The American luxury SUV of choice, the Cadillac Escalade Chicago Luxury SUV rentals, re-invented itself and went green with the launch of the Hybrid version. Taking cues from its gas-guzzling big brother, the Hybrid follows many of the same patterns the Escalade used to become one of the best selling SUV’s of all time in the United States.
Don’t expect any great sympathy from tree huggers just yet though; the Escalade Hybrid still uses a gallon of gas every 12-14 miles. With all the technology, comfort, and performance expected from an Escalade the hybrid is what some might call an imposter or pretender. A Prius it is not, but it does save fuel while still providing everything one would associate with the Cadillac brand. Available as a 4x2 or 4x4, the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid system saves energy by using an electrically variable transmission, an energy storage system, and a 332-hp, V8 engine.
The price tag on the hybrid is going to cost you about $6,000 more than the gas version. At the end of the day, the Hybrid is going to provide everything we all love in the Escalade SUV rental with a slightly less carbon footprint size. Be nice to the environment Chicagoans and get behind the wheel of a luxury hybrid SUV rental today. Every little bit helps good old planet earth.
