Design

The ULC was designed by Niki Smart and features a signature wedge shaped styling cues from most of the Cadillac models of the 2000s.

Features

The ULC features touchpad screens and projected displays that take the place of traditional gauges. The ULC seats four adults, with access through a pair of scissor doors that extend outward and rotate forward when opened allowing easy access to all four seats.

Powertrain and fuel efficiency

The ULC was powered by a 1.0L turbocharged 3-cylinder with 350kw electric power engine with a dual-clutch transmission and a hybrid propulsion system that employs electric assist technology, engine start-stop function, and brake energy regeneration. According to Cadillac, the ULC could potentially achieve 156 miles per US gallon (1.51 L/100 km; 187 mpg‑imp) in the city and 165 miles per US gallon (1.43 L/100 km; 198 mpg‑imp) on the highway.
