Cadillac CELESTIQ Preview

What To Expect

Cadillac is looking to become the final word in luxury, again. But, this time, with electric vehicles. The all-new 2024 Cadillac CELESTIQ is set to arrive as a sedan twin to the LYRIQ EV SUV. The CELESTIQ will utilize General Motors’ Ultium platform and batteries.

The 2024 CELESTIQ features a bold, high-end design that matches the Lyriq EV, but in a sedan body style. The exterior features a large amount of aluminum, which can be found on the fenders, grille, rocker panels, trunk lining, and trim around the lighting. Look past the CELESTIQ’s futuristic design and the sedan has plenty of elements of past Cadillacs like the Flying Goddess hood ornament that’s carved into frosted glass trim on the front quarter panels. Dramatic lighting elements, an elongated body, and a rounded rear end result in a unique look.

Cadillac has merged the future with the past with the CELESTIQ’s interior. The dashboard is essentially a giant curved screen that sits atop a simple dashboard, while an additional screen is located by the lower portion of the center console. Bright leather upholstery, a large-diameter steering wheel, metal accents, and chairs that are modeled after the Eames chairs from the ‘50s are throwbacks to the past. Because of the CELESTIQ’s size, the sedan has an enormous interior with a generous amount of space for four.

Technology is a major part of the 2024 CELESTIQ’s appeal. The sedan has a stunning 55-inch HD display that spans the entire width of the dashboard. It’s actually comprised of two separate screens that are housed in a single pane of glass. The 55-inch display is just one of five screens in the sedan. There’s an 11-inch touchscreen at the front, a rear console-mounted 8-inch touchscreen, and two 12.6-inch displays in the seatbacks. The sedan comes with built-in Google, which includes Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play.

2024 Cadillac CELESTIQ Engine & Specs

All CELESTIQ models will come with dual electric motors for roughly 600 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is standard, while the sedan comes with a 111-kWh battery pack. GM claims that the sedan has an estimated range of 300 miles. The sedan will be able to get to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. When plugged into a DC fast charger, the Celestiq can gain 78 miles of range in 10 minutes.

2024 Cadillac CELESTIQ Safety

Cadillac will pack the CELESTIQ with an extensive list of safety features, but the main draw is General Motors’ Ultra Cruise system. It’s a more advanced take on Super Cruise that will work in 95% of driving situations, while Super Cruise only works on mapped highways. Other safety features should include automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, remote auto park, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning, lane keeping assist, and lane departure warning.

2024 Cadillac CELESTIQ Price

Cadillac claims that pricing for the sedan will start at $340,000, but each vehicle is built to a customer’s specifications, so pricing can vary wildly. Availability is by waitlist only.

2024 Cadillac CELESTIQ Release Date

Production of the 2024 Cadillac CELESTIQ has begun, with the manufacturer confirming they have started production of model 1 of 1. This hand-built beauty is completely custom and won’t be seen on showroom floors. GM Authority sources indicate that the automaker is planning to produce between 100 and 150 units annually.

With a starting price tag of more than $300,000, the CELESTIQ won’t have a lot of competition. Other high-end electric vehicles include the Rolls-Royce Spectre, Mercedes-Benz EQSLucid Air, and Tesla Model S.
