Announced during General Motors’ EV Day, the Cadillac Celestiq will be an electric luxury car that is hand-built in Michigan. The model will be made in extremely limited numbers and it’s designed to be a halo vehicle.

There’s no word on specifics at this point, but it appears the Celestiq was the mystery model that was teased earlier this week. Apparently shown in concept guise, the model featured a luxurious cabin with a squared off steering wheel that retracted into the dashboard when not in use. The car also had lounge-like seats, a floating center console and a freestanding, curved display that spanned the entire width of the dashboard.


Of course, flagship sedans are all about the rear seats and this is where the Celestiq should shine. As you can see, the images suggest the flagship will have two individual rear seats that are separated by a center console that features an integrated display. Speaking of displays, there are two massive screens mounted on the back of the front seats. Elsewhere, there’s premium leather upholstery, wood trim and metallic accents.

While GM is staying tight-lipped about the car, it should ride on the company’s third-generation EV platform and feature Ultium batteries. Given the Celestiq will be a statement for both Cadillac and GM, we can expect it to feature the best technology and equipment.

While nothing is official, the company has already confirmed they will offer battery packs with a capacity of up to 200 kWh. These will allow for ranges of 400 miles (644 km) or more. We also wouldn’t be surprised if the Celestiq features 800-volt battery technology and a 350 kW fast-charging capability. Both features will be found on GM’s upcoming electric pickups, but most of their future EVs will have 400-volt battery technology and a lower fast-charging capability of up to 200 kW. Of course, we should find out more about the Celestiq in the months and years ahead.
