Cadillac’s luxury driving icon is powered by an innovative, fuel-saving two-mode hybrid system that, in addition to its 6.0 liter V-8 gas engine, generates the electric power used to propel the vehicle. When the brakes are applied or the vehicle is coasting, the electric motors within the hybrid system create electricity that is stored in the 300-volt battery. This stored energy is then used to move the vehicle. This cycle repeats itself continually to increase fuel economy.Cadillac's luxury driving icon is powered by an innovative, fuel-saving two-mode hybrid system that, in addition to its 6.0 liter V-8 gas engine, generates the electric power used to propel the vehicle.
