Plug-In Hybrid Luxury Coupes

This 2014 Cadillac ELR is the First Plug-In Hybrid for the Automaker

— March 3, 2014 — Autos
The 2014 Cadillac ELR is an alternatively powered car that is beautiful on the inside and out. It oozes luxury and sophistication in every detail. The 2014 Cadillac ELR is a plug-in hybrid coupe that was originally a concept car.

The car is $76,000, Cadillac's priciest model. It is still $20,000 cheaper than its counterpart the Porsche Panamera plug-in hybrid. Although this is a lot of money for a vehicle, it is definitely more than just a car, it is a work of art.

The 2014 Cadillac ELR is meant to captivate a demographic. The interior has suede microfiber, leather, chrome, carbon fiber filigree and dark accent wood. The car has a 10 channel Bose stereo system that will blow you away, as well as a wireless ignition. If I could afford this car it would definitely be on my wish list.
