All-New Cadillac Celestiq To Arrive Next Year In China

General Motors has just confirmed to the local press that the all-new Cadillac Celestiq will arrive next year in China.

The automaker has confirmed that the all-new ultra-luxury Cadillac Celestiq will arrive next year in China, where the production model recently debuted under the umbrella of The Durant Guild at the 2023 Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition – better known as Auto Guangzhou. Cadillac’s flagship sedan will be one of the first vehicles to be sold by the company’s new premium import platform in the Asian country.

In fact, China became the first country outside of North America where the production-ready Cadillac Celestiq made a public appearance – indicating that this country will be one of the most important markets for the vehicle – that seeks to elevate Cadillac’s global image to the highest level. Until now, the Celestiq had only been publicly unveiled at a few select events in the United States.

The all-new Cadillac Celestiq will be sold in China through The Durant Guild, GM China’s new premium import business created to expand the company’s product portfolio in the country with halo vehicles made in the United States. As such, Celestiq units for the Chinese market will be hand-built at the GM Global Technical Center in Warren, Michigan – the only Celestiq production facility in the world.

According to the company itself, the Cadillac Celestiq is the most iconic vehicle ever made by GM, incorporating more than 120 years of Cadillac heritage and representing the brand’s purest expression of design, technology, refinement and drivability. Innovative features like a 55-inch curved display and a fixed-glass smart panoramic moonroof create a unique sensory experience, showcasing legendary Cadillac artistry in a bold fastback design.

The all-new Cadillac Celestiq is expected to officially arrive in China sometime next year, shortly after the start of deliveries in the U.S. market scheduled for the first half of 2024. As in the United States, the ultra-luxury car will be sold exclusively to order and will allow for a high level of customization – so that each manufactured unit of the vehicle is unique.

  1. I’m surprised that Cadillac wasn’t already selling these in China to begin with. It definitely fills the requirement of the type of car that the rich Chinese buy to be chauffeured around in. My guess is that Cadillac will sell more there than in the USA.

  2. It is a gorgeous vehicle
    The DC Fast Charging speed is the only thing I can complain about. Should have used an 800 Volt architecture

    1. The Owner of this Limo is not driving the battery down to 20%
      Charging speed is fine and the battery is large for a Sedan
      This LIMO will charge from 20-80% very fast since its battery is so large.

  5. GM needs to clean house at Cadillac STAT! The Celestiq is all wrong. Please bring in some great designers who understand Cadillac’s wonderful history.

    1. The vehicle needs to be styled by Pininfarina.

  6. The car was designed from Day One to be sold in China. Far more will be sold there than in the US. Wealthy Americans like to drive their fancy cars. This Caddy is built for Back-Seat comfort… where wealthy Chinese prefer to be. You are considered a “Commoner” if you drive your own vehicle.

  7. Cadillac designers should use a Top Hat as a reference then design a car! Cadillac suppose to be all class not a wannabe porch sports car!
