2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid Platinum Edition 4dr SUV 4WD (6.0L 8cyl gas/electric hybrid 4A)
Review
Great SUV, even though it is a Hybrid the power is considerable. When comparing to other vehicles such as the Range Rover and GL550, they just don't match up for the features and the price. My wife uses this vehicle and it is perfect for our family.
Favorite Features
Hybrid technology, Bluetooth, LED headlamps, Platinum Edition Upgrades, Wheels, blind spot detection, rear camera
Suggested Improvements
Add Ipod Port, other than that, it has everything
Swag!

Review
I'll cut to the chase: 18 MPG AVG for me, iPhone 3G pairs easily and Bluetooth works great; kids can watch and listen to movie with included Bluetooth headphones - while parents listen to 6-disc CDs/XM; rear console A/V jacks keeps cable out of sight when hooking up to iPhone or 111 game Nintendo knock-off or PSP; exterior styling says, "yeah, I gettin moneh" as well as prompts jealous onlookers. I own a Prius and used to buy japanese cars exclusively - but not anymore! I'm 33 y/o and I rock (and I thank God/Allah/Yaweh - whoever is responsible for giving me what I have - if he/she really exists).
Favorite Features
Section 179 business vehicle deduction!
Suggested Improvements
NEED SmartKey entry and push button starting to earn a 10! This is the ultimate convenience - unlocking/locking and starting the car - without taking the keys out of my pocket. My base Prius has it - but not my Escalade :(

Review
I traded in a 2007 Tahoe for the Escalade and so far I am very impressed with the performance. You step on the gas and the performance is much better than I was expecting from a hybrid. I am getting 20.7 MPG combined City/Highway driving with mildly conservative driving habits.The fit and finish is what you would expect from Cadillac and is fun to drive.

The third row seating should retract in to the floor like competitive models.

Review
Enjoy the car a lot. We traded in a Volvo XC-90 and enjoy an increase of about 5 mpg and (more important to the wife) an increase of about a 200 miles between fill-ups. The Escalade has performed flawlessly and the tight turning radius makes it easy to park. The magnetic ride control easily makes this the best riding vehicle I have ever owned.
Favorite Features
Back up camera, overall comfort level, and the quietness of the Escalade
Suggested Improvements
Rear seats are a bit of a pain to take in and out but I would not trade a smaller gas tank fo them to fold flat

Review
This is my third Escalade. Hybrid is very quiet. The 2007 was really loud. Very smooth acceleration. Ride is 75% better than 2007 vehicle. The bluetooth is great to have although should have been available on the 2007. Hybrid gets 18-19 on average which for me is acceptable. Love the vehicle. Do not drive like a full size sport utility. Best large SUV on the road. Have driven it 4K miles. Flawless.
Favorite Features
Bluetooth, hybrid engine. Everything else is about the same as the 2007 Cadillac.
Suggested Improvements
Folding third row seat.

Review
It is pretty SUV with a nice drive. I love the hybrid. The driver can not listen to CD player when the children using the DVD? The Bluetooth system is not very good. It does not pull up contact list, does not allow you to use the car keypad number, and there is difficulty pairing the 3G i Phone from apple
Favorite Features
The hybrid
Suggested Improvements
The driver should be able to use the CD player while children using headset with the DVD use. Improving the Blutooth system to pull up contact list from cell phone, be able to use the keypad number in the car and be able to pair 3 G i Phone

Review
Had it for a week. My wife's vehicle. She Loves it. Tim, the owner of the Dealership, explained and oriented the vehicle for 45 minutes with my wife. She was very Impressed with the vehicle and the time put in to explain everything by Tim. We traded a Lexus LX-470 in on it. Got tired of 12.8 mpg and Premium Gas prices. The Cadillac gets 23-25 mpg in real world setting and uses regular gas. The build quality is equal to Lexus. Finally, Hats off to an American Vehicles
