Tonight, Cadillac unveiled a concept that represents the pinnacle of wealth, opulence and generation of General Motors’ luxury brand. And, of course, everything is electric.
Each Celestiq will be built, we say by hand, to order, and long-term homeowners will be able to customize them to the point of making them almost exclusive and exclusive.
“Celestiq is unlike any previous Cadillac and the visitor’s delight is just as exceptional,” said Rory Harvey, Cadillac’s global vice president. “Each vehicle is an exclusive expression of its owner, leveraging cutting-edge technologies that make driving private and rewarding. “
Celestiq is expected to go on sale in December 2023, with an initial value of over $300,000 and expanding from there depending on the point of customization.

On the outside, it would possibly be unique, however, the Cadillac Celestiq is still recommended, at least in part, through the brand’s soon-to-be-hit Lyriq electric SUV. With an elegant and futuristic profile, the Celestiq creates a harmonious surface creating continuity between the grille, windshield and soft signatures.
All visual “steel” surfaces on the exterior of the vehicle are steel, in addition to the aluminum grille, brushed aluminum frame walls, tilting panel, taillight and headlight edge, and brushed steel tailgate frame openings.
To do justice to the avant-garde and futuristic vision evoked through the silhouette of the Celestiq, it features several cutting-edge technologies, including:
– Power door opens/closers: handles give buttons for a smoother appearance;
– Choreographed softness: As soon as the owner approaches, the Celestiq begins its soft show;
– Materials: Several outdoor spaces are made of carbon fiber.
– Choice of tires: To adapt to the weight and length of the vehicle, the wheels will be 23 inches, and will be available in several colors. Michelin will offer sidewall wheels with Cadillac design specially designed for this model.
Interior Here, too, the sleek, minimalist aesthetic creates a purely futuristic spectacle for the Celestiq. The materials are handcrafted and decided by the buyer, while the immersive interior embodies Cadillac’s vision of exclusivity and personalization.
“With Celestiq, we’ve been pushing classic American luxury into a new and fashionable space,” said Tristan Murphy, director of interior design at Celestiq.
Some notable internal features:
– Fixed fixed glass roof, with multicolored ambience that adds a smooth choreography of 450 LEDs that enters the cabin through the constant glass roof of four zones;
– Many handmade and custom-made elements;
– A 55-inch infotainment extending from A-pillar to A-pillar;
– At the rear, a 12. 6-inch screen fixed to the backrest of the front seat;
– Advanced air conditioning system, the passenger can adjust his domain in various ways;
– Rich sound experience with 41 speakers that will immerse drivers and passengers in a sound environment worthy of a concert hall.
Under the hood, the Ultium platform supports a 111 kWh battery with a two-motor four-wheel drive formula to deliver approximately 600 hp and 640 lb-ft of torque. GM also claims an estimated diversity of 483 km on a full load. They promise a 0-100 km/h in 3. 8 seconds.
Ken Althouse, Celestiq’s lead progression engineer, said the vehicle “continues Cadillac’s 120-year history of leveraging the ultimate generation of complex cars in the service of luxury. The inventions Celestiq uses to deliver its driving isolation are the pinnacle of Cadillac’s automotive achievements. “»
