This means that the car is driving on the first 56 kilometers, only with power from the battery.

Once the charge is low, the built engine with 1.4 liters on the same cylinder capacity and provides the necessary electrical driving current. Overall, it is the 2014 Cadillac ELR brings to 210 hp and 400 Nm of torque. The T-shaped arrangement lithium-ion battery unit with a capacity of 16.5 kWh to be fully charged in 4.5 hours.

The design of the radiator grille, side skirts, rear spoiler and 20-inch wheels is committed to serving the aerodynamics. Given a gauge of 1.578 meters and 1.585 meters in front and rear of a long wheelbase of 2.695 meters to a maximum of four passengers should have enough space.

The equipment of the 2014 Cadillac ELR is also introduced the 2012 operating concept CUE (Cadillac User Experience), which will integrate up to ten external devices into the vehicle infotainment and driver provides the desired information more than 20 centimeters on a large display.
