"With future trends going toward small and efficient vehicles catering to city dwellers, it leaves a unique challenge for luxury marques such as Cadillac to continue offering what people demand in the premium vehicle segment. Cadillac&amp;#039;s Urban Luxury Concept addresses that issue, should the brand ever decide to break into this segment.   The exterior design of the Urban Luxury Concept carries Cadillac&amp;#039;s strong and instantly recognizable sharp contours. The huge 19-in. wheels are pushed far out to the corners of the diminutive body to create a muscular stance and maximize interior volume. Glass abounds in the ULC&amp;#039;s large windshield, as well as in the overhead skylights and see-through A-pillars that aid visibility as much as they add to the spacious feel of the interior. The Cadillac Concept will accommodate up to four passengers, entering and exiting the cabin through huge chiseled door slabs that open scissors-style with exotic grace and space-saving purpose.   A look inside the ULC reveals a simple but technologically advanced layout. A central analog speedometer is flanked by a couple of projected screen readouts that supplement a hi-def head-up display. There&amp;#039;s online access available for the passenger through a touch pad interface that tucks out of view when not deployed.   Passenger comfort aside, Cadillac looks to push the envelope in more areas than dimensional efficiency. To that point, the ULC&amp;#039;s powertrain is a hybrid featuring an electrically assisted turbocharged 1.0-liter inline-3 mated to a dry dual-clutch transmission. With engine start-stop function and regenerative braking, Cadillac projects the ULC could be capable of up to 56 mpg city and 65 mpg on the highway.   Whether the ULC has a place in Cadillac&amp;#039;s future lineup remains to be seen. But it&amp;#039;s exciting to see what creative solutions are found when the company strives to bring its luxury and refinement into the burgeoning fuel-efficient city car market.
