Cadillac's Provoq concept, making its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas today, follows the angular design theme pioneered by current Cadillac production models but is powered by an environmentally friendly E-Flex propulsion system, which combines GM's fifth-generation fuel cell system and a lithium-ion battery. This power source effectively attributes an element of elegance to the vehicle and furthers GM's stride towards creating 'a vision for a petroleum-free future of luxury transportation'.
"Everything about the vehicle reinforces the notion that great style and environmentally conscious transportation can go hand in hand," said Hoon Kim, exterior lead designer. "We didn't sacrifice proportion, stance or Cadillac's iconic design cues; we used them to support the efficiency of the vehicle."
As with the exterior, the interior blends form and function and makes no compromises to accommodate the fuel cell powertrain and fuel tanks, indicating that technology and real-world feasibility are growing closer together.
