Cadillac has launched the 2009 Escalade Platinum Hybrid, the most technically advanced large luxury SUV yet, blending the exclusive features of the Platinum model with the fuel-saving powertrain of the Escalade Hybrid.

It delivers 20 mpg in city driving – a 50-percent city mileage improvement over non-hybrid models.

General Motors, Cadillac’s parent company, recently declared bankruptcy. While that leads to some uncertainty for Cadillac buyers (though warranties should e honored), it also means some steep discounts for people who can handle the unknown and negotiate hard.

General Motors is planning to put the Cadillac Converj into production.

Apparently, the production version of the Cadillac Converj will be a hybrid model, powered by an electric motor developing more than 150 hp and 370 Nm of torque and a 1.4-liter petrol engine.

However, the petrol engine will not be used to actually power the Cadillac Converj, but to re-charge the battery need for the electric motor.

The same sources say the production version of the Cadillac Converj will be able to run only on electricity for around 60 km on fully charged battery.

Although this information has not been officially confirmed, a production version of the Cadillac Converj is very likely.
