The 2018 Cadillac CT6 Plug-In looks nearly identical to the non-electric CT6 model. As such, it borrows many of the design cues and features from its CT6 cousin, including an UltraView® panoramic power sunroof and glass acoustic laminated doors.

Some of the 2018 CT6 Plug-In’s exterior features are designed for practical purposes as well. Advanced LED headlamps and IntelliBeam® technology illuminate the path ahead in even the darkest of environments.
