2011 Escalade Hybrid Review
The 2011 Escalade Hybrid is a full-sized luxury SUV that seats eight and is offered in two trim levels.
The Escalade Hybrid has a classic "Cadillac interior" with leather upholstery, a navigation system, memory driver’s seat, and rear seat video entertainment. Front seats are heated, ventilated and power-adjusted. As would be expected, the hybrid scored well above others in its class in fuel economy.
On the pro side, the "2011 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid" has well-designed controls, and plenty of passenger room, both for the legs and head, along with ample cargo space. On the con side, the Escalade Hybrid is not very quiet, and the 22 inch wheels and high vehicle weight limit the ride quality.
The hybrid provides Cadillac luxury but with fuel economy and a respectable price tag. As a value within its class of large SUVs, the 2011 Escalade Hybrid was rated by Consumer Guide at 7 compared to a class average of 5.4.
