The Cadillac ELR was a truly horrible value. I reviewed a Cadillac ELR to explain why it was so bad -- and why its $76,000 sticker price was way too expensive.

Doug DeMuro - the type of dude to rent your car just to make fun of it.
My favorite one so far
funny because its true

Works for me.
Ok, it's a rubbish car, but Doug, how much did it cost?
Maltina Maltina FOR $76,000!! It’s confounding!
seventy six THOUSAND DOLLARS.
*7 6, 0 0 0 D O L L A R S!!!*
Everything
But...How Does it taste?
Turo renter: "Oh sweet, someones rented my car..."
*turns up at the hand over*
"THIIISSS..."
"Fuck."
It looks like a hot wheels car, just looks toyish
Wolff Gives me Hot Wheels vibe.
Wolff I thought the same thing
like most cadillacs
Sadly the most car that you can afford to buy is a Hotwheels toy car
Totally agree. The oversized frontgrill looks like cheap molded plastic. I meant it's matt silver finish just makes you think about it.
I think that the ELR is a bit misunderstood. I bought one for $20k and while it's definitely not perfect, I love it and think its awesome.
For one, you're not limited to 80hp when the battery reaches 0. It has enough charge to go an extra two miles or so. So if you pull out into traffic and need to floor it to get up to speed, you will still get 200hp. It'll take out some power out of the battery, and put it back later when you're cruising. It also has a mountain mode which charges the battery to about 60% in case you need a lot of power for extended periods of time. The gas engine doesn't even drive the wheels, its just a generator and the ELR still feels like an EV even in gasoline mode. Some extra EV range would be nice, though.
As for the rear seats, they're set up like that because that's where the battery is. It's a T-shaped battery. The Volt has a similar seating arrangement.
As for the features, yeah that's definitely a weak point. a HUD, Sunroof, power trunk and power-folding mirrors would be awesome. You do have automatic wipers, though, you just have to set them to Intermittent which is confusing. Also, you do get all-round LED lighting which was very uncommon at the time. The interior is also very nice with plenty of leather and aluminum, and it's pretty quiet too even with the generator running.
doug "i like my girlfriend because i know all of her quirks and features and i have a column on autotrader"
Haha, that was good.
How did Cadillac go from making gorgeous land yachts to cars like this?
Last real Cadillac was the 93-96 Fleetwood Brougham. Full size American sedan with a Corvette engine.
The malaise era made cars that just attempted to make money. I don't know whether to blame shareholder-value-first corporate strategy, cost cutting fetish accountants that take risk as well as the human body does to ingesting acid, or inept engineers with less passion than modern rappers.
Amen
Part of the problem was the car reviewers and magazines that ridiculed Cadillac for not being fast and racy like some foreign luxury cars
Cityoftrees1911 there has been no truer statement on YT.
It looks so dated. It desperately needs more length for the design to work, now it's just a blob disguised as edgy.
Keksi the Labrador exactly what I thought

How much was it again

Not even funny. why so many likes..?
in the 90's, i worked as a designer at cadillac for eight years. cadillac considered itself a peer among bmw, mb and other luxury brands. however, in the engineering department we were forced by management to do things as cheaply as possible; just use existing gm parts/processes everywhere possible. we collectively brought cadillac to the point loyal customers would write letters detailing their disappointment with our rattley, junky, piece of shit we badged as cadillacs ans sold as a luxury vehicle con job.
GM is a company of Engineers for Engineers that should be ran by Engineers. Whenever they tried business men they sunk or sucked. Engineers have always led GM to reliability and leaders in the industry.
The grill looks like a decal.

I drive an ATS coupe and it doesn't have that compartment. I think only this Cadillac does that. Probably the best hiding place in any car I've ever seen lol.
SuchANiceGirl22 , ATS does in fact have it. all newer caddies do have it. clearly you don't know how to open it.
SuchANiceGirl22 , i deal with Cadillacs daily, all of the Cadillacs with that dashboard, have the hidden compartment.
More like the massive amounts of cocaine you would have to be doing to buy an ELR in the first place.
I've owned one for 2.5 years and I love it. I paid 26k for it and it's still worth 22k. Great value IMO. I get compliments everywhere, so Doug is just wrong on this one. At new price it was overpriced, but the used price now is great. I haven't had a single problem with it and only had to change the oil once. Beat that!
There's a guy on TH-cam with 400k on his Chevy Volt. If the ELR is an upgraded Volt I have a feeling your ELR will hit 400K with no issues other than basic maintenance
I agree, looking forward to getting another myself!
I totally agree.
- It was a very biased review.
I just got mine. 14 with 77k I get 28EV but so worth it.only thing I could wish it had was cooled seats. But I have owned 6 Cadillacs previously and I must say this one so far is one of my favorites!
It’s definitely a car to buy used
When this video came out, a friend of mine propose a drink game. Every time Doug says 76k dollars, we drink a shot.
Well, today I woke up from my coma.
Thanks, Doug

