Cadillac presented at the Detroit Auto Show 2013 the electric luxury coupe 2014 Cadillac ELR, the almost unchanged from the 2009 Cadillac featured electric study Converj is based. As Chevrolet Volt and Opel Ampera also uses the 2014 Cadillac ELR an electric drive with range Enver Longer. 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. To make the trip goes according to the manufacturer under normal conditions far up to 480 kilometers. With an Internet and smartphone app, the driver can check the charge status of the battery and control other vehicle functions.
Even the design of the 2014 Cadillac ELR E study was Converj Pate, clearly recognizable by the distinctive look of the bent-over posture. 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. The launch of the Cadillac ELR in North America is scheduled for early 2014, and later, the model should also be sold in China and Europe. Whether the 2014 Cadillac ELR will be available then, however, also in German dealerships is not yet known.
