Cadillac Provoq
Concept car developed by Cadillac
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cadillac Provoq (pronounced as "provoke") was a concept luxury crossover SUV presented by GM at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 8, 2008. [2][3] It was powered by the plug-in hybrid technology first shown in the Chevrolet Volt. For extended range, a hydrogen fuel cell could recharge the Lithium-ion battery and a solar panel could power onboard accessories, such as interior lighting and the audio system.[4] As the Provoq concept used a hybrid powertrain it was based on the same GM Voltec platform as the Chevrolet Volt.
