2018 CADILLAC CT6 PHEV PLUG IN HYBRID REVIEW AND COMPARISON

EV Channels Review

The 2018 Cadillac CT6 Plug-in Hybrid presents a compelling, albeit niche, offering in the luxury sedan segment. The reviewer highlights its sophisticated and unique hybrid drivetrain, which prioritizes EV driving and offers smooth acceleration, particularly when carrying passengers. Its rear-wheel-drive platform contributes to superior handling dynamics compared to competitors like the BMW 740i and Volvo S90 T8. However, the vehicle is not without its drawbacks. The reviewer notes a less comfortable base seat compared to other CT6 trims and a significant reduction in trunk space due to the large battery. Furthermore, the limited configuration options, notably the absence of Super Cruise and advanced seating packages, detract from its luxury appeal. While the CT6 PHEV offers excellent EV range and driving dynamics, the reviewer ultimately favors the Volvo S90 T8 for its more luxurious interior, better overall practicality with a usable trunk, and wider array of optional features, despite the CT6 PHEV being a superior performer in terms of handling.
