The upcoming all-electric Cadillac Celestiq flagship luxury sedan will debut early next year, GM Authority has learned.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the Cadillac Celestiq is now on track for a reveal early in the 2022 calendar year. As such, the Cadillac Celestiq may be revealed at the upcoming 2022 Consumer Electronics Show, set to take place between Wednesday, January 5th, and Saturday, January 8th. Alternatively, the luxury marque’s new flagship sedan may debut at a separate event altogether.
The Cadillac Celestiq was originally scheduled for a reveal in April summer. However, as a result of complications stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the reveal was pushed back to the summer months of 2021. Later, the reveal was pushed back yet again, but now, it looks to be set for a reveal early next year.
As a reminder, the Cadillac Celestiq will be built atop the GM BEV3 all-electric platform, incorporating both the Ultium battery technology and Ultium drive motor technology. Styled after the sleek Cadillac Escala concept, the Cadillac Celestiq will make its presence known with large exterior dimensions, as well as an elegant fascia and fastback profile.
The cabin space will come equipped with sumptuous luxury in a 2+2 seating arrangement, plus real wood trim and leather upholstery. The infotainment spec will incorporate a wide digital screen stretched across the dash, plus additional screens for passengers.
As GM Authority exclusively covered previously, the Cadillac Celestiq will also incorporate an SPD-SmartGlass roof, which will allow individual passengers to control the opacity of their respective roof section to either let in more light or block light.
With top-shelf appointment, style, and technology, the Cadillac Celestiq will lead the way forward for the luxury marque. It’ll also have a hand-built quality to it that will justify its positioning at the top of Cadillac’s vehicle lineup. Pricing is expected to be around $200,000, with production taking place at the GM Factory Zero facility in Michigan.

Nonsense
LINCOLN are you watching CADILLAC? Although it’s as high as a Rolls-Royce GM is still building sedans
The Ford fanboys that troll this site aren’t going to like that comment very much. Lol. Cadillac has left Lincoln way back in the dust.
Everyone has left Lincoln in the dust…..
I don’t care if they like it or not CADILLAC is building something for all customers, everyone don’t want a crossover station wagon suv, here me LINCOLN?
I’ll believe it when I see it. As stated in the article, first it was supposed to be this past April, then July/August.
Not going to hold my breath because at this rate they will just delay it again
Very excited to see what it looks like, but I’m sad that it’ll be a Bentley rival in terms of price. I just want an electric CTS if I’m honest.
Bentley have cache’ but if the CELESTIQ matches Rolls for luxury, quality, fit-n-finish and grandeur at a lower asking price, that car will far exceed customer’s expectations. Also, there will be new technology that Rolls and Bentley will not have.
Rolls royce cost about $500,000, the Celestiq will be costing around $200,000. Mercedes Maybach s class starting price is around $185,000 and the S680 with a V12 starts at $215,000.
It’s the Cadillac flagship we’ve been waiting decades for. Massive. Stunning. Hand-Built. It’s a throwback to Cadillac’s heyday.
The Cadillac CELESTIQ will be hand-built in low volumes (500 per year) at the GM Tech Center, not Factory ZERO. Production starts in 2023.
This reminds me of Cadillac’s 1957-60 (but especially the American-hand-built ’57 and ’58) Eldorado Broughams that had just about every conceivable luxury included and sold for roughly $13,500 (today’s equivalent of about ($140,000). It’s been a long time waiting for a worthy successor but it looks like we’re finally getting one.
Order me 2 please
If Lucid can pre-sell thousands of their 100k+ cars, I would think Cadillac can sell a few hundred of these. Just hope it keeps the massive power of the Hummer motors with the looks of the Escala. Not holding my breath though on seeing it at CES as I heard that was exclusively supposed to be for the Silverado E. We will see…
The design of the CELESTIQ is a mix of the LYRIQ and Escala, with a semi-sportback rear end that’s very similar to the Hudson Hornet from the 1950s. It will be loaded with futuristic technology and be GM’s first Ultra Cruise equipped vehicle.
I had to take a look of what the Hudson looked like. Too bad that company was short-lived from 1900s to 1950s.
Enough with the sedans. GM doesn’t play in the same sandbox as MB (S Class), BMW (7 series), Audi (A8). Electrify your bread and butter XT5. Work your way down to XT4. If you’re going to do sedans, try CT4/5. No one is going to buy your six-figure S-Class competitor.
S-class competitor? Someone’s out of the loop. That’s not Celestiq’s intended competition… try Rolls/Bentley.
And do tell how you’ve managed an early evaluation of the car… perhaps you could share objectively what it was you liked least.
Wow. They’ve really jumped the shark then.
Lol Jesus Christ you are saying this is like a rolls or Bentley?
