First $350K Cadillac Celestiq Rolls Out To Customer

Cadillac has officially handed over the keys to its very first Celestiq, marking a huge moment not just for the brand but for American luxury cars in general. First shown off in 2022, the Celestiq isn’t just another electric vehicle—it’s a bold, handcrafted statement. With a starting price north of $350,000, it’s clear Cadillac is aiming high.

Every Celestiq is built to order. No two will be the same. Buyers get paired with their own Cadillac designer and a personal concierge to walk them through every little detail: paint colors, materials, tech, the works. 

Under the sculpted body is a serious performance machine. Dual motors and all-wheel drive deliver 655 horsepower and 646 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough to launch this nearly 18-foot-long luxury beast from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. The 111-kWh battery offers around 303 miles of range, which is pretty impressive for something this big and powerful.

Visually, the new Cadillac Celestiq is massive and striking, riding on 23-inch wheels with sleek, power-operated doors and a presence that rivals full-size SUVs like the Escalade.

Inside, it's pure futuristic elegance. A 55-inch digital display stretches across the entire dash. There’s an 11-inch control screen for the driver, an 8-inch screen for the front passenger, and dual 12.6-inch screens in the back for passengers to binge or browse in style. Audiophiles will love the 38- or optional 42-speaker AKG sound system, and long-distance drivers can relax with Cadillac’s Super Cruise hands-free driving tech.

One of the standout features? The “Smart Glass Roof.” It’s divided into four zones, letting each passenger control how much light filters through above their seat. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference in comfort and ambience.

The Celestiq isn’t just a new model—it’s Cadillac proving it can play in the ultra-luxury league and bring something fresh to the table. The first delivery is just the beginning.
