General Motors will sell the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid in Europe with an eight-year or 160,000 kilometre (100,000 miles) warranty on specific hybrid components. This is on top of the standard  European bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage of three years or 100,000km (60,000 miles). This warranty is for vehicles officially imported to Europe, registered in Europe – and operated in Europe and there is also free three-year roadside assistance. 

GM said the Escalade Hybrid is the first implementation worldwide of its fuel-saving two-mode hybrid system in a full-size luxury SUV. The hybrid achieves greater than 20% improvement in combined fuel consumption and combined CO2 emissions improvement over the non-hybrid model. Combined average consumption of the Escalade Hybrid is 11.1 l/100 km.

Two-mode hybrid technology can operate the vehicle solely on battery-electric power during idling or low-speed driving situations. The Escalade also incorporates active fuel management technology that enables the Vortec 6.0L V8 engine to operate on only four cylinders in certain driving conditions to save fuel. The Escalade hybrid has permanent all-wheel-drive and is still the only hybrid vehicle in its class.

The warranty coverage extends to repairs to correct any vehicle defect related to materials or workmanship occurring during the eight year or 160,000 km term for hybrid transmission assembly and internal components, including the transmission auxiliary fluid pump, transmission auxiliary pump controller, and three-phase transmission cables, brake modulator assembly, hybrid battery, hybrid high voltage wiring, hybrid control modules and transmission power inverter module.
