Having earned a position as the image and sales leader among large luxury SUVs, Cadillac Escalade enters 2008 looking to extend its considerable momentum. With three body styles -- Escalade, and the extended length Escalade ESV and EXT luxury sport-utility truck -- Cadillac offers the widest array of models in the segment.
Completely redesigned for 2007, the 2008 Escalades feature integrated powertrain, chassis, safety and interior systems that deliver the most powerful, efficient luxury SUVs in the segment, led by a 6.2-liter all-aluminum V-8 engine with variable valve timing technology delivering 403 horsepower and 417 lb.-ft. of torque. The Escalade and Escalade ESV are available in AWD and 2WD configurations (2WD is new to Escalade ESV for '08), while the Escalade EXT sport-utility truck features standard, full-time AWD.
The Cadillac Escalade sports a sleek, clean and athletic form with improved aerodynamics. It is instantly identifiable as a Cadillac and incorporates styling cues from Cadillac's landmark Sixteen concept vehicle, including a detailed signature grille, front fender vent ports and layers of chrome accents.
The Escalade Hybrid will feature GM's 2-Mode hybrid propulsion system combining gas and electric engines for significant fuel economy improvements, while maintaining the traditional capabilities of a full-size SUV.
