Over 480km Range on a Single Charge

The Cadillac "ELR" is a 2+2 coupe model developed based on the design of the concept car "Converj" announced in 2009, and it adopts Cadillac's first plug-in hybrid as its powertrain.

The interior and exterior are designed in line with Cadillac's "Art & Science" concept, creating a high-quality and refined look.ATSIt also features the next-generation infotainment system "CUE (Cadillac User Experience)," first adopted in the ATS, which allows operation of navigation, audio, and climate control via a touchscreen.



The Cadillac ELR's powertrain is a plug-in hybrid system with a generator engine, already used in the commercially availableChevrolet VoltChevrolet "Volt," and the Opel "Ampera," which is a sibling model to the Volt. Unlike Toyota's plug-in hybrid system, the motor is the main component, and the engine is solely for power generation, not for directly driving the wheels.

GM calls this an "Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV)" and has achieved a range of over 300 miles (480 km) through a combination of an electric motor, a rechargeable battery, and a gasoline engine for power generation. The battery is a 16.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, T-shaped and positioned along the vehicle's centerline between the front and rear wheels for optimal weight distribution.
