Driving ExperienceThe Cadillac ELR's dramatic design is matched with an engaging driving experience, supported by the EREV propulsion system calibrated for uncompromising performance. With 295 lb.-ft. of torque (400 Nm) - about 12 percent more than the 3.6L V-6 in the SRX - acceleration in the city and on the highway, including merging and passing, is achieved with reassuring power on demand.Driving confidence is further enhanced by advanced suspension and damping systems, including Continuous Damping Control - which adjusts damping every two milliseconds - to maintain optimal vehicle ride control over varying road surfaces and profiles. The Cadillac ELR rolls on 20-inch wheels with specially engineered low-rolling-resistance tires designed to balance excellent control and cornering capability with efficiency.A solid, stable foundation underpins the Cadillac ELR, featuring a body-frame-integral structure with main underbody rails running continuously from front to rear. Advanced, high-strength steels add strength and conserve weight. Additional contributors to the Cadillac ELR's driving experience include:

Wide front and rear tracks - 62.1 inches (1,578 mm) in front and 62.4 inches (1,585 mm) in the rear - along with a long wheelbase (106.1 inches / 2,695 mm) and a low center of gravity

HiPer Strut front suspension featuring lightweight forged aluminum components for reduced weight and more nimble, responsive action

Dual-pinion, rack-mounted electric power steering system with premium ZF steering gear designed to provide excellent feedback while helping to save fuel

A semi-independent rear compound-crank suspension with Watts link that incorporates weight-optimized trailing arms to absorb lateral forces, allowing the suspension to be tuned to handle vertical, forward and rearward motions

Hydraulic ride bushings in the front and rear suspensions

An electro-hydraulic regenerative brake system that captures energy and sends it to the battery pack

Standard chassis control systems include antilock brakes, traction control and StabiliTrak electronic stability control.

Because the Cadillac ELR operates so quietly in all-electric mode, a driver-activated feature sounds a noise to alert pedestrians, particularly those with visual impairments, in an intersection. The alert was developed in conjunction with the American Federation of the Blind.Propulsion and Charging TechnologyThe Cadillac ELR is powered by GM EREV technology, combining pure electric drive and an efficient, range-extending 1.4L gasoline-powered electric generator capable of 154 kW (207 hp) of total system power.The Cadillac ELR's battery is a T-shaped, 16.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, located along the centerline of the vehicle, between the front and rear wheels for optimal weight distribution. The 5.5-foot-long (1.6 m), 435-pound (198 kg) pack supplies energy to an advanced electric drive unit capable of 295 lb.-ft. of instant torque (400 Nm) to propel the vehicle. Using only the energy stored in the battery, the Cadillac ELR will deliver a GM-estimated range of about 35 miles (56 km) of pure electric driving, depending on terrain, driving techniques and temperature.A driver-selectable Hold mode directs when the Cadillac ELR uses its electric generator. This feature helps optimize the electric-driving experience, allowing owners who mix city and highway driving to save the battery charge for city travel, where the ELR EV mode operates most efficiently.Charging the Cadillac ELR's battery can be done with a 120V electrical outlet or a dedicated 240V charging station. The vehicle can be completely recharged in about 4.5 hours using a 240V outlet, depending on the outside temperature.Once the vehicle is plugged in, owners can schedule either immediate or delayed charges, even coordinating charging according to departure time or when electricity rates are lower. Owners also can manage and monitor the ELR online or with their smartphone and RemoteLink, a mobile app powered by OnStar.The Cadillac ELR's battery is covered by an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty.
