凯迪拉克总裁Johan de Nysschen近日透露，车厂将为旗下绝大多数车型提供插电混动版本。他在接受媒体采访时表示，不断提高的燃油经济性和尾气排放标准为新款节能环保车型的推出铺平了道路，这其中包括在今年上海车展亮相的CT6插电混动车。尽管更关注节能环保技术，但电动车显然不是凯迪拉克目前优先关注的方向。而插电混动车在实用性方面要超过纯电动车，这些车不存在续航里程过短的问题，也不用担心缺乏充电桩等基础设施带来的问题。不过，这位高管坦率的承认，车厂最终还是要推出纯电动车型。虽然他拒绝给出具体的时间表，但表示，纯电动车将在插电混动车之后推出。前面提到的CT6插电混动版将于明年上市，该车将搭载一台2.0升四缸涡轮增压引擎，一台18.4千瓦时锂电池组和双电机，综合输出功率250千瓦/335马力，扭矩586牛米。

 

Cadillac to offer plug-in hybrid variants of most of their models

Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen has revealed the company will eventually offer plug-in hybrid variants of most of their models.

 

In an interview with Automotive News, de Nysschen said increasing fuel economy and emissions standards will pave the way for an assortment of new eco-friendly models such as the CT6 plug-in hybrid which was introduced at the Shanghai auto show earlier this year.

 

Despite the focus on green technology, electric vehicles will be taking a back seat. As de Nysschen explained, Cadillac doesn't need them to meet Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards so it removes some of their "imperative" to build one. The executive went on to say plug-in hybrids are more practical than electric vehicles as they don't suffer from a limited range or a "still-immature" charging infrastructure.

 

However, de Nysschen freely admitted the company will eventually offer an electric vehicle. He declined to give a timeframe but suggested the model will arrive after the company has expanded their plug-in hybrid lineup and filled the major gaps in their product lineup.

 

As a refresher, the CT6 plug-in hybrid will go on sale next year and feature a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, a 18.4 kWh lithium-ion battery and two electric motors that produce a combined output of 335 bhp (250 kW) and 432 lb-ft (586 Nm) of torque.
