2014 Cadillac ELR price announced
Cadillac has revealed the price for its ELR range-extender coupé, which goes on sale in major cities across the United States this January.
The cost will be $75,995, including a $995 destination charge but excluding tax, title, license and dealer fees. A federal tax credit of up to $7,500 could sweeten the deal, but availability depends on the ELR owner’s individual tax status.
That makes the ELR more than twice as expensive as a Chevrolet Volt, the model which provided much of the newcomer’s technology. It recently enjoyed a $5,000 price cut and now starts from $34,995 (before any tax credit has been applied).

The Cadillac comes with LED lights front and rear, leather upholstery, real wood cabin trim, touchscreen satellite navigation and various safety systems, so at least the standard specification appears to be fairly generous.
Most buyers will undoubtedly be attracted to the ELR because of its powertrain, though. Comprising a 1.4 litre petrol-powered electric generator, an electric motor and a T-shaped lithium-ion battery pack, its total system output is rated at 207 bhp (154 kW / 209 PS).
Range in electric-only mode is around 35 miles (56 kilometres), which should be enough for many daily commutes. Employing the petrol generator increases that figure to over 300 miles (480 kilometres), meaning drivers shouldn’t ever have to worry about being left stranded with a flat battery.
