2014 Cadillac ELR plug-in to start from $75,995

Though it shares much of its architecture and plug-in hybrid powertrain with the Chevrolet Volt, the 2014 ELR has distinctly Cadillac sheetmetal, a striking Cadillac interior and, as General Motors has just announced, a Cadillac-grade MSRP: when it hits the market in January, the coupe will start from $75,995 (including destination).

 
That’s significantly more than the $60,000 that earlier rumors had suggested the ELR would command, although an applicable federal tax credit of up to $7,500 will lower the bottom line.

The 2014 Chevrolet Volt lists from $34,995 before tax credits.

 

Along with a shapely form, that ELR’s pricetag will buy standard features like all-LED exterior lighting, Cadillac’s CUE infotainment system with navigation, lane departure warning and forward collision alert. Buyers will also benefit from a special concierge service that can provide help with battery care, home charging and service scheduling.

 

The ELR shares its powertrain – a T-shaped 16.5-kWh battery pack, two electric motors and a 1.4-liter four-cylinder that serves primarily as a generator – with the Volt, but revisions increase the Cadillac’s power to 207 horsepower (up 58) and 295 lb-ft of torque (up 22).

 

General Motors says the ELR will be good for 35 miles of electric-only driving and a total range of more than 300 miles. Official fuel economy ratings have yet to be announced.<![CDATA[