You do realize the pictures in this article are fake, right Ken? Celestiq has not been revealed.
GMI really needs to do a better job labeling their imaginary drawings because there are lemmings among us who tend to believe everything they see.
I’m not talking about the pictures I’m talking about people thinking this will compete against Bentley or rolls.
Now you are, your comment couldn’t have been referencing anything else. Virtually nothing is known about Celestiq apart from it will be a big, four-seat, low-volume, hand-built, EV sedan equipped with Ultra Cruise and an all-glass four-quadrant SPD-SmartGlass roof, and its price will be $200k+. From that you’ve determined it cannot compete against other similarly-priced cars.
Similarly priced? The cheapest rolls costs $320k. So yea the fact there is a $120k price difference between the cheapest rolls which is the ghost by the way yea I’m not sure how that is considered competing for the same customers.
We don’t know the price of the Celestiq, all we know is that it will be ‘six figures which will not start with a one’ according to Cadillac.
Most reports say $200k starting lol. Even with options I don’t see this thing climbing into the $320k range.
Once again……Just another Smoke and Mirrors article from Barra………
Few are going to buy a $200,000 Cadillac. I would be shocked if they found 10,000 customer in any given year.
You’re absolutely right, but they’re making this car in small quantities, so I think they’ll sell out of their allotment purely for the exclusivity of it. Youtubers and celebs love having unique cars.
If Cadillac continues on its path as being a niche carmaker they won’t even sell as many cars as infinity and Acura. Acura is already pulling ahead of Cadillac in sales. It is becoming pathetic.
Akear:
You outta read up on stuff before you post. You’re apparently woefully uninformed.
Cadillac won’t build 10k Celestiqs over its entire lifetime. Volume isnt the point of the car. It will be a bespoke, made-to-order specialty vehicle built at a stated rate of 1 to 1.5 a day. This means about 500 +/- a year. I suspect most will go to China and Russia.
Don’t call me dude
i like it
The celestiq hasn’t been revealed yet.
Get ready to bend over again you GM lovers
If GM management actually believes they can sell a $200,000 sedan, they’re CRAZY !!!!
They still need a replacement for the CT6 at a price mere mortals can afford. CT5 and CT4 are too small. I really love my CT6 and there is nothing on the horizon to replace it.
I hear you! I have CT6’s and love them. We ordered our loaded 2020 AWD Super Cruise Premium Luxury in Shadow Gray with Maple Sugar interior and waited 6 months for it. It arrived on a non-GM carrier the day GM went on strike. The Cadillac rep for GM wanted it as his company car when he saw it on the showroom floor. He told the general manager (also my sales rep) of the dealership that it was the only one he had seen in the color combo and was stuck by it. He commented that generally they have black interiors since that was the push by the bean counters.
Fortunately, it was marked as a sold car and the Cadillac rep had to keep his CT4! We have had 5 Caddy’s in 9 years. All sedans except for a 10-month life cycle on an SRX Platinum Premium. My wife made me trade it for an XTS Premium which I kept until I could order my first CT6 in Phantom Gray with pale gray interior in 2016 as a 2017 model. We still have 2 Caddy sedans in the stable and my toy C5 Vette convertible.
You are completely right, Cadillac needs a full-sized luxury sedan like the CT6…oh wait, they do…in CHINA!!! The Celestiq is a very niche market car. GM/Cadillac need to realize that there is still a full-sized sedan market in the US. We want an affordable $60-95K full sized LUXURY sedan, not an SUV/CUV or pickup.
I couldn’t agree more. I also have a CT6 and love it. If there is no suitable replace for it when the lease is up, I’ll be forced to buy and keep it forever. The CT5 is not even close !!!
IMO it might be a chance, the CT6 is still being made albeit China, it may reappear in the US.
My CT6 is wonderful. BUT GM tradition of prematurely ending a car once they get it right or at the point it is getting right always wins in the end. HOLDING my breath on this new big Cadillac. If the GM masterminds think a bunch of blah SUV,s and a 200K limited sedan is the future just shows how stupid they are…
Has anybody seen this car? Im pretty sure it will be a killer. But need some more details
Imagine the depreciation on that one!
Usually high tech electric car don’t depreciate that much, especially if it’s a high tech luxury hand built sedan. Used Tesla prices don’t depreciate, the prices actually rise higher. It would take years for the upcoming celestiq to depreciate even a little. I don’t think it will depreciate but you never know.
Rise higher? Are we talking normal times or these bs Covid times?
Both times. Electric cars don’t depreciate because of the batteries, the batteries are very expensive and high tech and so the price rises instead of declining, covid-19 doesn’t have any effect on the price rises for used electric cars.
