2009 Cadillac Escalade
This isn't a Cadillac from Your Grandma's Generation, This is a Cadillac that is Reshaping the Way People Think about SUVs
Cadillac has outdown itself again with the new 2009 Escalade. You'll find features on this car that are so revolutionary, so forward-thinking, so smart that they make all other cars pale in comparison. Escalade is the model that remade Cadillac's image, and in 2009 it's still revamping Cadillac's image.
Where should we begin? There are so many great features to choose from. Let's start by talking about all of the new Escalade's awesome safety features. The dual stage front airbags are equipped with Passenger Sensing System, which means that your Escalade can detect when a child is sitting in your front seat and stop the deployment of a right frontal airbag in the case of an accident. In addition, the new Escalade has head curtain side-impact air bags in the first, second, and third row outboard seating positions. These air bags are designed to protect passengers from head and neck injuries. Each '09 Escalade also comes standard with StabilTrak, a vehicle stability enhancement system that monitors the vehicle's speed, steering wheel, wheel traction and throttle positions and can actually sense an impending loss of control and react accordingly by applying brake force to the appropriate wheels. And we're not finished yet, because each new '09 Escalade also comes standard with 1 year of OnStar, which provides GPS navigation and connection to emergency assistance. You knew Escalades were cool, now you know how safe they are!
Now that we've talked about safety it's time that we move onto a topic that's even more appealing-- all of the convenience and comfort features. Each new Escalade comes equipped with XM NavTraffic, which enhances your vehicle's GPS system by showing real-time traffic data when it's needed most. The system displays various traffic impacting incidents such as construction, road closures, accidents and disabled vehicles so that you can take an alternative route to get to your destination quicker. You'll really be able to relax on long drives with the seating that the new Escalade offers. Each 2009 Escalade comes with front leather seats that are power adjustable 14 different ways with heated seat cushions and 2-position driver memory. The second and third row seating positions aren't bad either. The second row has leather heated bucket seats as well that are reclinable and have fold down armrests. The third row is a 50/50 split bench with leather-appoint seating that can be tumbled forward or totally removed to give you extra storage space. In the tradition of Cadillac you just keep getting more. Each '09 Escalade comes with Bluetooth connectivity for your cell phone, which connects it to your vehicle's audio system and Human Machine Interface. You'll also enjoy your new Universal Home Remote which can control gates, lights and garage doors while you're still in your car. And of course, each new Escalade comes with electronic cruise control with set and resume speed.
In Escalade fashion the audio system on the new '09 is the best you can get in todays market and probably tomorrow's too. It incorporates Bose 5.1 Cabin Surround Sound system with 10 speakers, an AM/FM/XM stereo, full-feature touch screen DVD-integrated navigation, Radio Data System, voice recognition, Digital Signal Processing, a slot for a DVD map disc and another for a 6-disc DVD changer that plays CDs and MP3s as well. In addition you'll also find audio controls on the steering wheel to easily control all of your music.
As far as exterior standard equippment goes, the Escalade has everything you'd expect from an SUV that stands for everything American. It has chrome door handles, halogen fog lamps, High-Intensity-Discharge headlamps with Twilight sentinel and flash-to-pass feature, outside heated, power-adjustable, power folding mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators and a roof mounted luggage rack. The outside mirrors are also programmable to provide curb view when in reverse. Each new Escalade also comes with Ultrasonic parking assist, which gives you a virtual view of stationary opjects behind your car and tells you how far away you are from them.
Not only is the Escalade the most luxurious SUV on the market, it's also the most powerful with a 403 horsepower V8 that can get you from 0 to 60 in under 9 seconds. The transmission is 6-speed automatic. You'll also be able to navigate uneven or steep terrain with the Escalad's front independent suspension and all-speed traction control.
