Cadillac ELR
Brand new for 2015, the ELR is based on the Converj concept car and is Cadillac’s technological showcase. This 2+2 coupe borrowed several technical features from the Chevrolet Volt. An electric car that can be recharged using an electrical outlet, the ELR has a 69 km operating range in 100% electric mode and, thanks to a little 1.4L engine, it can go 400 kilometres more. Oh, and the ELR has a very smooth ride.
