Overview
Armed with a 1.4L Inline-4 engine and a 17.1 kWh battery, fused to a 1-speed automatic transmission, the 2014 Cadillac ELR Coupe makes 217 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Standalone, the engine makes 84 horsepower while the electric motors manage 157 horsepower. This powertrain helps the 2014 Cadillac ELR Coupe cover 0-60 in 7.8 seconds. You can drive the Cadillac ELR Coupe for 37 miles on the electric system alone, making it good for small trips in the city.
Combined, the Cadillac ELR Coupe achieves an impressive 82 MPGe combined while getting 33 mpg from the traditional engine alone. With a base price of MSRP $75,000, the Cadillac ELR Coupe makes a formidable competitor in the compact coupe segment, competing with the likes of the Chevrolet Volt which not to mention falls in the midsize hatchback. You can consider expensive rivals like Porsche Panamera S E-hybrid.
The 2014 Cadillac ELR utilizes the Chevy Volt powertrain & battery pack and offers a premium sedan while maintaining frugality. With smart technology like 'Regen on demand, the ELR offers solid fuel economy figures. While the interior is premium as ever, but rear seats are just too cramped. We too agree with the popular Youtube channel, "Kelly Blue Book" which calls the rear seat "barely habitable".
