2009 Cadillac Escalade 4WD Hybrid - Cadillac Fullsize Luxury SUV Hybrid Review - Automobile Magazine
When it comes to its traditional strengths - power, utility, and in-your-face luxury - the Escalade is better than ever.

The GMC seemed quite apt to slip into EV mode, while the Caddy was all too eager to fire up its 6.0-liter V-8.
