Cadillac has confirmed it is dropping the CT6
Plug-In in North America. Unlike regular versions of the luxury
sedan, the CT6 Plug-In is built exclusively in China.
There’s no word on how many plug-in hybrids Cadillac
was able to sell in the United States, but the car had a base price of US$ 75,095.
This effectively put the sedan squarely in between the US$ 53,400 BMW 530e
iPerformance and the US$ 91,250 740e xDrive iPerformance.
As a refresher, the CT6 Plug-In has a turbocharged
2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 265 hp and 399 Nm of torque. The car is also equipped with an 18.4 kWh lithium-ion
battery pack which powers two electric motors that each develop 100 hp.
This setup enables the CT6 Plug-In to have a
combined output of 335 hp and 586 Nm of torque.
In terms of performance, the sedan can accelerate from 0-96 km/h in
5.2 seconds and travel approximately 50 km on electricity alone.
