For 2009, Cadillac mates its two-mode hybrid program towards the top-line Escalade Platinum SUV. A 6. 0-liter V-8 ranked at 332 horsepower and also 367 lb. -ft. of torque replaces the 403 horse 6. 2-liter. And also, with a weight north of 7, 000-lbs, the hybrid comes back 20 mpg city, thanks to regenerative braking, stop-start, cylinder deactivation, and also electronically driven aircon and power steering systems. The latter program, Cadillac says, increases gasoline economy up to 0. 5 mpg by decreasing parasitic losses.


With a 7 mpg city gain, the Platinum retains its high-line functions, such as a grille styled after the CTS, 22-in. wheels, magnetic suspension, LED headlights, Aniline leather-upholstered interior, and a DVD entertainment system with monitors in the front-seat headrests. Two- and also four-wheel drive configurations are available.


The hybrid package comes at a $3600 high quality over the regular Platinum. Rear-drive begins at $85, 885 while four-wheel drive comes in at $88, 395.
