• Cadillac took the wraps off the Celestiq electric vehicle, which is its super high-end model. 
• The long, low sedan will retail for around $300,000. Each will be custom-built according to the customer’s preferences. 
• It boasts a range of 300-miles. Production will begin next year. 

The brand that created the American luxury car is now making an electric yacht. 

General Motors officially revealed the Cadillac Celestiq on Monday after months of anticipation. This ultra-luxury, zero-emission sedan is meant to compete with Bentley and Rolls-Royce. It is part of GM’s ambitious plan for electric vehicles to be sold by 2035. 

The Celestiq will be priced at approximately $300,000, including delivery and option fees. Buyers can add to this figure with the assistance of a personal concierge, who will guide them through every step of the process. Each Celestiq is hand-built according to customer specifications. The brand will also limit annual production to an “extremely low volume.” Production begins in December 2023. 

A sedan with an exaggerated, concept car styling and a silhouette unlike any other on the road is available for a high price. It is a long sedan with a fastback rear end that reminds of EVs such as the. Porsche TaycanAnd Mercedes-Benz EQS. 

The interior of the Celestiq is clean and sleek. Cadillac wasn’t shy about introducing screens to the Celestiq: Five of them. The display that spans the dashboard and is 55 inches wide, is composed of two screens. It is controlled by a crystal rotating dial. 

There’s also a tilted “Front Command Center” attached to the center console. Back-seat passengers also have a “Rear Command Center” along with 12.6 inch screens mounted to the seatbacks.

Celestiq interior has ambient lighting, plenty of leather, and a tintable glass roof. There are four zones on the roof that can be independently controlled. 

Cadillac claims that buyers can expect to drive 300 miles from a 111-watt battery. Celestiqs will be equipped with all-wheel drive thanks to two motors producing 600 horsepower and 640 pound feet of torque. Cadillac estimates that the car can reach 60 MPH in 3.8 seconds. To help customers navigate tight spaces like parking lots, Cadillac has included rear-wheel steering. 

The Celestiq is the first piece of a broad-ranging electrification strategy by GM. It promises to bring EVs in a variety of body styles and prices to US roads. The Chevrolet Equinox Electric EV will start at $30,000.
