16 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday January 3, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com Auto EVERYTHING Continued from Page 15 All-new 2007 Escalade sive power fold-and-tumble secondrow seat that eases access to the thirdrow seat, and the standard powerassisted rear liftgate. Under the hood is a new 6.2L V-8 rated at 403 horsepower and 417 lb.-ft. of torque. That's a significant improvement over the 345 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque in the old 6.0L engine. The new all-aluminum 6.2L engine uses variable valve timing (VVT) to improve low-rpm torque and high-rpm horsepower. This is the industry's first application of VVT on a mass-produced V-8 overhead-valve engine. In Canada, the Escalade comes only in AWD form and a new Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission is matched with the 6.2L engine. The tranny was designed with a wide, 6.04:1 overall ratio - including two overdrive gears - to deliver a balance of performance and fuel economy. And, while we're on the subject, the Escalade is officially rated at 17.7L/10.8L/100km (city/hwy). Pretty close to my results too and better than the HUMMER cousin that doesn't even bother listing fuel econo numbers anymore. But while upscale Escalade customers probably come with a little 'let éem eat cake' attitude, if GM would lead instead of follow when it comes to multi-displacement, hybrid or diesel alternatives, it might save some discomfort in the dirty-look department. What a strange evolution it's been for premium sport utes. Truck-based SUVs absorbed into luxury lineups. Originally appealing with their contrasting blends of opposing ends - basic all-weather utility and sumptuous comforts. And then gradually leaning more to the luxury side, shedding offroad ability for street cred and baubles. But if we put aside attitude and intangilbles, forget that these landbound yachts are more toys than they are trucks and just look at the big picture, and I mean BIG picture, how do we classify the 2007 Cadillac Escalade? As a combination of those two extremes ñ truck toughness and sedan sensibilities. As a culmination of luxo largesse with a big cabin, big seats, big performance and all the amenities and entertainments one could ask for in stretch-out comfort and style. And in a style that is distinctly Cadillac. navigation system with rear back-up camera, DVD entertainment with a large eight-inch flip-down screen and segment-first Bose 5.1 Discrete Digital Surround Sound system integrated into the new family of radios that play DVD audio/video, CD audio/video, MP3s and XM Satellite Radio. GM Canada offers the XM Satellite Radio standard in the Escalade with a three trial month period before service fees apply.
