The Cadillac Urban Luxury Concept (ULC) is a gasoline-electric hybrid, 4-seater, city concept car manufactured by Cadillac and unveiled at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show.[1][2][3]
Design
The ULC was designed by Niki Smart and features a signature wedge shaped styling cues from most of the Cadillac models of the 2000s.
Features
The ULC features touchpad screens and projected displays that take the place of traditional gauges.[4]
The ULC seats four adults, with access through a pair of scissor doors[5] that extend outward and rotate forward when opened allowing easy access to all four seats.
Powertrain and fuel efficiency
The ULC was powered by a 1.0L turbocharged 3-cylinder with 350kw electric power engine with a dual-clutch transmission and a hybrid propulsion system that employs electric assist technology, engine start-stop function, and brake energy regeneration. According to Cadillac, the ULC could potentially achieve 156 miles per US gallon (1.51 L/100 km; 187 mpg‑imp) in the city and 165 miles per US gallon (1.43 L/100 km; 198 mpg‑imp) on the highway.
