Cadillac is almost ready to show us its vision of American, electric luxury, and that means that this is probably the last time we’ll have to show you teaser photos of the Celestiq before its official unveiling later this month. The automaker shared new photos of the vehicle’s interior and some revealing pictures of its exterior, too. The new shots reveal a decidedly luxurious and tech-filled interior.
The new photos show a plethora of
rear-seat screens located in both the central armrest and on the backs of the
front seats. No longer unusual in luxury automotive circles, it certainly does
place the Celestiq in the realm of Germany’s luxury giants like the Mercedes
S-Class. The view down the center of the car’s interior also shows a similar
touchscreen between the front seat occupants, as well as a massive screen on
the dash that indicates that charging the EV from 80 to 100 percent will only
take 10 minutes.
A shot of the back of the car also gives
us one of our best looks yet at how the roofline of the Celestiq will interact
with the rear end. The sloping roofline features the hints of coupe styling
that are so popular today, and the extended taillights only exaggerate the
appearance.
The front end, meanwhile, appears to have
no traditional grille, but a lit up solid section instead, no doubt enabled by
the vehicle’s electric powertrain. Based on the Ultium platform, the luxury car
will share its underpinnings with the GMC Hummer and other upcoming GM EVs.
The Cadillac Celestiq will be handbuilt at
GM’s Warren Tech Center. The automaker is expected to make fewer than 500 of
these “one-of-a-kind, ultra-luxury” vehicles, which are likely to have a
six-figure price tag. We’ll find out more on July 22 when the vehicle is
officially unveiled.
