Cadillac XTS PHEV Hybrid Concept


Cadillac finally has a flagship to compete with the rest of the world and best of all it will come in a plug-in hybrid version. Using a 3.6 litre V6 paired with a liquid-cooled lithium ion pack like the one in the Chevrolet Volt but with a smaller 8 killowatt-hour capacity. The lower capacity is due to the fact that the electric battery is used to fully power the car only during certain times unlike the Volt. Since the XTS will be a plug-in two-mode hybrid program (PHEV) it will be able to use its charge and blend it with the gas power during high speeds or acceleration. This could almost double the mileage of the XTS and even when it runs out of charge to blend it will still give 50 percent better mileage. So someday soon you can have opulent luxury while paying less money to OPEC.
