General Motors is transitioning to an all-electric future, and Cadillac will lead the way with a host of innovative new technology features. The tip of the tech spear, so to speak, will be the Cadillac Celestiq, the luxury marque’s forthcoming all-electric full-size flagship sedan. Now, GM Authority has learned that the new Cadillac Celestiq may be unveiled in June.
So far, the Cadillac Celestiq has been somewhat elusive. Initially, General Motors planned to unveil the new flagship in April of 2021, later pushing the reveal back to July or August, and again later to early in the 2022 calendar year. Obviously, that reveal never took place, and now, we’re hearing that June of 2022 could be the month we finally see Caddy’s latest and greatest four-door.
Of course, we should mention that the June reveal is still very much tentative, and could easily change to some later date.
As for what we know so far, the Cadillac Celestiq will ride on the GM BEV3 platform and incorporate the automaker’s latest Ultium battery and Ultium drive motor technologies. The exterior design of the flagship sedan will draw inspiration from the Cadillac Escala concept that debuted at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2016, presenting sleek lines and a front end that shares some cues with the Cadillac Lyriq crossover. The grille will also be studded with LEDs.
Moving into the cabin, the Cadillac Celestiq will feature a wealth of top-shelf materials and high-tech goodies laid out in a 2+2 seating arrangement. The roof will be made from SmartGlass with programmable opacity, and the sedan will be among the first vehicles to offer the next-gen GM Ultra Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system.
As for the powertrain, the Cadillac Celestiq is expected to be available with rear-wheel drive as standard and all-wheel drive as optional, with an estimated range up to 400 miles and the sprint to 60 mph completed in just 3 seconds.
Pricing is expected be around $200,000, while production will take place at the GM Factory Zero plant in Michigan.

Better match the Lucid air in performance and range and have an interior equal of the Merc EQS or it’s a fail.
This would be a competitor to Bentley and Maybach, 500 or so hand crafted interior cars or so per year. Hopefully the CT6 will return to America to fill the gap between CT5 and Celestiq.
Seeing how both the EQS and Air is styled the real benchmarks should be ice models because neither one are home runs.
I can’t imagine this in any meaningful production numbers. I expect one to be gifted to the president and maybe a few customers in the Middle East plus a handful of CEOs.
Isn’t the Celestiq supposed to be Rolls Royce priced and somewhat Hand Built?
I could be wrong but that is what I though.
This car isn’t coming. I can guarantee you that.
Based on what?..

It’s your wife that’s not cumming. I guarantee you that.
You down own any stock and never have. Once you do come talk to me until then keep silent. Cadillac is going full electric that has been made clear or can you not read any article that has been written lately?

