Cadillac CT6 Plug-In Hybrid: Shanghai Surprise
For sedans, which have lost market share to SUVs, electrified power trains are a route to continued relevance—and sales in China, where the government is aggressively incentivizing electric cars. Built in Shanghai, this spacious, slick-handling Caddy can travel 31 miles on electricity alone, more than double the electric range of competitors from BMW and Mercedes. The CT6 combines a gasoline turbo four; a conjoined pair of 100-hp electric motors; and a lithium-ion battery whose chemistry is shared with the Chevy Bolt EV. Total output is 335 horses, and the CT6 is a near-silent delight to drive. That includes a dizzying range of standard technologies and creature comforts, from semiautonomous driving and night vision to rear-seat infotainment screens.
