Can the Cadillac Celestiq EV make GM’s luxury brand great again? Don’t rule it out

Next about three years after the Cadillac Celestiq presented the concept version of the house, GM has finally broadcast real things: Luxury and Gawk-At-Gawk-at-Gawk-at-Gawk-at-I have an electric vehicle.

But this is enough for the Cadillac so much home restore its position Like the “standard of world”? I spent a ride in an offer to find this behemot around Los Angeles one day.

The sliding behind the steering wheel of the new flag is a good start.

I am surrounded by a sparing skin – the back end, relaxed with the adjustable cushy seat on each road and then. The match is accurate and high as Richard Mille clock, and it has aesthetic aesthetics that are different from everything I touch. And still in 115 jobs, these parts were printed in 3D, including steering wheel, window switches, parts of console decor, and even some structural pieces.

Cadillac wanted to build a house with zero compromises. Battery package layout presented certain design problems.

The modules in the Billac Celestiq’s battery pack are not uniform. Unlike Lyriq, which is a flat battery pack, Celestiq has different configurations of modules in the battery pack, which are different heights. The modules under the front seats are about nine inches, but the bottom of the back passenger Footwelli is only six inches. Rear seats are nurtured with modules with 12 inches height.

Engineers had to place some modules under the central console to reach 111 kilowatts at 303 miles. The result is a shallow storage section, which is large enough to fit my wallet and glasses.

Cadillac Celestiq Home: Driver

The images I have received when I pilot Celestig, it was designed for the central console storage of the teenager. Here, on this elegant way, the dancing LED light signature, long nose and sculpture on the back end. In a city full of beautified beauties, real-agreement is different from the celesty.

I started on the rough streets of Hollywood, where the broken pavement and hatch covers are deliberately targeted. My 22-inch wheels are the tester shod – Although 23-inch wheels – and Michelin pilot Sport house tires are very few.

The car and the pavement resulting in this small rubber, often results in a hard walk, but Celestiq is a suitable air suspension to check sports. Large events like holes are undoubtedly known their presence, but the city is calm and smooth.

Don’t make a mistake, This car biggun. Cadillac Celestiq, two-door Chevrolet Silverado is a bigger trailer, a slightly more flexible with the rear steering wheel. Of course, this bad guy is a little difficult to find the street parking, but this car finds more self-valet.

To leave Hollywood, I visit the hills to see what 655 horsepower and 646 pound feet can do on a curve road. Here the magnetic walking control, also reacting to the road quickly, and the weight of the car to ensure a sense of confident control. Although the assistant roll management, the car feels straight in spite of the car zeal.

The steering wheel here is a little, but it is nicely and provides a new skill to conquer the brake rege. I find in Max Regen if I distinguish my throat right time, I should not hit the mechanical brakes before you start any corner. Weight still transmits to the front, so I have a grip to turn, but I’m buying free electronic at the same time.

I love it.

I raised a Dolby Atmos sound system spilled from 38 internal AKG speakers – there are four people who created a cool house with the sounds of a cool house, and there are four people who created a good enough home – goes to the highway. Of course, the GM’s Super Cruise Advanced Driver Help System here, so I remove my hands from the wheel and allow the car to traffic for a while.

Cadillac Celestiq has a house problem

And there is the biggest problem with Celestiq. All GM Electric vehicles that I do not necessarily do not mad at Google’s Apple Carplay and Google installed on Android Auto. Google maps are excellent in this vehicle, when you reach a place, when they offer charger stations and when necessary, make my range accurately predicts the batteries. I will not be able to safely get contact with my phone with my phone with my phone secure.

And not just in the celesty. Both Optiq and Escalade IQ, the process was Persplicety. There are more than one settings on the iPhone that should be correct, sometimes I have to re-contact again and re-communicate again and only I have a text that only includes.

High-level customers require simplicity and ease of use. This is not a smartphone integration system.

But at least screens look great.

Stretching the width of the stone, there is 55 inch high resolution goodness. Passenger flow takes their screens for media and internet trip and all climate control is on a small screen under the dash.

I would give my kingdom for some physical hvac buttons, but I will settle for a separate screen in such a car that I do not have to go through a bunch of menus to burn the air conditioner.

Massage seats are, of course, and remain a little longer than other luxury vehicles I drove. There is no heated and chilled cup holder, I think Cadillac Cadillac Cadillac Cadillac said Cadillac can really add a feature to add.

I dig glass roof with 20% transparency in any of the four zones. Every person in the car can correct how light the vehicle would like.

I do not sell 100% in power doors, because my mind only stands inside the car or goes to the worst scenario standing inside the car. Again, a kind of cool and door to push the brake pedal is close to the automatic. There is also an icon on the bottom screen that will close the doors, so passengers can access high technological, low-efficient bands.

Bespoke Cadillac Home Experience

Each Celestig Michigan’s General Motors will be done by hand in the Global Technical Center.

I took a little taste of my favorite colors and materials to choose the most of my favorite colors. Everything was a little bigger than what could be 50 shadows, but in the tricoat of my dreams, I went with the bright blue in Kingfisher Tricoat, imaginary blue and a fantom blue emphasis with the bright blue in the transparent gray and Bahia oranges. What can I say? I dig blue and orange.

As the day progresses, I treated the Cadillac Concierge service where customers will live when they pass through the purchase process. Someone has always been a cold diet of Dr. Potter and lunch choices that I always have a my immature culinary pleasure. In other words, there were Tater Tots for dinner and I don’t even ashamed about it.

Celestiq clients will likely use their concieces to the field logistics inquiries and will not want a large amount of carbon and caffeine, the point, each car purchase will ensure that every car purchase.

There is not much in the Uber-Luxury home market. The main competition of Cadillac Celestiq can be rolls-Royce Specter home in rolls with a cool star night title. Again, the celestig sits alone in the Ultra luxury, the battery-electrical sector.

Bentley does not have a full battery-electric proposal, simply hybrids and even Mercedes can also get a Maybach EQS SUV, although it has not fully electrified Maybach S-Class Sedan.

If you want someone in your garage, good luck. Cadillac, a limited run of 25 vehicles for 2025 and is all spoken. The company will not give concrete numbers for 2026, only the production will be struck Two celestigs a day.
