Here is the new Cadillac XT5 30E, a plug-in hybrid version of the XT5 that is for now only for
China. The XT5 PHEV officially debut on the Shanghai Auto Show and launch on
the Chinese car market soon thereafter.
The XT5 is made locally by the Shanghai-GM joint venture. Current engine options are a
250 hp 2.0 turbo (25T) and a 269 hp 2.0 turbo (28T). The 3.6 V6 is not
available in China.
The XT5 30T PHEV will combine the 269 hp 2.0 turbo
with an electric motor, basically the same setup as in the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Cadillac hasn’t announced the
output of the electric motor yet but combined output in the CT6 is 335 hp, so
it seems safe to assume output of the XT5 30T will be very similar.
We do know that Cadillac claims a 210 km/h top
speed, and that curb weight is a hefty 1880 kilo. Price is expected to start
around 550.000 yuan or US$ 80.000.
