According to Cadillac, the exterior of the Celestiq is inspired by the brand’s heritage sedans, like the 1950s Eldorado Brougham. The Celestiq takes a more futuristic look with its low stance, elongated hood, sloped roofline and unique lighting elements. The fastback also bears a strong family resemblance to its sibling Lyriq SUV: The vehicle shares the same grille design, vertically oriented LED headlights, heavily sculpted profile and L-shaped taillights that extend into the C-pillar and are visible from the profile.

Photos of the Celestiq interior show a premium cabin with room for four. A large center console covers from front to rear and houses control screens for various vehicle functions and rotary dial controls for entertainment. The obvious attraction of this “show car”, is the massive 55-inch LED screen that stretches the entire width of the dash in front. If the large screen seems like a driving distraction, Cadillac has a fix: A digital curtain allows front passengers to interact with the screen while blocking content from the driver’s view. The occupants of the second row get two large LED screens integrated into the seatbacks with separate controls.
Also adjustable is the Celestiq glass roof, which is expected to offer a four-quadrant suspension system that allows each occupant to set their own level of transparency.
Cadillac said the Celestiq will also offer GM’s new Ultra Cruise system with Level 2 partial automation. The system expands on the automaker’s semi-autonomous Super Cruise hands-free system with more advanced driving functions like automatic lane changes, color changes and parking maneuvers.

Pricing for the production model of the Celestiq hasn’t been shared yet, but buyers shouldn’t expect it to make the cheapest EV list. An Automotive News report estimates the price of the Celestiq will fall anywhere from $300,000 to $350,000, with production expected to begin in late 2023. The vehicle will likely compete with premium electric sedans like the Lucid Air and the Mercedes Benz EQS.
