The Celestiq has finally received more information from Cadillac, and it is clear that this electric vehicle puts comfort above pure power. The dual-motor 600HP powertrain, all-wheel drive, and a 111kWh Ultium battery pack are now known to be features of the custom-built car. The combination has a sprint time of 3.8 seconds from 0 to 60 miles per hour and a range of about 300 miles. In comparison to vehicles like the Mercedes-Maybach S Class, Cadillac claims that it is one of the fastest cars 'in the segment.' Owners of Tesla Model S Plaid or Lucid Air won't feel envious of them. Instead, comfort is emphasised; in fact, this might be among the gentler-riding electric cars you can get.

The Celestiq blends the responsive Magnetic Ride Control taken from the CT5-V Blackwing with the suppleness of adaptive air suspension, which is common in luxury vehicles. Active Roll Control, a 'Cadillac first,' produces a more stable ride during corners, and special 23-inch wheels and tyres guarantee both accurate handling and less noise from the road. Although this vehicle boasts performance cues like an active rear spoiler and 'out-of-phase' rear steering that boosts low-speed agility, track days are not its intended use.

The cabin is not so cleverly designed to spoil drivers who would otherwise spring for cars like the Mercedes EQS, as was mentioned in July. However, you can also anticipate a 38-speaker AKG sound system with spatial audio, three external speakers, and active noise cancellation to mute the outside world. The 55-inch dash display and variable-tint 'smart glass' roof remain the distinguishing features. Along with the previously mentioned Ultra Cruise hands-free driving system, 12.6-inch passenger display screens, extensive LED lighting, and a new camera system with crash recording and theft detection are also on the horizon.

The Celestiq is now anticipated to go into production in December 2023 and will cost $30,000 'north.' This is targeted firmly at extremely wealthy buyers who want to make a statement – even those who may have a chauffeur do the driving – more so than the Hummer EV.

If you want an electric Cadillac that is somewhat accessible, you'll have to go to the Lyriq. If the Celestiq and other models are much out of your price range, GM is also producing more economical Ultium-based EVs like Chevy's future Silverado pickup and Equinox SUV. This way, you are not left out.
