US luxury automaker Cadillac has revealed its Celestiq EV sedan. The production of this stunning car will begin in December 2023. One will have to spend a little more penny to purchase this premium car that offers a luxurious cabin with some hi-tech features. The sedan has sleek lines, a sweeping roof, and a bustle rear end.
Also, you will not see this car in your local dealer’s showroom as Celestiq will be tailor-made to each customer. They will be delivered discreetly to the customers.

However, Celestiq’s powertrain cannot be customised. All models come with a dual-motor all-wheel drive electric powertrain. Cadillac estimates that it will take around 600 horsepower and would launch the vehicle to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds.

The Celestiq can recharge on a DC fast charging connection and the battery can receive 78 miles of range in just 10 minutes on a 200-kW connection.

The roof is madeusing an electrochromic glass panel that can be adjusted to be opaque from transparent. Every passenger can control their own corner of the sky. Buttery leather lines much of the cabin. The cargo area has metal inlays on the floor.
