WEIRDLY, IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO DRIVE A CHEVY VOLT AND CADILLAC ELR

EV Channels Review

This video offers a first-time driving experience of the Chevrolet Volt (2015 Gen 1) and the Cadillac ELR (2016). The reviewer highlights the Volt's practicality and impressive range-extended EV technology, noting its comfortable ride and intuitive interface despite its age and mileage. Key positives include its efficient operation and the seamless integration of its generator. However, the seats are described as firm and uncomfortable. The Cadillac ELR, built on the same platform, is praised for its striking design and luxurious interior, with features like adaptive cruise control and a premium sound system. Despite its sporty aspirations and improved 2016 tuning, the ELR suffers from a clunky low-speed driving experience and a concerning issue where the combustion engine engages prematurely, suggesting a potential problem with the specific vehicle tested. While the ELR offers a more premium feel, the Volt is deemed the more sorted and practical option, especially considering its significantly lower purchase price.
