Cadillac is preparing to launch the new Celestiq electric model, notable for its limited production and extraordinary exclusivity. Tony Roma, head of the Performance Division, announced that only 250 units will be produced each year, making it the rarest model in the brand's history. Starting at 340,000 USD (1.24 million AED), customers will be able to personalize their specifications several weeks or even months before the final design and production stages begin.
Unique Appeal Meets Growing Demand
The Celestiq highlights Cadillac's commitment to delivering a high end model that reflects refined taste and craftsmanship. Orders have already exceeded expectations, filling production slots for the next 18 months. This surge in demand underscores the eagerness of luxury car enthusiasts in the Gulf to own a distinctive model that seamlessly blends exclusivity with high performance. The achievement further boosts the model's appeal in the Saudi Arabian and UAE markets, where buyers prioritize personalization and extensive customization options.
Powerful Acceleration Despite the Weight
The Celestiq is equipped with a dual motor setup that delivers 540 horsepower, enabling this large luxury sedan, which weighs 2,857 kg (6,298 lbs), to sprint from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 3.8 seconds. Its battery supports an impressive range of up to 300 miles (483 km) per charge.
Thanks to fast DC charging, drivers can add up to 78 miles (126 km) of range in just 10 minutes, making it a practical choice for navigating busy cities across the GCC.
Design Blending Comfort and Innovation
The Celestiq's design embodies American luxury with a modern edge. Its exterior features sleek lines and meticulously sculpted details that create an appearance both elegant and dynamic. Inside, the cabin merges premium materials with cutting edge technologies to elevate the overall sense of opulence.
This model is equipped with an adaptive air suspension system that ensures a smooth ride while maintaining vehicle stability across various terrains. It also features Super Cruise, an advanced hands free driving technology that helps reduce driver fatigue on long journeys.
Superior Riding Experience
The Celestiq features a 55 inch HD display that stretches across the dashboard, providing passengers with seamless digital access. Its advanced sound system includes 38 speakers, delivering immersive audio throughout the cabin. Heated armrests enhance comfort in colder climates, while a four section panoramic roof adds a sense of spaciousness. Additionally, four wheel steering improves maneuverability and ensures precise handling.
Competing with Bentley and Rolls-Royce
With the Celestiq, Cadillac aims to rival prestigious luxury brands like Bentley and Rolls Royce by offering a vehicle that seamlessly merges high performance electric power with exceptional craftsmanship. The company has adopted cutting edge engineering, enabling customers to customize every detail, from interior trims to exterior colors, ensuring each vehicle becomes a personalized work of art. The GCC market is eagerly awaiting the model’s arrival, as it promises a bold entrance into the premium electric sedan segment.
The launch of the Celestiq highlights Cadillac’s capacity to fuse futuristic technology with ultra exclusive luxury, reinforcing its position among the world’s elite automotive manufacturers. With its upcoming availability in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the Celestiq is poised to strengthen Cadillac’s reputation for innovation and appeal to clients with refined tastes who demand a truly extraordinary driving experience.
