There is also a version with the old 210-horsepower "six" and all-wheel drive CTS 3.6 with a "razdatkoy" BorgWarner. The average fuel consumption is about 17.6 liters per 100 km. I can’t even believe that this is the Cadillac, the favorite car of the legendary Elvis Presley.

PART TWO. CADILLAC ESCALADE PLATINUM
This is a real magnet for onlookers and off-road enthusiasts. He will even force a blind man to turn after him, such is his aura. They dream of him, he dreams, they idolize him. Such fans are destined for the new limited version of the Platinum Edition. Already by the name it is easy to understand that such an Escalade is clearly cooler than usual. Indeed, new LED headlights, huge chrome 22-inch wheels, a suspension with Magnetic Ride Control system and, of course, special nameplates, distinguish the owner of the Cadillac Escalade Platinum from the "losers" on simple Escalade. The chrome-plated radiator grill blends seamlessly with the massive front bumper.
Inside, everything is much more modest. The main difference is only in the seats, all kinds of handles and the front panel, hand-finished with expensive leather. Wooden and aluminum inserts are also attached by human hands, and not by the tentacles of a soulless robot. All this, coupled with a sophisticated multimedia system with a huge number of speakers, raises the price of the Escalade special version to a new height. On which is still unknown. So far, only snorting with its 6.2-liter V8, she proudly rushes along roads and rough terrain. Fuel consumption, however, is high - 19.6 liters per 100 km, but while gasoline is inexpensive in the Emirates, many motorists do not pay attention to such "trifles".
Be that as it may, after the Platinum Edition on sale in many markets, including in the UAE, a hybrid version of the Escalade appeared. Under the hood of the hybrid, a 6-liter V8 was flattened, which could easily turn into a V4. For the sake of fuel economy, this SUV is "trained" to shut off half the cylinders. The result of the operation was a decrease in gas mileage from an average of 19.6 to 13 liters. Thus, the appetite of the 3.4-ton SUV is getting a little larger than that of the tiny Daewoo Matiz.
A small contribution to saving the world's oil reserves is also made by the electric power steering and EVT variator. Cadillac Escalade Platinum is crowned by a number of "platinum" cars, which includes roadsters XLR, DTS, and STS sedans.
