Cadillac has spent the last twenty years or so trying to outdo the Germans. The division has honed its performance game to the point where most critics agree that the latest Blackwing versions of Cadillac’s CT5 and the CT4 have bettered its rivals from the Fatherland. Although sales have been good and have brought younger buyers to the Wreath and Crest division, they aren’t really “proper” Cadillacs in the traditional sense. That’s all changed now as the Cadillac Celestiq EV flagship has entered production.

Cadillacs Used to be Huge Sedans

Back then, Cadillacs were huge sedans that oozed a “The Standard Of The World,” vibe, not BMW clones. They came close with the recent CT6 sedan but, that’s for the Chinese market only now. Then there’s the Escalade, it has the right curb presence and is the big daddy Caddy of SUVs. Because of the Escalade’s success, many Cadillac fans were skeptical of a no-excuses flagship returning anytime soon.

The Cadillac of Cadillacs Has Arrived

Here’s the good news, the Cadillac of Cadillacs has arrived, and it’s bespoke, electric, and utterly breathtaking. Meet the 2024 Celestiq, a rolling hand-crafted masterpiece that transcends plebian automobiles and enters the rarefied air of OEM custom cars.

The Celestiq Won’t Blend Into the Crowd

Built at the GM Technical Center, each Celestiq is a testament to meticulous detail and cutting-edge Ultium technology. Its sculpted form, an amalgamation of curves and sharp angles, pushes the envelope of design, with its unique Cadillac design cues. Some may call it avant-garde, and some may think it looks like a four-door Jensen Interceptor, but in today’s automotive landscape. the Celestiq won’t blend into the crowd.

The Cadillac Celestiq EV Flagship Has Entered Production with a Beast of an Electric Drivetrain

Beneath the voluptuous sheet metal lies a beast of an electric drivetrain. With 600 horses on tap, the Celestiq sprints from 0 to 60 in a neck-snapping 3.8 seconds, belying its huge size and weight. Yet, this isn’t just about raw power; it’s about a seamless, silent stream of electrons, that redefines Cadillac.

A Cocoon of Luxury

Inside, the Celestiq is a quiet cocoon of luxury, where technology and texture intertwine. A 55-inch, panoramic OLED display stretches across the dash, a digital canvas showcasing information and entertainment in high-resolution clarity. Every material and finish is meticulously chosen to realize the customer’s notion of bespoke luxury.

It’s Like Joining an Exclusive Club

Buying a Celestiq isn’t just about acquiring a car; it’s about joining an exclusive club, a community of high rollers who appreciate the finer things in life. With production capped at a mere 100-150 units per year, you won’t see yourself on every corner.

The Future of High-End Luxury EVs

The Cadillac Celestiq is the future of high-end luxury EVs and it’s not a concept anymore. It’s here, now, ready to redefine the very idea of what a sedan can be. It’s a love letter to craftsmanship and old-school Cadillac virtues. If you squint, you can see the reflection of the 1958 Eldorado Brougham in the Celestiq’s paint.
