicle manufacturers in America presents the 2012 Escalade Hybrid SUV. This vehicle has improved mileage with reduced carbon dioxide emissions, making it an excellent choice for green consumers. Furthermore, the Escalade Hybrid uses two kinds of power; electricity produced by electric motors and the power generated by the gas engine. It has an EPA approximated 23 MPG on highways and 20 MPG in the city, making it the greatest fuel optimized vehicle in its segment. Also, its appointed with advanced features exclusive to its class such as the Magnetic Ride Control, which is the vehicle suspension control that provides assistance during quick maneuvers; also reducing noise and vibration, producing a smoother driving experience.

These vehicles also have automatic front and rear balance control keeping the vehicle level especially when passengers and goods are on board. Also, Escalade Hybrid SUVs contain all the luxurious perks of its pedigree. It can accommodate 8 persons and is outfitted with 14-way adjustable leather seats, which are fitted for an affluent ride with the seams stitched using French techniques. These seats can be heated or cooled according to personal preferences. It also has the most lavish entertainment system including the flip down screen measuring 8 inches.

Moving forward, Escalade Hybrid also comes with a very strong 403 HP 6.2L V8 engine making it a powerful vehicle. Price ranges from $63,000 up to $83,000 making it a luxury, but it is worth the price. If compared with other vehicles, the 2012 Escalade Hybrid is far more expensive because it is one of the very few hybrid SUV's with power train systems that allow the vehicle to have two sources of power as mentioned above. But if you are a little out of budget, similar vehicles such as Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid, GMC Yukon Hybrid are two among the large SUV family that are more affordable. Thus, the Escalade Hybrid is really the vehicle to beat, but some may hesitate because of the price.
