Walk On Air: 2021 Cadillac XT5 and XT6 Get Mild Hybrid System in China

Good news! As of 2021, the Chinese-market Cadillac XT5 and XT6 will get a 48 volt mild hybrid system, new gold paint, andif the above photo, which we swear on our mothers' lives was actually included with the press release , is any indicationthe ability to levitate. As of model year 2021, the Chinese-market XT5 and XT6s standard 2.0-liter turbo four now comes with a 48-volt mild hybrid system, which Cadillac says boosts fuel economy by roughly 5 percent in the XT5 and 6 percent in the XT6 (to 7.0L/100km and 7.2L/100km respectively, if you must knowabout 33.6 and 37.2 mpg). According to Cadillac, the 48-volt motor will be used to get the Caddys rolling from a stop, and will then assist the gasoline engine once it gets going. Also new for 2021: Gold paint and an updated interface for the Cadillac User Experience infotainment system. --> Sadly, there were no details in the release about the people surrounding the XT5 and apparently walking about a foot off the ground. We emailed Cadillac to ask whether we might see these changes on U.S.-market Cadillac XT5s and XT6s. The 48V system is a China-specific solution and there is no plan to adopt in North America, a Cadillac representative told us. Suspiciously, they said nothing about levitation.
