It’s no secret that hybrid vehicle sales have been rising in recent years. With climate change being a major international concern, car buyers are increasingly turning to hybrids for their eco-friendly designs and fuel efficiency. In response to this shift, luxury automakers such as Lexus and Volvo are developing a new generation of hybrids that’ll give you a clean ride while retaining many benefits of traditional combustion engine vehicles. In this article, our team at Turan Foley Cadillac explores Cadillac’s stance on hybrids and the models you can expect to find on our lot.
Cadillac’s Approach to Hybrids
American luxury auto manufacturer Cadillac has been at the forefront of envelope-pushing auto design and manufacturing for well over a century. For this reason, it may surprise you that the brand doesn’t offer hybrids in its current lineup. However, this wasn’t always the case, as Cadillac has produced several highly successful hybrids in the past.
The last hybrid to roll out the company’s production lines was the 2016 Cadillac ELR. This luxury coupe featured a hybrid setup comprising a 1.4-liter inline-four gas engine and an electric motor. The setup produced a remarkable 233 horsepower and 373 lb-ft of torque. It also delivered an impressive all-electric range of 39 miles and a fuel efficiency rating of 85 MPGe.
Another notable offering by Cadillac that dominated the luxury hybrid market in the early to mid-2010s was the Escalade Hybrid, produced from 2009 to 2013. The model came with a hybrid powertrain that combined a 6.0-liter V-8 engine with a battery pack and a pair of electric motors. This hybrid setup generated a combined output of 379 horsepower and 367 lb-ft of torque. This hybrid received EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 20 mpg in the city, 23 mpg on the highway, and 21 mpg combined.
Despite the success of these Cadillac hybrid models, the luxury brand transitioned away from hybrids after the release of the 2016 ELR, shifting its focus to developing fully battery-powered vehicles. This move is part of a broader goal to have a fully electric lineup by 2030. While the company has confirmed that it’ll continue to offer internal combustion engine models as long as demand persists, it’s still pushing forward with its plans for a fully electrified lineup, with several fully electric models slated for release over the next few years.
