The Cadillac Celestiq presents a striking piece of design, dropping cover in October of 2022 as Cadillac’s all-new, all-electric, four-door flagship. With a station like that, it’s no surprise General Motors made the sure the Celestiq looked utterly unique, with several interesting exterior features to catch the eye. One of those features is a deployable rear spoiler, as seen in the following GM Authority photos.
Captured on the public streets of Michigan, these photos show the Cadillac Celestiq dressed in crisp white paint. The clean, almost antiseptic white body panels are contrasted by black trim and polished bits, but it’s the rear end that we’re primarily focused on today.
Checking out the tail section of this particular Cadillac Celestiq, we can see a small, subtle spoiler element raised off the trailing edge of the hatch. This spoiler is curved and follows the lines of the rear, sitting flush with the body and roofline when it isn’t deployed. However, when it is deployed, this subtle spoiler lifts up to create a modest amount of downforce at higher speeds.
While the spoiler obviously doesn’t create wild amounts of track-oriented rear-end grip, it should help the four-door stay planted and stable during highway cruising.
The rest of the design includes a black roof, black lower body pieces, and gray-silver wheels with a technical-looking design. Silver trim underscores the roofline, the rear lighting, and the side skirts. Of course, the Celestiq offers an extreme level of customizability, which means customers have access to just about any color they can imagine, as highlighted previously.
Cadillac has announced that Celestiq production has begun as of January of this year, with each unit hand-built at the GM Global Technical Center in Warren, Michigan. Pricing starts around $340,000, and according to GM Authority sources, the automaker will produce roughly 100 to 150 units annually.
The GM BEV3 platform provides the underpinnings, with a 111 kWh GM Ultium battery and a pair of GM Ultium Drive motors on tap for motivation.

Looks like an old Citroen
That's what I see as well. Big deal about the wing...it looks just like the dinky little wing on the Tesla Model X. There is no info on what speed the wing comes into play or how much downforce it produces. Considering how much EVs weigh, I guess some degree of downforce is necessary to keep them stable "at speed." You will only see these in LA or the likes since that is where all the moneyed people are, unless they decide to leave as California goes into the dumper or when 1/3 of it falls into the sea.
The other luxury auto makers are probably looking forward to a first-hand experience with the Celestiq.
Hideous, the Cadillac brands last gasp.
Hello Cadillac,
I own a 2009 Cadillac CTS and complain to the dealership when being charged $600. to replace a front directional light bulb. The mechanic needs to remove the bumper to do this job. Cadillac division of General motors wake up and pay attention to what's happening. Call me anytime !

That’s nothing new. To replace a tail lamp bulb on a 1966 Cadillac, you had to remove the rear bumper.
Looks like something my grandson drew when he was three years old. May be I have a legal case for copy right infringement.
Cadillac has shot themselves in both feet with this car. Simply ugly.
That’s one fugly car.
As I see more pics of these in the wild, the more I actual love and understand the design. Like an ultimate shooting brake. Really begging to love it. Much better looking on the road than in showrooms.
