Cadillac confirms ELR

Cadillac has announced that its striking Converj Concept will make it into production.

To be known as ELR - in line with the marque’s three-letter model naming convention - the 2+2 coupĂ© will feature range-extender technology similar to that used in the Chevrolet Volt.

It’s still too early in the development process for even any provisional performance or efficiency data, though. Indeed, all Cadillac is saying for now is that the basic configuration will comprise a four-cylinder engine / generator, an electric drive unit and a large under-floor T-shaped lithium ion battery pack.

As with the Volt, electricity will be the primary propulsion source, with the internal combustion engine kicking in when the battery’s charge runs low.
