to create a series hybrid luxury car. It will enter production as a 2014 model.
The production ELR was unveiled at the 2013 NAIAS and it is closely modeled on the Converj concept with headlights that bend up the front of the car, an arching bodyline and just two doors. It is the first Cadillac coupe in over a decade. The exterior gets full LED headlights and taillights, 20in wheels, GM's HiPer Strut front suspension, Bose 10-speaker stereo. The interior includes materials like faux-suede, chrome, wood and optional carbon fiber.
In addition to the massively updated interior quality and modern exterior design, the ELR also gets new interior technology to make it even more special. It includes Regen on Demand that offers selectable drive modes that tune the regenerative braking and internal combustion engine use. The driver can select to drive the car in pure EV mode or force it to use the engine to top up the batteries and several other options. The system's modes are toggled through steering wheel-mounted paddles.
The ELR is powered by a 1.4-liter Ecotec engine that acts as a generator for the car's electric motors. It has a total system output of 207hp and 295lb-ft of torque. The car has a full range of 300 miles (480km). The pure electric driving range is 35 miles. The batteries take about four hours to charge on a 240v outlet. The ELR and its electric powertrain are covered by an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty.

Cadillac was founded in 1902 by Henry Martyn Leland from the remains of Henry Ford’s car company. After financial disputes with its bankers, Ford left taking its name, and Leland stepped in, persuading the bankers to carry on with the carmaker. A new name was needed, and inspired in the French explorer that discovered Detroit in the beginning of the 17th century, Leland chose the explorer’s name to baptize the company: Cadillac.
