425 km WLTP
744 L of rear cargo space as published by Cadillac
22.1 kW three-phase AC charging

Conservative planning allowance derived from the published WLTP figure; it is not a guaranteed real-world result.

Open evidence source ↗

Absence of a listed issue is not a reliability claim. Official recalls, manufacturer campaigns, repeated reports, isolated reports and editorial observations are never blended into a fake failure rate.

TechManPat practical fit

Not tested - yet.

Catalogue research is not a physical family-living test, so this vehicle does not receive a TechManPat Tested badge.

The future test covers a rear-facing child seat, pram and shopping, dog crate, boot opening, rear doors, adult rear comfort, easy entry, parking, visibility, controls and real-world efficiency.
