The ELR plug-in hybrid, however, is going to be out after a fabulous facelift, only in the year 2017. We must admit that we haven’t heard much on the Cadillac variant of the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. Even though there were some reports from some trustworthy sources in the motor world, nothing can be stated for sure.
What we do know for sure is that Cadillac’s upcoming SUV, the Escalade, is going to flaunt General Motors’ revolutionary rear-wheel drive 10-speed transmission.

Going by that, one can imagine that it will be given the styling tweaks at almost the same time. It has also been predicted that the mid-size SRX will be revamped in 2016 and will be fixed with the nine-speed front-wheel drive gearbox. Speculations are that a grand crossover is also on its way but is going to keep motor enthusiasts waiting till 2018.
There is more than just the news of the Cadillac’s upcoming SUV. So, lastly and most importantly, the much-awaited LTS rear-wheel drive full-size sedan will be launched in 2015 or perhaps 2016. Industry experts are sure the car will have the same 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6 and Aisin-sourced eight-speed transmission that grace the CTS Vsport. Chances are that it will ultimately get the 10-speed transmission after a year, some time in 2017. To add icing to the cake, an all-wheel drive will also be available for its takers!
