NAIAS 2013: Cadillac ELR Live Shots

by Derek Kreindler

Published: January 15th, 2013

Hot on the heels of the broken embargo comes real live shots of Caddy’s Volt. The ELR gets a nice boost in power – 207 horsepower and 295 lb-ft versus 149 horses and 273 lb-ft for the Volt. A .5 kwh larger battery means slightly less range in EV mode, but an 82-mile boost in overall range and a longer charging time (4.5 hours with a 240V outlet, 12 hours with a standard outlet). There’s also a paddle-shift activated regenerative braking feature – we’ll have to drive that one to see if it actually works well.

Is this one of those models with that room divider that goes clear through the back seat? I shudder to think what a divided back seat will do to America's birth rate, or nookie rate at least.

  Yup - supposedly it uses the same big T-shaped battery from the Volt. Which means a seat-height bump in the middle of the rear seat. In a two door car. Thus, any rear-seat occupant must enter and exit from the same side... And nookie is right out. But then again, considering the folks that will but these, might not be so bad...

Is it a digital glitch in the photo quality, or is that one bad chrome strip match-up below the windows of the passenger door and the rear quarter panel?
