General Motors unveiled the 2024 Cadillac Celestiq production vehicle last month, pulling the sheets on Cadillac‘s all-new, all-electric halo sedan. While the new Cadillac Celestiq can certainly turn some heads, we got to wondering – what would it look like as a two-door coupe?
Before we begin, it bears mentioning that there are currently no known plans at GM to actually produce a new Cadillac Celestiq Coupe model. Rather, GM Authority decided to render this hypothetical two-door just to see what it might look like.
Cadillac Celestiq sedan
In its standard, factory form, the 2024 Cadillac Celestiq is characterized by broad shapes and organic lines, with the front end showing off a broad horizontal styling line and crest-like grille section offset by vertical lighting elements in the corners of the bumper. The profile is long and low, with a roofline that falls gently into the hatch-like rear and rounded tail section.

By contrast, our hypothetical Cadillac Celestiq Coupe cuts into the roofline around the rearmost pillar, creating more of a traditional three-box shape as compared to the sloping, hatch-like fastback design of the standard Cadillac Celestiq. The rear lighting arrangement enhances this new look with L-shaped taillights that run along the upper edge of the rearmost fender, connecting with further red lighting that runs up from the rear wheels. The overall effect creates a sort of “pinched” layout that brings even more attention to the trunk section, which is now broad and flat compared to the sedan.

In fact, the sedan’s fastback shape doesn’t really give a trunk section to begin with, so our hypothetical Celestiq Coupe has more of a traditional three-box profile, albeit with a twist.

Two door with the sloped rear may have been better. Now it looks like it was trying to be a modern day El Camino.
Trunk looks like a truck bed.
The trunk looks much better than the original, although I prefer the sedan four doors.
Personally I think the Celestiq has a great looking nose but the side & rear view looks horrible. I own a CTS Coupe and think it looks awesome (still after 11 yrs), would own another IF GM hadn’t discontinued them. The Coupe rendering looks a little better but not much. This Celestiq looks so stretched out, almost like a stretched Limo, not a daily driver and being EV I would never buy one anyway, no EV’s for me. I will drive the wheels of my CTS Coupe & C8 as long as I can get parts for them, I’ll probably be lucky to still be driving by then. Just my opinion……
The sloping rear is fine if it’s on a real hatchback. If it isn’t, we’re just back to the 1979-80 Cutlass and Century: ugly and impractical, leading to notchbacks at the first opportunity.
With all my respect,but you should not have posted this. A 10 years old kid will make a better render.
This is just an awful made pickup.
But yes, we need a big 2 door coupe from Cadillac.
GMA should stop doing renderings altogether.
It’s unreal how many haters GMA has.
Johnls39… you should stop commenting altogether.
Or a 4 door coupe. But better 2 door.
I don’t much care for the styling of the sedan or the rendering of the coupe. However, a coupe and convertible should be available considering the expected price.
I agree but it better look better than what they are showing us, I think it’s Fugly no matter how many doors it has. Is it the batteries that make it so looooong?
The batteries are in the middle of the lower part of the frame and not in the front and rear.
Cars like these in rarified air costing close to half a million will generally be long and big because the customer expects them to be long and majestic for the price.
The render is atrocious and the CELESTIQ is gorgeous as is.
This car looks like a stretch camaro. Bad look for Cadillac.
Hi Jonathan, Is the GM Authority hypothetical coupe a A.Luft design still to be signed off by MB at the Northville design campus.??????
I wonder if either car would look better with the upper taillight going all the way up to the chrome window strip. I’m sure they tried that at some point.
Absolutely not. This is horrendous. What on earth did you do with the trunk???
It certainly is different, but not in a good way, like the Pontiac Aztec.
This Cadillac will not last it’s a very ugly design it’s going to be over priced and it’s going to be discontinued really quick
Sorry GMA but this render is awful. Shorten the wheel base a bit, keep Celestiq’s fast back and long bonnet and you’d have an attractive two door coupe. Think more Porsche 928 or even Jaguar F-Type for the silhouette, but it’d be a full size, classic grand touring coupe. I’d also like to see a render of a Celestiq sedan, with the rear pillar and trunk line following the L shaped rear lights.
Ugly.
I like it!! I think it looks pretty cool!!
