Cadillac's First Electric Vehicle Coming Soon

People have been talking about Cadillac’s first electric vehicle since the company spoke about it at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show. From what we know now, an Escalade-sized vehicle is going to be released on the Hummer EV platform. Take a look at some of the conversations surrounding the new ‘Cadillac EV’ and you are sure to be intrigued. You’ll know you want to make your way to Cadillac Pensacola or Cadillac Fort Walton Beach when the cars are on the lot.

Tell Me More About the Platform

A big talking point about the platform that Cadillac’s first electric vehicle will be on is the batteries. GM will be using its new ultium batteries. One of the features of these is that within the battery pack, the automaker has the choice to stack them horizontally or vertically. With hundreds of miles of range in the battery pack, you will be able to take the new electric Cadillac on many ventures between charges.

Cadillac’s Statements of the Electric Vehicle

The electronic vehicle is set to be a crossover and the president of Cadillac, Steve Carlisle, says it will “meet the needs of customers around the world.” This vehicle will place Cadillac as the leader of the electrification process at General Motors, which is a prime place to be in with features and enhancements improving and becoming available all the time. If this new vehicle has the design or handling of the XT4, it will be a showstopper. If the streamlined exterior is anything like the XT5, everyone will be turning their heads when it drives by. Seeing shifts like this by the large players in the auto industry is a great change for the world. In a time when it is more important than ever to protect our planet by limiting our use of non-renewable resources, the switch to electric cars is a large step in the right direction. Cadillac has delivered quality vehicles over and over again and it is fair to make the assumption that the new electric vehicle will deliver in the same big ways.

The Step One Automotive Group is happy to be a part of these vehicles being on the Cadillac Pensacola and Cadillac Fort Walton Beach lots whenever they become available.
