Following an initial look at the concept stages of the Cadillac
ELR, the North American International Auto Show in Detroit was the
stage for the car’s official introduction to the world. The ELR is the
first luxury electric coupe in GM’s lineup and is based off of the
powertrain from the Chevy Volt. Unlike Tesla’s pure-electric Model S
sedan, the ELR has a gasoline engine that backs up its battery. The
vehicle can travel 35 miles on a single charge of electricity before a
1.4-liter engine comes to life and keeps the coupe running – thanks in
large part to a 5.5-foot-long, 435-pound T-shaped battery and an engine
that will provide 207 horsepower. The interior of the ELR is a
destination unto itself. An open door reveals an exquisite oasis of
elegance and information. Finely stitched leather accents,
burled-grained wood and available carbon fiber, along with the
technology of Cadillac CUE2, provide touches that may even exceed the
comforts of home. The automaker has not revealed pricing for the
vehicle, which will go on sale in the early weeks of 2014.
