Safety - What the Auto Press Says

The Cadillac Escalade Hybrid earns excellent scores in government crash tests. The Escalade Hybrid earns five out of five stars for driver and front and rear passenger protection in both front and side-impact crash tests. The Escalade Hybrid receives a three-star rollover rating for both two and four-wheel drive models. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety has not rated the Hybrid or conventional Escalade.

Reviewers are impressed with the high-tech safety features on the Escalade Hybrid. The SUV boasts a full complement of airbags, stability control, a parking system and a blind-spot alert system.

• "Of particular benefit is the blind-spot detection system, which lights up a signal in the side mirror if a smaller car in the next lane slips below the Escalade's high sight lines. . .  The rear-view camera in the Escalade Hybrid uses GM's latest technology, which puts a hazard icon on the screen over any objects that are particularly close to the car. There is also sonar, which sounds a warning as you get closer to objects. Given the size of the truck, the parking system is a welcome addition." -- CNET
• "I am thankful for the side blind zone alert system which kept me from crunching into any smaller cars along our journey." -- NADA Guides
