• Cadillac Celestia debuts in 2024. The company’s most luxurious and pricey car.
  • The Celestiq is a custom-built four-seat electric hatchback.
  • Cadillac’s 300-mile, 600-horsepower cars cost $340,000.

Cadillac Celestiq will cost about $340,000. According to GM Authority, Cadillac’s Chief Marketing Officer Melissa Grady Dias revealed the car’s starting price on social media, excluding the destination charge. Cadillac still needs to respond to Car & Driver’s price request.

When did Cadillac last reign supreme worldwide? If you’re like us and have to call a friend to find out, put your grandparents’ house number on fast dial. The 2024 Celestiq, a “moonshot” model the firm calls one of the most important in its 120-year history, is the company’s attempt to return to its previous glory as a true luxury coachbuilder.

Cadillac’s Celestiq concept car, shown in July, is similar to the production car so viewers won’t be startled by its differences. Cadillac just removed the concept car’s camera-fed mirrors.

First, a recap: The Celestia is a custom-built, electric, avant-garde automobile that seats four. General Motors’ Ultimum battery technology forms its unique platform.

Royal Caddy

Despite annual raises, blue-collar employees can’t afford this Caddy. That’s the point. Cadillac built this ambitious car to migrate to all-electric vehicles by 2030, reconnect with its past, and rebrand.

The Celestial starts at around $340,000 and rises depending on customization. Cadillac will only construct a few cars at GM’s Global Technical Center in Warren, Michigan, each year. Only waitlisted people can get those spots.

Celestiq—what does it mean? Not important. Its non-numerical name is essential.

It supports Cadillac’s strategy of adding “qi” to its electric car titles as the Cadillac Lyriq SUV recently did. That’s better than CT7.

Timeline Drama

Celestia sizes are dramatic. Do you see? Saying it’s beautiful is an insult if you’ve seen it.

The Cadillac Celestia looks long and low-slung in Santorini Blue, one of its 200 exterior colours. Colour matching isn’t included. Its windscreen leans forward more than the current Corvette.

The Celestiq has smooth curves, unlike the Chevy race vehicle. Its large carbon fibre body panels have nearly no lines but appear smooth.

No crown trim or door knobs. Celestiq lights up when the key fob is within 15 feet of the driver. The driver can then open the sizable power-operated front and back doors with secret B-pillar buttons. The sequence reportedly uses Cadillac’s first “digital micromirror” headlights containing 1.3 million pixels.

The Celestiq’s grille and hockey-stick tail lights resemble the Lyrics, but other sections demonstrate Cadillac’s unique production procedures. Celestiq’s underbody has six massive metal castings. Each should replace 30–40 standard parts.

Each model contains over 300 factory-made parts, unlike traditional pressing processes that bend and fold metal like origami. Cadillac overdid Celestia 3-D printing. The EV includes 115 3-D printed pieces, including the steering wheel and interior decor.

Home is a blank canvas

Cadillac meticulously designs the Celestiq. It’s a “blank canvas” with a simple design. The company sought to highlight interior materials because personalization options are unlimited.

One Cadillac employee stated it depends on how far you fall. As expected, leather flooring is available. You can write on the cast aluminium dash, metal door sill, floor mat, and other trim elements.

If you like the Cadillac Escalade’s 38-inch curved OLED panels, prepare to be amazed. The Celestiq has 55 inches of glass between its front pillars.

Two identical screens are under the glass. Driver and front passenger stare at each other. The passenger side’s privacy feature prevents drivers from side-eyeing movies.

The Celestial also has an 11.0-inch tablet in the front centre console. The middle panel has a volume knob, rotary controller, and no buttons. Phew.

An 8-inch touchscreen controls the Celestiq’s rear seats. Independent rear seats can be adjusted in several ways. The Gentherm four-zone climate system lets you regulate the temperature and cushion temperature.

The Celestiq’s features range from Mercedes-Benz S-class to Caddy-priced. Celestiq’s bright glass roof allows four light management options.

Ultra Cruise, GM’s hands-free driving aid, comes with every Celestiq. This system uses over two million kilometres of US and Canadian roadways, including motorways. Ultra Cruise uses cameras, radars, and lasers.

Cadillac’s top

These massive EVs have air suspension and fourth-generation magnetorheological shocks. Cadillac’s Celestiq isn’t just a vast, comfortable passenger. The Celestiq has rear-wheel steering and variable-ratio electric steering. Cadillac pioneered active anti-roll bars.

Each frame has five links. The Celestiq’s summer Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires are on massive 23-inch wheels that connect the Caddy frame to the ground.

The Celestiq’s two electric motors provide 600 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque. Technology allows Cadillac’s Celestiq all-wheel-drive to reach 60 mph in 3.8 seconds.

Cadillac claims the Celestiq’s 111-kWh battery pack can go 300 miles on a charge if you keep your right footlight. (Cadillac hasn’t started the pack’s actual capacity.) Cadillac arranged the Celestiq’s battery cells horizontally to maximise space.

The 2024 Cadillac Celestiq, an ultra-luxury automobile, will be on sale in December 2023. It’s rare because it’s unique. That was Cadillac’s Celestiq objective.
