The ULC is designed for a turbocharged 3-cylinder 1-liter with 350kw electric power engine with a dual-clutch transmission and a hybrid propulsion system that employs electric assist technology, engine start-stop function, and brake energy regeneration. According to Cadillac, the ULC could potentially achieve 156 miles per US gallon (1.51 L/100 km; 187 mpg‑imp) in the city and 165 miles per US gallon (1.43 L/100 km; 198 mpg‑imp) on the highway. The Urban Luxury Concept seats four adults, with access through a pair of scissor doors[5] that extend outward and rotate forward when opened allowing easy access to all four seats.[1][2] The Cadillac Urban Luxury Concept is a 3-door, 4-seater hatchback (sometimes referred to as the 2-door hatchback in the U.S.)
