Vehicles like the updated Cadillac CTS are not just good looking, they're utilitarian. If you needed more proof than the cars at Handy Buick GMC Cadillac - St. Albans, VT, check out the Urban Luxury Concept.

This ride first appeared at the Los Angeles International Auto Show last year, before hitting the web and creating a buzz. With a short wheelbase, Urban Luxury is a mix between modern Cadillac cars and GM's defunct Aveo5 / upcoming Sonic hatchback.

"The car's tall narrow exterior carries the brand's "Art and Design" styling which makes this tall hatchback look less like an econocar and more like a set piece from "Tron." Two large Koenigsegg-like doors rotate outward and forward to give access to both the front and rear seats."¹

The vehicle is designed taller and narrower to make it more maneuverable through tight city streets. Inside, Cadillac 'ULC'  combines touch screens and projectors, replacing traditional interfaces in order to save space.

Cadillac's Urban Luxury Concept is also a hybrid, with its electric engine matted a turbocharged 1.0-Liter three cylinder. Estimates place fuel economy at 56 mpg city, 65 highway.