i think he said 35,000
da epic supar roblox player69 76,000$ double the price of the volt
Doug, I agree with your summary which was a good car for 45,000$, however you have not understood the drive train. Its not a Hybrid, it is a range extended electric vehicle. It drives on the 200 BHP electric motor all the time. The 85 BHP ICE is just a generator. The battery never goes fully flat, it always has a reserve and you always have 200 BHP available. It would be no good for a le mans 24 hour race but this car is built for a special niche market, which is people who want to drive an EV but just occasionally want to drive long distance. I have a Volt / Ampera and 39 mile range is enough for nearly all my journeys but every few weeks I go on a 500 to 1000 mile journey and do not want to wait while an EV charges. The ELR and the Volt are the only car that can do what I want until there are EVs with a 1000 mile range. The strange thing is the car was marketed in the US where you have cheap petrol, it is a car much more suited to Europe where petrol is very expensive. I would certainly have bought a used ELR at the right price but as they are almost unknown here, I will stick with my Ampera which is a fantastic car.
Thank you for explaining for me.
Got me a bit frustrated lol
So is the car not supposed to be run on gas?? Like emergencies only? Or is it ok to just treat it like a gas vehicle(fill up more than charge up)
@@the3ddy0693 If you only do short trips it only runs on electric. Gas is for long trips. Having said that, you should run the gas engine for 10 minutes every few months. Thats programmed into the software and does it on its own. Its the same as the chevy Volt / Ampera. I used to go for many weeks without using gas but then sometimes I would drive 800 miles and use gas all the way.
@@jonathanwebb8307 If I didn't take occasional long trips, I would use ~50 gallons per YEAR. If Americans were not forced to subsidize petroleum giants the gas would be much more expensive and electric cars in more demand. I recently purchased the ELR and so far it is very nice.
I have owned a Volt for 7 years, 88,000 miles and am very happy with it.

Cadillac ELR developers are siting in a meeting in room with the CEO, watching this video, and someone is getting fired by the end of this video.
cars20guy noobtube he/she was fired in 2016
ELR won the International Design Award in 2014 nobody got fired for that car. The new Stringray came in second place that same year. The Converj which the ELR is a production model of won two years earlier.
cars20guy noobtube they should all be fired
"Design" ,aside from aerodynamics, has no effect the actual performance of the vehicle nor its downfalls. Also, the corvette was not inspired in this vehicle.
the CEO who is taking 3000% more pay than any other employee "the american way" is at fault. less for design, research and development , marketing research, modern tooling and factory modernization , it all suffers. This is why no American car can compete with German and Japanese cars. Your fat ways will choke you out.
Quirks and features. Always cracks me up
memalos1 only reason I subbed to his channel
I own a white 2016 model with the performance package and absolutely love it, even qualified for CA HOV stickers. In the land of Tesla I certainly stand out and often get gawkers when I park or the occasional photo op when driving down the road.
The prices on a used ELR are really affordable these days however the 2016 model is without question the "better year" and increasingly difficult to find being that GM only made 523 ELR's in 16'. Most if not all lease returns should already be completed as well. Find one with the optional performance package and you struck gold :)
I have a red sport and always getting asked what it is.
as a used proposition this probably is a great value.
If your car in that spec also has Kona leather…omg I want

Time to LS Swap an ELR!
would be cool but as its electric drive it would be extremely difficult and dangerous once finished
XDENT TIM Dangerous? You'd get rid of all that electric shit. That's the point.
you can get rid of the electric shit but you can't change the entire frame of the car. the ELR is FWD (front wheel drive) the motor is under the hood and is driven by the front wheels. Now he said "LS swap" which means an LS motor now an LS is an RWD (rear wheel drive) motor now it is possible to make it AWD but not just FWD you have to make it go to the rear wheels so with the ELR being an FWD you would literally have to the cut straight down the middle of the car floor pan to make room for the driveline doing such would destroy the cars Integrity making the thing an death trap in a simple accident so yes it would be Dangerous if you managed to do such of a modification to the ELR.
You can't just LS swap everything.
now what you could do is find a D16 or some motor that meant to be used in the FWD configuration there many out there most likely an inline 4 would be the best for this small of a vehicle that would be more possible and would give the car the sportiness your looking for
LS4
last, of the LS series you want to use but each to their own I guess.
just saying it would be five times easier and safer to run like an SRT4 in the ELR.
One question what's the fixation on LS motor anyways? to me there not amazing or groundbreaking in my opinion just overpriced useless power motors.

