The Cadillac ELR is a two-door, four-passenger luxury plug-in hybrid compact coupé manufactured and marketed by Cadillac for model years (MY) 2014 and 2016 – with a hiatus for MY 2015.[6] Using a retuned version of the Chevrolet Volt's Voltec EREV drivetrain,[3] the ELR's lithium-ion battery pack delivered an all-electric range of 37–39 miles (60–63 km) and a top speed of 106 mph (171 km/h).[5][7]
The ELR derived from Cadillac's Converj concept, which debuted at the 2009 North American International Auto Show. Scheduled for production and subsequently canceled during GM's bankruptcy and restructuring, and after a series of on-again, off-again decisions, the ELR was approved for production for MY 2014 with a MSRP at roughly $75,000 — $35,000 higher than the Volt whose basic powertrain it shared.[8]
Styled under the exterior design direction of Tim Kozub,[9] Cadillac presented the production ELR at the 2013 North American International Auto Show[10][11] with retail deliveries beginning in the United States and Canada in December 2013.[12]
ELR manufacture ended in February 2016[13] with a total production just under 3,000.
