In the United States is increasingly popular among the glamorous people, in music videos and TV series in Italy is less known but fascinating motorists Yankee spirit. We are talking about the Cadillac Escalade, one of the most impressive SUV on the market. To meet the needs of European consumers, and to be compatible with the increasingly stringent emissions regulations, this mammoth vehicle is on the market with one version simply called Hybrid.
A name which alone explains the particularity of this model. This is an extra large SUV that combines the technology to traditional power dipropulsione following the Japanese example diToyota, Honda and Lexus. For the first time, therefore, a hybrid system is on board a full-size SUV available in dealerships.
The line is one of the Escalade "classic" with an imposing front, a solid side and a generous rear. Typically the great American front grille which gives the car great personality and immediately identifies as a Cadillac. Stand out wherever references to hybrid with different "H" scattered on the generous body of the car: in particular, a writing stands on important dimensions Hybrid front wheel arches.
Chrome effect round the set and make the Escalade hybrid car typically American. The side stand the huge 22-inch wheels reflect light in all directions, while the large tinted windows in the sides and rear view help to keep that aspect of the mysterious SUV found in films from overseas.
The interior of the Escalade is huge and that of the Hybrid is no exception, configured to carry eight people, this SUV has some autentichepoltrone and offers a sense of "visual dominance" unknown to most competitors. Compared to her sister "conventional" presents an indicator which continuously informs the driver on the conduct of its eco-driving and Driver Information Center, which provides a continuous display of the state of the vehicle.
Typically, the stars and stripes the dashboard of the car that offers OneLevel finishing still far from standard European competitors. This does not mean that you have not thought about the comfort, the seats are supermolleggiate and speaker Bose audio system with a guarantee. Spacious as a commercial vehicle, the Escalade has a boot capacity that varies according to the rows of seats used: with the three rows is 98, with two rows of 478 is l, while using only the first row of seats, 1707 is well l.
Those who expect the typical grumbling of American V8 is disappointed when you start the Escalade Hybrid, once started, this extra-large SUV does not emit a breath. Yet, when pressed on the accelerator begins to move in total silence on the two-mode hybrid system consists of an electric variable transmission (EVT) and an energy storage system (ESS) 300-volt nickel-metal hydride batteries that work in consistent with the standard gasoline engine from 6.0 liters.
The Cadillac quietly gathering speed, and only later, into action by its powerful V8 sounds typical Yankee. Especially suited to motorway trips with family in tow, the Escalde Hybrid with its light steering moves easily even in city traffic, however, its generous size (we're talking with a length of 5 meters) can cause difficulties.
Fortunately, the driver can count on the camera back, but the maneuvers are never too easy. Paradoxically, it is in city driving the Escalade from the heart of ecological smile thanks to its driver, a reduced consumption by almost 50% compared to the traditional sister. The House declares a consumption of 11.6 litres/100 km compared to 20 l/100 km of the conventional Escalade.
An important result, which is accompanied by a significant reduction of CO2 per kilometer traveled increased from 339 g / km to 264 g / km. Everything is paid on the performance front, with a significant increase in acceleration in step away: zero-percent is covered in 8.4 to 6.7 seconds secondirispetto Escalade Classic.
A fact negligible compared to the savings made on fuel consumption and reduction of urban pollution. With the steering disinclined to conduct a lively and impressive mass, than the 3,000 kg of thrust, the Escalde Hybrid, but relies on the buoyancy of the magnetic suspension control and contribution of permanent four wheel drive AWD, which segments torque between the front and rear axles, it prefers a tourist guide, relaxed, without too much weight transfer.
If asked to fund the car body felt all its weight and the steering takes some delay to issue the necessary corrections. Better to travel using the docile pair of 337 hp and 495 Nm delivered by 6-liter V8, so we appreciate the many equipment such as tri-zone climate control that works even when the conventional engine is off and the audio system with 10 speakers .
Equipped with a system that turns off the engine when the car is stationary and automatically switches to electric mode, the green heart of the Escalade has a set of batteries guaranteed for 8 years or 160,934 km. Exclusive features and as few, the Escalade, strictly automatic, and with hybrid technology, is not really a car cheap and requires an outlay of € 85,695, nearly 8,000 more than the € Escalade Sport Luxury, but the ecological baggage now is a must which is hard to give up in that price range.
And perhaps especially for a vehicle like the Escalade.