Seats look nice though
I bought one used for $28K. Actually, the one in this video looks almost exactly like mine (I tinted my windows). You are spot on about the blind-spots and the back seat is virtually non-existent for passengers. But I can tell you, the styling turns heads everywhere I go here in Los Angeles. That actually kind of sucks sometimes, because young guys pull up thinking it's something that they can race, and I tell them all the time that's not the mission of this car...they'd do better racing a Prius.

@@MrRayMac1963 assuming they make them and the giant factory they build isnt for naught lol......and theyre avg 25% margin or so. 13000 they can cancel at a rate of 130:1 and they would break even on recognizing them now vs later. does that seem reasonable? not to mention theyre discounting the FSD package from 10 to 7 for them so they'd be crying if they ever cancel and pull out

@@CeeJay____ yea I’d say it’s closer to the late 2000’s cts coupes
Hey Doug could you tell us more about the price of the car? You didn't mention it
Alex200344 he did at the start, its 76K
He mentioned it like a hundred times
Boogimos no thanks
you re a moron.
This was a car entirely made in a boardroom, and series of email chains...
They all are
@@bobbysworldrox No I mean, they didn't even look at the car. They just said, "Ok that sound good..."
@@ChuckBerrington Thats what makes it so great, it looks just like the concept car that came out a year before (Cadillac Converj). None of the bean counters could get their dilbert hands on it A failure but a magical one at that! Can't say that about your cimarron.
Doug please do the R8. It's the best value supercar out there and is stunning (opinion). It's a huracan without the lambo badge and there's something quite nice about that!
Conor Chambers Its a bit boring though... He seems to prefer more interesting cars. Id still like to see the r8 as well though
AnimalzyNL I concede your point but that's why I like German cars! There's no crazy styling nor useless features, it's just a 'knowers nod' of appreciation you'll get from it. Plus, the steering wheel is the nicest of any car; all Audi's have nice steering wheels though.
Dan Lee well the gtr has 4 cylinders missing.. And the engine is in the wrong place
Conor Chambers it's also my favourite car. Have a like.
He's got reviews on this channel on almost every car brand, except Audi -_-.
It's like he hates Audi.
I have one...traded my 2011 Volt for it. They're great cars for 20-25k. 76k is insanely stupid. Sure, there're only 2 doors but I'm not hauling around a family and 90% of the time, I'm the only one in the car. It's extremely comfortable, has plenty of power to be my daily driver and saves me a LOT of money at the pump. GM did a great job on their Volt and ELRs...the Voltec powertrain is one of their better developments in quite some time (IMHO). Of course, those who are all about horsepower and 0-60 times will scoff at the car...but for those who simply want an affordable, efficient, comfortable, reliable, sharp looking daily driver...it's a great deal...at 20-25k. :-) YMMV
wonder how much it cost?
I think he mentions the price on his column on auto$76,000.com/$76,000steer
Oh I get it, because he kept saying the price?
9:10 "The windshield is a few blocks ahead of me. " I HOLLERED WHEN HE SAID THAT!!! 😂😂
Alonso Robinson i read this right when he said that, thats awkward...
Just as he said that I saw this comment
That line should have been used with C&D reviewed the Pontiac Trans Sport.
Alonso Robinson I had to rewind twice cus I thought I didn't hear correctly 😂
When volts become ELR’s or Cavaliers become cimmarons bad things happen.
Marc Scordato Hahahahahaha, Cimmaron... Nice one. 😂😂😂😂
What is a cimmaron
BIGGIE CHEESE Look up the Cadillac Cimarron on Google.
BIGGIE CHEESE ...do some research...another GM Dud
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Cimarron
I happen to own a 2016 model and I can say I didn’t pay$76k. This is by far the best vehicle I have own. I only use gas on long trips. The car has been very reliable very comfortable on long trips. He say that it didn’t have automatic windshield wipers, but mines does. The windshield doesn’t bother me, yes there are blind spots, but what new vehicle doesn’t.
A Honda, and many more?
11:40 "better than average though i'd hesitate to call it really beautiful"
7:07 "it really looks beautiful"
Drinking Game: Take a shot every time he says "76 thousand dollars" or "Chevy Volt"
Holden Strickland LMFAO 😂
Alcohol poisoning
Holden Strickland Your trying to murder me...
