    For an "In Depth" look at the ins and outs of the Cadillac CUE system, check out my comprehensive overview here: • Video
    Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! TH-cam's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we'll take an up close and personal, in depth look at the 2014 Cadillac ELR.
    MSRP pricing for the ELR, before options, begins at:
    Standard: $75,000
    Premium (As Shown Here): $80,140
    During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
    FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth educational videos of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of TH-cam!

    I was actually able to see one of these at my local Cadillac dealer recently and the exterior is nice but the interior is beautiful. Probably the best interior GM has made since the 60s.

      I think it comes with two or three different grill options. I agree, the standard grill looks cheap and hideous. But then again, what would you expect from GM. They really don't know what they are doing.

    i love how this car looks. to someone who doesn't know much about the drivetrain in this, they would think its a gas powered sports car. too expensive though, even with tax incentives.
    btw kyle, the description has a slight error. it says "MSRP pricing for the XTS4 V-Sport, before options, begins at..."

    Guys let's be glad that we have options to choose from and are not stuck with cars that look like a Prius. At least they are trying to make electric cars more appealing. With that being said, I do think the $70,000 price tag is stretching it a bit. I can see $50,000, maybe even 60, but 70 is pushing it. But if they believe in their heart that that car is worth the $70,000 price tag, then hey, more power to them.

    I attended the San Francisco Car Show in November 2014 and visited the Cadillac ELR showcase. The Cadillac ELR garnered much attention from visitors. The car is long slung and impressive upon approach. One issue was young hosts didn't know too much about the actual machinations of the ELR which was unfortunate because the visitors had questions on drivetrain, horsepower, hybrid capabilities, and then charging stations. The ELR uses the same drive train as the Chevy Volt therefore I question the price point ($75K) for the performance as people will expect more performance for the price. There needs to be more information on the "charging" and "charging stations" because this is a hidden price. In conclusion,the Cadillac appears to be a good start but for the price-performance the high scale consumer will look elsewhere. While I am tempted to purchase an ELR...I cannot convince myself the $75,000 is a value-add without the performance.

    I've seen the ELR at a showing and the dealership and it is slick, fine. Got those long smooth handle free doors like the coupe. The interior is a work of art. It's not big, not compact, but roomy inside. If you need a back seat, forget it. I'd need more info on electric cars. Starts at $72 -84k, lol. You can get it now for about $55k and Caddy will install the charger up to 3k. Nice. GM redesigned all Caddies and upped the price.

    This is a car for those with a discerning eye. I even have family that will buy anything just for the 0-60 time. That is so old fashioned to me because to live with a car you need so much more. I sat in a model made just like the one presented here at an auto show and I was floored with how well built it was. Nothing under 100K can touch it in most regards....good job Cadillac.

    • @marc1093280
      @marc1093280 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are plenty of cars for $50,000 that could beat this car, and for $75,000 this car better also be RWD or AWD and have a twin-turbo V8. A CTS-V coupe is pretty much like this car in terms of interior quality, just a bit dated, but it's RWD and can go much faster than this car, which is a dressed up Volt. Cadillac made a mistake raising the prices on their cars, and the ELR should start at $55K. I am a flexible person but $75,000 for a FWD car is pushing it. Would it has killed them to give it a some more HP and torque and AWD?

      These can be had used with under 40,000 miles for under $30,000... less than half the price of new. There are some good deals out there if the ELR is your thing.
      I test drove a 2014 yesterday and I agree that it's very well made, very comfortable, and drives nicely. My only misgiving is the buzzy 1.4L engine, but I think I can forgive that, given everything else this car has to offer.

    The Voltec powertrain only uses about 11 of the 16.5 kWh available to propel the vehicle. No part of the battery is reserved for a particular use (ie pure EV or hybrid). The entire battery is charged or recharged as necessary within the state-of-charge limits in the software code.

    @wigglepickle 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This car isn't bad to look at. The headlights are a little funky but the styling all around is great. It's obviously the price that makes people super mad. And this car is for people who want to have the luxury car buyer status. So they opt for this and not the volt. Because either way, it's still considered a Cadillac. I'd love to own this car.

    On these new Cadillacs, how good is the interior? I've been looking at some 2011-present CTS and ATS and they look pretty cheap from the screen. How good are the materials used?

    • @bnkwupt
      @bnkwupt 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The interior quality of the ELR is excellent. Leather, wood, carbon fiber, and Alcantara are everywhere. It definitely does not have the typical GM plastic interior feel to it. The design and layout is very nice, although the control layout for the infotainment and climate control is kind of busy.
