The [luxury American automaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadillac-2026-electric-vehicle) and iconic department store have teamed up to release a special version of Cadillac's [plug-in hybrid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ace-classic-electric). What makes the ELR Saks Fifth Avenue so special? For starters, the car will feature exclusive [White Diamond](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/police-scooter) paint and will come with a souped-up 240-volt charging station that is professionally installed. The aforementioned charging station comes complete with a concierge service staffed by folks Cadillac says are "trained in white-glove customer care." These upscale technicians function outside of dealerships and provide advice on everything from battery care to scheduled maintenance. All of this fanciness comes at a cost, of course. The Cadillac ELR Saks Fifth Avenue sells for $89,500 and only 100 will be available. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Collaborations:** There is an opportunity for luxury collaborations between high-end fashion brands and luxury automakers to create exclusive products for affluent consumers. - **Personalized Charging Station Services:** Offering personalized charging station services staffed by trained technicians outside of dealerships could be an innovative service for upscale electric vehicle owners. - **Limited Edition Electric Vehicles:** Limited edition versions of electric vehicles with exclusive features could be a trend that appeals to affluent consumers looking for unique and luxurious transportation options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Automotive:** Luxury automakers have an opportunity to collaborate with high-end fashion brands to create exclusive products for affluent consumers. - **Electric Vehicle Charging Services:** Companies that offer personalized charging station services staffed by trained technicians outside of dealerships could differentiate themselves in the electric vehicle market. - **High-end Fashion Retail:** High-end fashion retailers can partner with luxury automakers to offer exclusive versions of electric vehicles that appeal to affluent consumers looking for unique and luxurious transportation options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Revamped Sleek Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyriq.md) - [Bespoke Electric Convertibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sollei-concept.md) - [All-Pink Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-cadillac.md) - [Heritage-Honoring Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadillac-lyriqv.md) - [Limited-Time Car-Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escalade-iq.md) - [Endless Customization Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-cadillac-ct5v-blackwing.md) - [Luxury Long-Range Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadillac-escalade-iq.md) - [Special Edition Electric Suvs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-lyriq.md) - [Expansive Car Dining Escapades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadillac-of-reservations.md)