_That_Croatian_Petrolhead_ Lol I guess so 😂
Lol 😂
Watched a tall nerdy white man repeatedly yell $76,000 for 13 minutes! I love the internet
1. Doug is cool as hell.
2. What does it matter if he is white,you jackass?
its to emphasize his looks, its no racial innuendo lol calm down guys
he said a nerdy white guy to show how geeky he is
I see 3 salty white nerdy guys
wait how was his comment offensive? like seriously, why are you angry? you took it out of context
Wrong it’s a excellent car my 14 has 250000 miles not a problem one. Just bought a 16 with low miles love it❤
How much electric range do you get
Just recently drove a Camaro (1LE) and I can assure you, the ELR's blind spots can't be worse. LOL
Camaro driver here. Definitely one up this post hahahaha
Same here. Took about 6 months to get used to it
I heard some strange guy bought himself a Defender for 70,000.00$... Well thats unusual...
I don't think anyone would buy a defender for $70.000.00
Dog bought a Defender for 70,000 dollars idiot, its a joke lol.
KIYOOU that's Doug!
Where in the world would a defender cost 70.000$ ? oh yeah..
AYY ALI G !
I wonder if this car is worth it's price
1betterthanyou1 i hope it's not $76,000
giorgio tsoukalos lol
Groundskeeper Willie No dumbass it's obviously it's, "it's" is a contraption for it is.
Right, and that's why it's wrong. "I wonder if this car is worth it is price." That's proper English to you? It should be "its."
@ golden wolf brain ... i wonder if this car is worth it is price? does that sound right to you? looks like ground keeper willie burned you, oh wait. you burned yourself...hahaha
I have a 14 Chevy volt and I gotta say after 1 1/2 years
I'm still surprised at how well the volt is built. Hadn't had not one problem and I put 112000 miles on it. But I would never get an ELR and I'm a BIG! Cadillac fan.
Why would you never get an ELR if you love your Volt?
You know the car is trash when you have to emphasize that the A/C works well
You know this car is trash when you find out it's American Made LMFAO.
Soooo....what you're saying is....it costs 76 thousand DOLLARS.
Seriously just give me an R8 for 76 or a GTR. Preowned for life. Depreciation is my greatest ally.
Depreciation is my greatest ally too, a year ago I purchased a 2000 cadillac eldorado ETC for $2,200 19 years ago it was $50,000.
Nahhh I would never buy an Audi atleast until I have 3M, my dad's a doctor and I'm a medical student and I still dont have a benz, I have a 2006 ls430 highest trim level... best car ever, the only repairs I do are normal repairs...!
Shoot just give me a brand new Toyota Tacoma and allow me to put the rest in my bank account and I’ll be fine.
And out of warranty repairs would be your greatest enemy.
Same lol just purchased a 2013 SHO for $18k. They were $52k brand new 😂
What about the Oversteer-to-cloumn warranty? Anyways, great quirks and features today!
lmayonesse
x50 It's bumper to bumper warranty....
Cleto no the joke went over your head...lol
not bad
While Doug is right that the ELR is a turd, his roasting of the 83hp the gas engine has shows his fundamental misunderstanding of how the gasoline engine works in the ELR. The engine just generates power for the EV powertrain, it doesn’t drive the wheels.
The grill looks like teeth.
Ethan Quinn And not the straight kind of teeth...
😂😂😂
this grill looks like grillz
GM designers is a team of cavemen.
Michael Nguyen Lmao
Michael Nguyen an insult to cavemen
Pontiac Aztec? Buick Rendezvous? Screw GM. GM will keep polishing turds.
Corvette , Camaro , CTS-V , the list can go on. GM has good and bad cars just like any other manufacturer
Joseph Graham horse shit. Name one from Subaru aside from B9 which wasn't terrible like the shit GM kicks out.
GM cars are garbage.They're behind in safety, fuel economy, & reliability still & forever will. Shit is garbage from them. Hell more Subarus, Toyotas, & BMWs are made in the States the the crap GM puts out.
How much did it cost? I didn't catch that.
N3ssaya US$76,000 New
What he said lol
@@nicholasartuso5132 I'm sorry what did you say? Didn't quite catch the price
@@SuperVarunan $76,000 plain and simple. Tea and cake
@@nicholasartuso5132 wait did you just say $76,000?
Too bad you didn’t review it normally. The ELR is probably the best of any Cadillac from a design and innovation aspect and its styling is still current Cadillac.
SEVENTY SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!! *triggered*
Dont Assume My Gender!!! love your profile picture and your username 😂😂
D H thank you haha its nice to get a chuckle out of people.
P.s.- I think doug is gender neutral
