THE CADILLAC ELR CHANGED A TON BETWEEN 2014 AND 2016 - FULL COMPARISON

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive comparison between the 2014 and 2016 Cadillac ELR, highlighting the significant updates made for the later model year. The reviewer emphasizes the rarity of the 2016 model, with only 543 produced, making it a desirable find. Key improvements in the 2016 version include a 29% horsepower and 26% torque boost from the redesigned electric drive system, tweaked handling, steering, and braking, and an updated Cadillac CUE system with Apple CarPlay. The 4G connectivity in the 2016 model is also a notable advantage over the 2014's 3G. While both cars share a similar luxurious interior and striking design, the 2016 model offers a more engaging driving experience. The reviewer notes that despite the improvements, the ELR's high initial price point was a major barrier to sales, making both model years exceptional value on the used market. The video also touches on the Voltec technology, the car's limited practicality as a two-door coupe with a small rear seat, and the differences in electric vs. gas usage compared to the Chevrolet Volt.
