Cadillac’s largest sedan, the 2017 CT6 introduces Cadillac’s first plug-in hybrid model following the disappointing ELR. The large CT6 plug-in hybrid is set to rival other electrified plug-in hybrid sedans, like the BMW 740e, Mercedes-Benz S 550e and Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid. We got to take a quick drive in the 2017 Cadillac CT6 plug-in hybrid and here are the five things we learned about the Cadillac’s latest electrified model:
2Two electric motors and a four-cylinder
The CT6 plug-in hybrid features two electric motors and an efficient 2.0L four-cylinder. The two electric motors get their power from an 18.4 kWh lithium-ion battery that sits directly behind the rear seat. The new hybrid system consistently optimizes itself to find the best balance between performance and efficiency, which means that at times it may only use one or two electric motors, the four-cylinder engine or a combination of all three. With all motors powered up, the CT6 plug-in hybrid generates 335 horsepower and 432 lb-ft. of torque.
