2014 Cadillac ELR consumer reviews

I own 7 cars, Porsche, Mercedes, 3 Caddy's etc... This ELR has most of the same stuff as the 2015 Escalade. Very fun and comfortable to drive. I used my brother's Volt for 2 weeks which is why I bought the ELR. No comparison though, it's like a Chevy vs a Cadillac and you do get what you pay for.

Cadillac is relieving the price gripe by helping dealers sell inventory. Good move! The car itself is a sterling piece of design inside and out. The materials are the best. The first day I owned it I went to a shopping mall and found the car being admired when I returned to it. The mall even has a free charging station. Driving it is a smooth and quiet experience, more so than any other premium car I have owned. The Bose sound system is great when you want to break the silence. A buyer needs to recognize the car was not designed to haul kids to soccer practice. It is a refined adult experience.

2400 miles and still have not visited a gas station, so convenient . Beautiful styling inside and out. Solid ride, no rattles or creaks of any kind. Engineering light years ahead of Tesla. It's not even close to a Volt, I had one. Drive one for a week, you won't want to give it up. No noise, no shifting, no turbo lag, just super smooth torque.

The ELR is designed and priced to be a low volume niche car...which is why I bought (leased) one. The car is very well put together, has a great handling nimble ride (even in Sport mode) for a 4k lb. car. The same bumps and dips in the road I live on are almost non existent compared to the 2013 CTS Coupe Perf. pkg. I used to drive. Overall, a very awesome car to drive everyday and right now I'm getting an average of 63.8 mpg with my right lead foot. Picked the car off a local Caddy showroom as the first in the Metro area. Still love the car after 4 mos. and get awestruck looks from passers by every time I'm out driving it. I love the uniqueness of it and don't care about the price. If you're hung up on the price then you don't understand the uniqueness of a niche luxury vehicle. It's an EV Caddy people!!!

own/driven volt 40k miles and averaging 103 mpg. Test drove caddy. Positives: Lux interior and beautiful exterior, lumbar seats, reliable volt platform, HOV lane stickers, paddle regen. Negatives: priced too high, huge wheels degrade ride quality, price, small back seats with no headroom, price, low visibility, price. I would buy if priced $50k. Cadillac will get slaughtered at the current pricepoint.

I'm really excited about the new ELR. Overall, I think they did about as much as they could to upgrade the Volt platform. I hope they're able to adjust the price down somewhat for next model year. A starting price of $50K would seem more in-line with what the car is.

Purchased one of the first ELR to hit our area. I had driven the Tesla twice and very very impressed other than the price. The ELR is an upscale volt which is proven technology. However, the Cadillac adaptation to a more luxurious vehicle is a vast disappointment. While the interior appointments are certainly that of a more luxurious vehicle, the ride quality, vehicle noise level, and handling are not competitive with lesser priced vehicles for sure. The ELR is at a pricepoint near the upgraded Lexus sedans, Audi's and Mercedes. At this category, it is not at all competitive.
