Cadillac released the full info and tech specs on the 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. The Cadillac Escalade Hybrid uses the exact same 2-Mode hybrid powertrain as both the Yukon and Tahoe hybrids. Unlike its platform cousins, however, the Escalade does not incorporate any weight-saving measures.
According to GM, the use of the hybrid system increases fuel economy by at least 50% anyway. If you figure that the standard 6.2L Escalade is good for 9 or 10 real-world MPG combined, it should be good for at least 18 mpg or so on the highway. If the Escalade really can actually get mileage, it's very impressive.
The car can be on the floor in Miami this week.
