Cadillac Unveils Teaser for Ultra-Luxury EV Celestiq

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Cadillac unveiled the ‘Celestiq (CELESTIQ)’, designed to set a new standard for luxury EVs. The Celestiq embodies Cadillac’s commitment to reinventing the possibilities of pure electric vehicle design and technology.

According to Cadillac on the 13th, on the 12th (local time in the U.S.), the company revealed its ultra-luxury pure electric vehicle Celestiq show car at the world’s largest IT and electronics exhibition, ‘CES 2021’.

The Celestiq is based on the modular Ultium Battery Platform, which features design flexibility through various battery cell arrangements.

The Celestiq design and engineering team leveraged the spatial advantages of the Ultium platform to create a vehicle with a low center of gravity and a dramatic rear proportion that commands presence.

In addition to a conventional all-wheel-drive system, a four-wheel steering system that allows steering of both the front and rear wheels will be applied, and a frameless full-size glass sunroof is planned to be installed.

Along with this, the Celestiq introduces a new level of sophisticated, integrated technology that provides a customized experience for both driver and passengers. The Celestiq features a quadrant SPD (suspended particle device) smart glass roof that divides the sunroof glass into four sections, allowing free adjustment of roof transparency. Each occupant can individually set the transparency of their smart glass section.

Cadillac expects the Celestiq to be the industry’s first vehicle equipped with a quadrant SPD smart glass roof.

The Celestiq offers individual displays with privacy features on the front instrument panel, enabling the driver and front passenger to enjoy separate displays, while rear seat passengers can independently use entertainment screens.

Additionally, the console screen between the front and rear seats allows rear passengers to separately configure their entertainment display settings, providing all occupants with their own personalized space.

A Cadillac representative stated, “The newly unveiled Celestiq show car symbolizes Cadillac’s pioneering spirit as the future flagship sedan and focuses on setting the standard for luxury EVs.”
