Cadillac Escalade Hybrid Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
I’ve always been fascinated by the Escalade whenever I see one on the streets. However, I’m wondering if there’s an Escalade hybrid, is there one? I’m sure the people in Texas would love to see more of these driving down the street than purely gasoline-fed models.

Good day, Owen! I am in complete agreement with your statement regarding having more hybrids around our state. Let there be more Escalade Hybrids in Texas. Lesser emissions mean clean air and a better environment for the generation that will follow us.
After I first read about the Cadillac Escalade, I already appreciated its features as an SUV. That was until I found more about the Escalade Hybrid. The Escalade Hybrid maintains pure SUV power characteristics, as Cadillac claims it can still tow 5,800 pounds. After all, it still has a 332 hp 6.0 liter V8 engine that kicks up 367 lbs-ft torque at 4,100 rpm. I agree with the Cadillac people. These things you won’t expect from a hybrid. I am also fascinated with the technology applied on the Escalade Hybrid. There’s regenerative braking, a system that charges up the battery. There are two electric motors that run the car in low power situations and when more power is needed the gasoline engine helps the car move along. And when real muscle is needed, the car automatically switches itself to pure gasoline engine mode. When it’s at a full stop, the gas engine shuts off to limit emissions. With these systems in place, the Escalade Hybrid’s EPA ratings reach up to 20 to 21 miles per gallon on city and highway drives, respectively.
Cadillac Escalade Dealer Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
Escalade, Escalade, Escalade. Would driving this car give me more “street cred” here in Houston, Texas?

Why, Frankie, the Escalade will give you more than “street cred” in Houston, Texas. The Escalade is definitely more than just a souped-up Tahoe. That’s why you see the car in a lot of movies. Before you go to a Cadillac dealer, let’s go beyond the bling, alright?
If we talk about the 2009 model, I’m particularly excited about the Escalade hybrid that can do about 20 miles per gallon. Considering that this thing is an SUV that packs a 6.0 Liter V8, that is definitely worth looking at. Safety features are also important to me, and Cadillac put in a lot of really good features like OnStar. With the OnStar system, you will be sure that you have protection even in cases of emergencies. If you get into a super fender bender, the emergency response system on OnStar gets you 911-like assistance right from your car. Of course, the Escalade comes with all the necessary airbags. You’ll also get a voice-activated phone system in your car; that’s already doing a lot in terms of safety on the road. For luxury, I think the 5.1 surround sound system should be enough to let you know how delightful driving can be when you are inside an Escalade. I think these should be more than enough than “street cred.”
Have fun driving the Escalade, Frankie.
2009 Cadillac Escalade Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
I finally got my last paycheck from my employer and I already have enough funds to get the Cadillac Escalade here in Houston, Texas. Can you give me brief description of the Cadillac Escalade and when would it be available in the market?

According to recent buzz around automotive community in Houston, Texas, the 2009 Cadillac Escalade will go on sale this summer. It would be available with the rear or 4wheel drive. The Escalade won’t be offered on the long wheel base (Escalade ESV or Escalade EXT) sports utility truck. It would only be offered with the standard length. The Cadillac Escalade has a two mode hybrid system which works very well with the Vortec 6.0 V8 with the company’s new Electrically Variable Transmission (EVT) in which it is equipped with 2 electric motors and 4 fixed gears. The V8 engine also has Active Fuel Management system, which stops the 4 cylinders during light load driving to conserve fuel and energy. The 2 modes comprise mainly of hybrid power train aids, during light and highway driving.
I was able to do a test drive on the Escalade sometime last month and was really impressed about how it was packaged. It guarantees a 50% increase in terms of fuel economy when I drove it around Houston, Texas and at least a 25% increase overall. With light throttle, it can go up to 30 mph and automatically shuts down the engine during stops to conserve fuel. Although I have not seen the fuel economy estimates yet, I still give my recommendation to the new Cadillac Escalade. I have seen it being sold at more or less than $60,000. Insure it up with a reliable insurance coverage. Check some ads on this page for free quotations.

Cadillac dealer in Houston
I needed an SUV, but not one of this annoying tin SUVs that are all over the market these days. I needed a big, powerful SUV, so I checked out my Cadillac dealer in Houston and found the 2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV, which perfectly fit my desires.
The engine isn’t afraid to run with more power than the usual, it’s a really well performing V8. This SUV from my Cadillac dealer in Houston is so big that it fits nine people and still has plenty of room for luggage and other things that you need to put in your car. It turns tight on corners and rides safe and silent on the highways as well as in the city.
