FIRST EVE R 2 0 1 4 ELR
It is the provocative embodiment of imagination and inspiration. An uncompromising luxury coupe for those who ask, “What’s next?” For those who recognize the possibility of “what if” and dismiss the thought of what can’t be done. It’s for those who seek opportunities to move the world forward. And who believe that only by working hard are we able to experience the best life has to offer.
A B R I L L I A N T C O N C E P T. A MORE IMPRESSIVE REALITY. The task was daunting: Take the celebrated Converj concept vehicle, and turn it into reality. The first ever 2014 ELR, with an advanced electric drive system and onboard generator powered by gas, stayed remarkably true to its original inspiration. Cadillac ELR is the perfect balance of Art & Science and the latest example of our fearless approach ELR / Radiant Silver Metallic to automotive innovation.
FOR THOSE WHO PREFER THEIR ART ELR / Graphite Metallic IN AUTOMOTIVE FORM.
Active Aero Grille Shutters automatically close at highway speeds to maximize aerodynamics and open at lower speeds when additional cooling may be required. The signature light-blade vertical headlights combine classic styling with modern technology. Each contains four projector lenses powered by LEDs, individually precision-engineered for enhanced nighttime visibility as well as efficiency. Every detail was considered in the quest for efficiency.
CONCEIVED, DESIGNED AND ELR / Kona Brown with Jet Black Accents R E N D E R E D S P E E C H L E S S. The art of craftsmanship lives and breathes within the ELR luxury coupe, where five complementary materials were specifically chosen to provide a feeling of balance and harmony: burl grain Olive Ash or Laurel wood, genuine carbon fibre, sueded microfibre, finely stitched premium leather and satin chrome accents. The dramatic layering of textures creates a quiet, luxurious sanctuary with undeniable style.
SLIP INTO SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE TECHNOLOGICAL. CUE1— Cadillac User Experience — infotainment system with navigation2 lets you access your contacts, music and information with just the touch, flick or swipe of the screen. In fact, CUE comes to life when it senses your hand is near and provides feedback vibrations. CUE received ELR-specific enhancements, allowing you to monitor power flow, select when and how your vehicle is charged, and much more. Hear only the sounds you want to hear.
I T CA R R I ES A N U N M I STA K A B L E A I R OF ELECTRICITY. The ELR electric drive system elicits an immediate response. Press down on the accelerator when the vehicle is at a standstill, and you’re greeted with instant torque and smooth, shiftless acceleration.
With the first ever ELR, you begin your journey driving on electricity stored in the battery. Then the remainder of your travels will be powered by electricity produced by the onboard generator. The battery can be recharged at most outlets, and the onboard generator can be refilled at any gas station, so unlimited travel is always on the agenda. OUT OF THE KILOWATT.
Customize your charge. Using either the multi-touch CUE system or the available OnStar RemoteLink® mobile app,3 you can customize your charging mode as well as the charging level. You even have the option of programming the charge based on off-peak rates or your next planned departure. ELR / Radiant Silver Metallic Lights on the side mirrors pulse green while the battery is charging and go dark when charging is complete. 240V1 5 HOURS 120V 12.5–18 HOURS2 1.
