A few months ago, Cadillac officially unveiled its latest “show car” called the Celestiq, which showed the world the manufacturer’s ambition to enter the ultra-luxury segment with an electric sedan. At that time, few could believe that the company would launch mass production of this car in the foreseeable future, but they were wrong – today, October 18, the American automotive industry giant officially introduced the production version of a luxury vehicle that will go on sale in the near future. And this car will easily leave behind the best representatives of the segment.
The Celestiq premium sedan has inherited the advantage of manual assembly and impressive customization from competitors like Bentley or Rolls-Royce. Thanks to the fact that General Motors (the parent company) decided to use 115 3D printed parts in a new electric vehicle, a potential buyer will be able to create a dream car in a special design application. For example, you can choose an individual body color, choose the type and color of leather, design, size and color of rims, as well as many interesting elements in the cabin. You can make a unique inscription on the steering wheel, add decorative elements or change something in the cabin so that the sedan looks even more expensive and rich.
At the same time, the power plant, of course, is standard for all cars, no matter what body color or interior trim the user ordered. The car boasts two electric motors (one for each axle) with a total capacity of 600 horsepower. Due to this, the sedan, which is certainly designed for driving with a driver and the maximum level of comfort, is able to accelerate from zero to hundreds in 3.8 seconds. That’s faster than some multi-million dollar supercars. And this is taking into account the fact that the Celestiq is longer than the Escalade!
Unfortunately, this car cannot boast of a record in terms of trip duration – only 480 kilometers on a single charge are announced, but this distance is “on paper” – in fact, we should expect a comfortable 350 kilometers. Yes, the car supports fast charging – you can charge the battery for 125 kilometers in 10 minutes, but such charges are very rare even in the USA. And to make it easier for the driver to find charging stations, a giant 55-inch display is installed in the cabin, on which you can display Google Maps and find the right charger with the support of the necessary technology there.
In addition, there are three more displays in the cabin – one is responsible for climate control, and two additional ones are located in the back of the seats, so that the passengers in the back row, for whose comfort this car was created, could watch movies, listen to music or study various information on the road. . I would also like to note that the interior of the vehicle is covered with natural blue leather, and quite cozy rugs of the same color are located under the feet. They are made from a material that looks like sheep’s wool (maybe that’s what it is), and all the elements that look like metal are actually made of metal – it’s not painted plastic, like many brands.
The manufacturer will not delay the release of the Cadillac Celestiq – the first car will be released in December 2023, in just a year they plan to produce about 500 cars. The price of the basic version is 300 thousand dollars, but this is the price before customization and making various changes by the client. Accordingly, the final cost of the Cadillac Celestiq can exceed 400 thousand, since, of course, no one buys such cars in the basic configuration.
