Caddy ELR beat RLX
The Caddy's brakes beat out the Acura Sport Hybrid SH-AWD powertrain, the Audi 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine, the BMW carbon-fiber passenger shell from the i3, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine used by Ford, the plug-in hybrid powertrain in the Honda Accord, Hyundai's hydrogen fuel cell technology, the regenerative brakes in the Mazda i-ELOOP, the plug-in hybrid powertrain used in some Porsche models and, finally, the Ram 3.0-Liter EcoDiesel engine.

The RLX's Sport Hybrid SHAWD system is designed for improved performance first and improved economy second, so it is not a surprise that it is not going to get showered with love from environmentalists. There is really nothing new about the SHSHAWD system from an environmental standpoint, the way it is used to improve handling is the real groundbreaking stuff - environmentalists don't care about tech that improves handling.
