We now know the price of General Motors\’ upcoming 100% electric luxury car. Brace yourselves, as you\’ll need to fork out the handsome sum of $340,000 USD to get your hands on this exquisite American sedan. Moreover, this is just its starting price, as the Cadillac Celestiq will also offer a plethora of customization options.

This large American luxury sedan will directly compete with the biggest names in the industry. The only other brands offering cars as luxurious and expensive in this segment are Bentley and Rolls Royce.

Limitless Customization Experience

What sets the Celestiq apart from other models in the lineup and makes it enticing for potential buyers is its level of customization. Buyers will be guided by designers throughout the process of creating their car. The Chief Marketing Officer, Melissa Grady Dias, mentioned that \”the possibilities are limitless.\”

Impressive Performance

The Cadillac Celestiq is not just a simple, luxurious, and refined large sedan. It is also very fast and efficient. In fact, the American manufacturer\’s luxury sedan is based on the Ultium architecture, which allows Cadillac to equip it with a 111 kWh battery pack. This enables an estimated range of about 483 kilometers (300 miles) on a full charge. It is powered by two electric motors that combine for a total output of 680 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque. The Cadillac Celestiq can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-60 mph) in less than 4.0 seconds, which is remarkably quick for a vehicle of its size.

A $340,000 Cadillac

I know, the price tag is impressive. Especially since, according to Ms. Dias, you\’re essentially getting a \”blank canvas\” for that amount. It\’s important to understand that this car is here to compete with the industry\’s top models. Cadillac has gained a significant amount of prestige in recent years, and offering such a prestigious and customizable vehicle is entirely logical for the American brand. Currently, there is no other American car of this caliber on the market, and Cadillac has smartly positioned itself at this level with the Celestiq. This won\’t be a mass-production model like the CT4 or CT5. The Celestiq is an exclusive and prestigious model aimed at attracting an entirely new clientele to Cadillac.
