Cadillac Escalade - 2008

June 6th, 2008 by Shenron

When it comes to luxury SUVs, few are as popular and as well thought of as the Cadillac Escalade. The Escalade combines the high quality features that have been a signature factor in the popularity of the Cadillac with the all-terrain capability of an SUV. Anyone carrying a large number of people, adults and children alike, who doesn’t want to give up on their desires to travel in style need look no further than the Cadillac Escalade in their search for an automobile that meets their every need.

The Cadillac Escalade was introduced in 1999 as Cadillac’s answer to the Ford Motor Company’s Lincoln Navigator. The Escalade was popular with celebrities and the wealthy from the day it was released. There seems to be no limit to the amount of accessories available for the Escalade, many of them are manufactured by companies independent of Cadillac and many are only available through the Cadillac company itself. The 2008 Cadillac Escalade picks up the luxury SUV torch and carries it on into the future, representing very well the legendary name of Cadillac.

the 2008 Cadillac Escalade comes armed with a 6.2 liter V-8 engine which throws out a very robust 403 horsepower. The six-speed automatic transmission successfully propels the Escalade down the road and the shifting is almost unnoticeable. The Escalade is head-to-toe covered in polish and shine on the interior, but don’t be deceived as under the hood the Escalade is all about pure raw power. As powerful as it is, there is also the option of getting a 2008 Escalade Hybrid which features a 25 percent increase in fuel efficiency over the standard model. It is able to achieve this through the use of two independent electric motors that assist the vehicle under slower moving traffic and normal city driving situations.

Some of the many options available for the 2008 Cadillac Escalade are things like: satellite navigation, rear view live image cameras, 52.8cm rims, dual zone climate control, headrest mounted DVD screens, and Ipod/MP3 compatible surround sound stereos. One of the things to keep an eye out for in the future of Cadillac Escalades is the use of what is known as Smart Engine technology that will reduce the number of operational cylinders based on the performance needs of the vehicle at the time, saving engine wear and fuel at the same time.

The Cadillac Escalade is known for its luxury features and flashy appearance. Many high profile people travel regularly in a Cadillac Escalade, but the Escalade is more than that. The Escalade combines a great amount of power with the top of the line comfort and quality that Cadillac has been known for since its debut to bring to the public a four wheel drive vehicle that can comfortably carry the whole family or group wherever they need to go. The company has even taken steps to increase fuel efficiency with a more environmentally friendly version of the same vehicle available. Truly one of the finest automobiles on the market today.
