GM’s Cadillac division is developing a plug-in hybrid using the same range-extender technology as the Chevrolet Volt, according to media reports in Detroit.
Sources told Reuters that the new Cadillac would be based on the SRX crossover and feature plenty of General Motors’ Voltec technology as used in the Chevrolet Volt and Opel Ampera.
