Cadillac does not build many cars like the Cadillac Celestiq: a 5-door liftback, built from 2024 in the decade the industry is turning electric. Its designer of record is Magalie Debellis.
The background
The Cadillac Celestiq ( se-LESS-tick) is a battery electric liftback made by the Cadillac division of General Motors. It is the brand's flagship sedan, replacing the Cadillac CT6. Production commenced in 2024.
The engineering
it is rated at 655 hp. Kerb weight is 6839 lb. The layout matters: drive goes to all four wheels, which is what lets the power be used on a wet road. The wheelbase is 130.2 in (3,308 mm). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Where it sits in Cadillac's history is not in doubt: it was built at Warren, Michigan (Global Technical Center), United States. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Nissan Z, the Jaguar Type 00, the Lotus Emeya. Its Cadillac stablemates include the Cadillac 353 and the Cadillac ATS.
The money
On the used market today a Cadillac Celestiq typically changes hands for $37,200–$53,600, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $1,305–$1,655 a year. Insurance sits around $2,050–$2,930 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
