The Cadillac Provoq is a concept luxury crossover vehicle revealed on 8 January 2008, and manufactured by General Motors.[1][2] It was introduced at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, NV and is powered by the plug-in hybrid technology first shown in the Chevrolet Volt. For extended range, a hydrogen fuel cell will recharge the Lithium-ion battery and a solar panel will power onboard accessories, such as interior lighting and the audio system.[3] As the Provoq concept uses a hybrid powertrain it is based on the same GM E-Flex platform as the Chevrolet Volt.
The production car will share the GM Theta platform with Saab which will get its own CUV, the 9-4X. The production vehicle was originally to be called the Cadillac BRX replacing the Cadillac SRX, but Cadillac will instead introduce an all new SRX based on the Provoq.[4]
