To date, the 2014 Cadillac ELR has some direct rivals . If you just want a plug - in hybrid with lots of electric range, fully loaded 2014 Chevrolet Volt will provide a lot of the same driving experience . At the higher end , you can consider the 2014 Porsche Panamera SE - hybrid , which gives far more in the way of performance but only 20 miles of pure electric range . If you are a little more daring , all - electric Tesla Model S is a wildly fashionable . On the other hand , if the luxury coupe is what you are really after it , the Audi A5 and S5 2014 and 2015 Jaguar F - Type has plenty of style to go around and be quite fuel efficient , depending on the engine you choose .
Cadillac ELR share major mechanical components with the Chevrolet Volt, including the 16.5 -kilowatt unit - battery pack of lithium - ion and 1.4 - liter four-cylinder petrol engine . Cadillac estimate could go up to 37 miles on battery power alone , and while it is less than a mile Volt , the ELR is a fair bit faster, like a Cadillac can get more power from the electric - drive motor cars. Inside, Cadillac coupe has an interior that is far more captivating than the Chevy.
The problem starts when you look at the 2014 Cadillac ELR price tag , which is more than twice that of the Volt . This makes guttural hum of a four - cylinder ELR is much harder to take after you drain its all-electric range . Cadillac has tried to cover roughness machine with hydraulic engine mounts , sound absorbing material and a noise-canceling audio system , but it's just not enough when you accelerate hard . And while riding Caddy is quiet on smooth roads , a surprising amount of violence attacking the cabin over rough pavement - you 'll never complain about this in the Volt , but the luxury coupe , it stands as a glaring lapse in refinement . In addition , the ELR dramatic roofline creates some major packaging problems : small back seat to the point of being nearly unusable , and the trunk opening is unusually narrow .
