Cadillac plug-in hybrid almost official
Converj plug-in concept on ice of now.
Based on both the Volt and the Vue plug-in hybrid?
Some fairly interesting news coming out of GM today regarding its plug-in program. According to MotorTrend, GM is just shy of officially approving a Cadillac SRX-based plug-in hybrid.
Most noteworthy is the possibility that both Chevy Volt and Saturn Vue plug-in hybrid technology could be used in this new plug-in.
Unfortunately, the Saturn Vue plug-in hybrid never become a reality, but what was interesting about that powertrain was that it was a plug-in based off GM’s dual mode hybrid architecture. Thus, this new SRX could be a hybrid of both Voltec and dual mode plug-in hybrid technology according to MotorTrend’s report.
For now, however, the SRX plug-in has not been officially approved by GM’s board – maybe a NAIAS debut is in the works?
Anyway, I still thought the Converj was a hot looking contender for Voltec technology.
This Converj car is a lot sleeker and better looking than the Volt.
