Cadillac ELR data analysis

How Cadillac ELR overall length varies

Across 2 configurations recorded for the 2015 through 2016 Cadillac ELR, overall length runs from 186 inches to 186 inches. The strongest figure belongs to the 2015 Cadillac ELR (ELR COUPE) at 186 inches, and the weakest to the 2016 car (ELR COUPE) at 186 inches — a spread of 0%. The narrow spread means any year of the Cadillac ELR in this table behaves much like the others, so you can shop on price, condition and mileage rather than chasing a particular model year.

What changed for 2016

Average overall length for the 2016 Cadillac ELR is 186 inches, against 186 inches for the 2015 car — it held flat. A carry-over year like this usually means no powertrain or structural change, so an older example is the cheaper way into the same specification.

How to read this Cadillac ELR data

This page lists every 2015 through 2016 Cadillac ELR record we hold for this measurement — 2 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.

Where these Cadillac ELR figures come from

Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Cadillac ELR record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.

Will the Cadillac ELR fit your garage and parking space?

Measured against a standard single garage door (8 ft wide, 7 ft tall, 20 ft deep stall) and a standard US surface parking space (9 ft x 18 ft). Measure your own opening before buying — older garages are frequently narrower.

Garage door width

Fits

72.8 in wide (body only, mirrors folded) — about 23.2 in of total clearance, so roughly 12 in per side.

Garage door height

Clears

55.9 in tall — 28.1 in of headroom before roof rails, antennas, or a roof box are added.

Parking space

Fits a standard stall

185.8 in long leaves 30.2 in to spare in an 18 ft space, and 35.2 in of side clearance in a 9 ft one.

Its wheelbase (105.9 in) accounts for about 57% of overall length. A higher share generally means shorter overhangs — better approach and departure clearance on driveways and ramps, and more cabin space for the same parking footprint.
