2010 Cadillac Escalade with a V8 engine

One of the best selling large luxury SUVs each year is the Cadillac Escalade

. Reviewers are in awe of the Escalade's raw power, handling, and smooth ride. Like most years, the 2010 Cadillac Escalade comes with a very powerful engine. The 2010 Escalade comes standard with a 6.2 liter, eight cylinder engine which is coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission.

The engine within the Escalade is identical to the GMC Denali engine, except the Escalade's engine has been slightly tweaked to get more horsepower and better fuel efficiency. The Escalade gets up to 403 horsepower at 5,700 revolutions per minute. Torque is estimated at 417 pound feet at 4,300 revolutions per minute.

A new feature in the 2010 Cadillac Escalade is cylinder deactivation. Cylinder deactivation is a fuel saving technology which automatically shuts down four of the eight cylinders in the Escalade's engine when they are not needed. Therefore in situations when the Escalade is idling, or on cruise control only half the engine is burning fuel, which helps save on the amount of fuel being burned. With that said, the 2010 Cadillac Escalade gets an estimated fuel economy rate of 16 mpg.

The 2010 Cadillac comes in four different trims, all of which use the 6.2 liter engine and have all wheel drive. The engine within the 2010 Cadillac Escalade is similar to the 2009 Escalade's engine. The main difference between the engines is the cylinder deactivation, which improved fuel efficiency from about 14 mpg up to 16 mpg. The 2009 Escalade was also available with 2 wheel drive, which helped improve fuel efficiency.The 2010 Escalade comes standard with a 6.2 liter, eight cylinder engine which is coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission.
