Safety

Cadillac has included some of the latest safety features in the Escalade Hybrid. It has traction control and stability control to make sure all four wheels are doing their jobs. Its four-disc antilock brakes are powerful enough to bring this beast to a stop when you need to.

Bi-xenon headlights illuminate the road ahead, and a blind spot warning system helps you be aware of what’s around you. A backup camera and rear sensors warn you about objects or people that are behind the SUV, and they help to greatly improve this SUV’s not-so-great visibility. The Escalade Hybrid’s wipers come on automatically when they sense rain and have heated washer fluid to keep the windshield clear in the iciest weather.

The Escalade Hybrid has front-impact airbags for the front passengers and side curtain airbags for all three rows of seats. However, it doesn’t have side-impact airbags, which is something we’d like Cadillac to improve upon.

FAMILY LIFESTAGE

In Diapers: Easily accessible Latch connectors and wide seating makes it easy to install child-safety seats.
In School: Running boards make it easy for kids to climb in, but floppy seat belts provide challenges inside.
Teens: It’s got a coolness factor of 10.