You came to this site to Troll. Which opens you up to being Trolled. I saw the funny I took a shot.
You don’t know me, and I would never want to have a serious conversation with you. Have a nice life.
You do nothing but troll. I have seen you comment for over a year now not one time have I ever seen you say anything related to any article, it’s always politics or like your comment above. Fun fact I’m not married I would never make that mistake. Again if you owned any stock maybe you would know but you don’t. This car isn’t coming out you don’t believe it fine.
Just ordered a Yukon Denali Diesel for my business, and will be replacing my personal 2016 Regal GS within the next year. Probably with something electric. The little bit of stock you own isn’t worth enough to fill the Yukon’s gas tank. So STFU. Like I said you don’t know me and I have no interest to talk to you. Have a nice life.
You’re still here talking even though you said you were done before. Congratulations on the one new vehicle you have coming for your business lol. Again you have no stock and I know plenty about you from the way you conduct yourself on here. So do yourself a favor and STFU.
It’s funny how some people on here brag about getting a Yukon like they just bought a rolls suv. Imagine bragging about a $70k suv and the petty $100 it costs to fill it up. Bunch of bums with no ambition in life.
Wow! A business that’s not going bankrupt. I should of hired you at my University.
gm already went bankrupt what are you talking about?
If you have any low-down on the inside, can you give us any info on the Equinox EV?
Can’t hurt to ask. 🙂
Does the GMC Granite ring a bell???? Another vehicle promised but not delivered.
It arrives July 22nd.
This car is going to remind you of the glory days of Cadillac. See you guys at the reveal in June 😉
Looks like you have seen the car. Can you describe it. Interior/exterior?
I have true hope and confidence that Cadillac will, at some point, return to the glory days where they built aspirational cars that people worked years for to save and buy. I am hopeful this car will be introduced and begin that renaissance, putting others on high alert that Cadillac is back.
They can do it. Cadillac can be that again.
Producing the Escala would have been a good move. Very stylish, this, not so much.
I do wonder about the delay. When they teased it back in January 2021, it looked ready and from all accounts, it should have been since it was designed before the Lyriq.
I have a feeling GM has been holding off to figure out how to maximize mileage out of the battery pack to be more competitive with the Lucid Air, which can travel up to 520 miles per charge.
If it can be at or past that range, it would go a long way to justify the alleged $200,000 pricing.
These cars won’t see much of any road trip duties so range is very secondary. For Lucid it’s there debut car so they have alot to prove. For GM they need to focus on design, fit/finish plus materials used.
I truly believe this car will be coming, but I want to hear confirmation from GM.
Also, I would not be shocked if this vehicle is priced starting at $230K since this is a bespoke flagship.
Yesterday, I seen the RR Dawn with the top down and it caught my attention while driving away. Cadillac needs such a car like this truly inspirational rather that is a sedan, convertible, coupe or SUV/CUV with such a price tag equivalent to the Dawn.
Yes, absolutely. Also this is prime opportunity for Lincoln to resurrect Continental and Mark coupe as 6 figure EVs with a volume CD6 / hybrid sedan for starters.
Facts. Agree w/ you 100.
Cadillac should just stop where its at with it now. It will cost billions, it won’t sell and will be a total waste of money and resources. High end luxury buyers aren’t switching to Cadillac. It is what it is. The germans have a lock on that segment. Same reason BMW doesn’t make 1/2 ton pickups, the Americans have that market locked up. Cadillac will be defunct in 5 to 10 years
Gmman99: I find you comment interesting in how it seems to lack anything to back up what you say. Sounds more like something an import snob would say. First, how do you know high end luxury buyers are not switching? Second, Cadillac has not had anything in that super high end market for those super high end customers to buy. If memory serves me correctly, Cadillac sells more vehicles with a higher ATP than does MB, BMW and Audi. Oh, they may sell more vehicles in total, but because they sell so many smaller and low-end luxury models, it hurts their overall ATP. So please define your idea of high end? On top of all that, Cadillac still dominates in the large SUV luxury segment which is very lucrative. The reason BMW doesn’t produce pickups is because they don’t have a market for them and that could change soon. Lastly, you seem to think Cadillac will be defunct in 5-10 years? Do you care to elaborate?
I call total BS on your comment and smell fear from what Cadillac may become.
‘GM is the EV Leader’
Says GM CEO Mary Barra, and she’ll say anything for her $20 Million Dollar Bonus. Of course GM’s $40 stock reflects the truth, so does Tesla’s $1,000 stock.
GM specializes in Killing…
First GM started Killing Brands… Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Saturn, Opel, SAAB, etc., and when that no longer satisfied GM, they started Killing Americans.
It’s really a sad Betrayal.
You need to do more research. Opel and SAAB were sold by GM. Only Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Saturn and Geo was killed off by GM. GM bought Hummer back recently.
GM had way too many brands they could not keep up and know what to do with because they were no longer different from one another but a shell of another brand within GM. Also, GM was badly mismanaged and greedy at the time before they went bankrupted that killed Pontiac, Saturn and Hummer while they sold SAAB. The Chinese investors killed SAAB. GM sold Opel to Peugeot.
Also lets not forget about Toyota that killed off Scion some years back. Also Chrysler killed off Plymouth, Eagle, Imperial, DeSoto & AMC which is far worse than GM and Ford killed off Mercury.
Today, the current GM is a far better company compared to 2008 while you have Toyota milking everything they can with old technology with messed up designs and now playing catch up with one EV model that is atrocious to look at, FCA has no EVs out yet under Stallantis and quality control is in the toilet as usual and worse off still while being way behind on most automakers and Ford now has two EVs but nothing yet for Lincoln but they are making an effort to introduce something soon in showcar form.
Continue to troll all you want. No one on here is taking you seriously and don’t care of your ignorance towards GM or any of the products for that matter. People who own a GM product like myself knows better. IMO, you are in fear of what GM could do with future products and more people will start buying GM products again is what you are so scared of and you continuously like to act a fool every time you post nonsense which is remotely true.
Who takes you seriously on this website? I’m generally curious?
You are the only one truly special on here. You do know that right, Mike? And I don’t mean that in a nice way.
So that means nobody takes you serious right?
That guy is an idiot. He believes micro fiber mirror caps will help Cadillac sell cars. Just ignore him and downvote him like 99% of the users on here do.
I find it funny that you cared so much how many thumb downs I get but yet, I continuously post on this site. You are truly special just like Mike. And please understand that I am calling you stupid in a nice way when I indicate that you are special. And you are a special douchebag on top of that too.
So I’m special because I asked you who takes you serious on here? You said nobody takes that other user serious but when I ask you who takes you serious you can’t answer it you just insult me.
Dont’t forget Holden!
IMO, half of Holden’s failure is on Holden, the Aussie government didn’t help either. They should have gone into other RHD (even some LHD) nations themselves rather than focus on Aus/NZ only. Indonesia and Japan was at their doorsteps, didn’t take advantage.
I have a CTS VSport now. I would love to replace it with a Celstiq. I would do it today. I hope they deliver. I’m not optimistic.
