As the auto world looks for more innovation in economically friendly options, electric cars are all the rage and looking to be in the right direction over the next decade. This is why Cadillac has decided to offer their customers an all-electric option, coming this summer, the Cadillac Celestiq. It will be the first all-electric sedan released by the Auto leader, offering an economically friendly option and maintaining the standards that Cadillac has carried for decades since the very beginning.
While it will be available for viewing this summer, it will not hit the market officially until 2025, when it flagships as the first sedan released by Cadillac with an all-electric powertrain. Those interested in making an all-electric investment for the future will be able to see where their favorite manufacturer is heading in the direction of EVs. Want to know more about the Celestiq? Below are features that customers can expect when they view this full luxury model.
Power and Electricity Come Together
While some electric models have shown to be less powerful than traditional power trains, the Cadillac Celestiq is expected to maintain the power that Cadillac sedan owners currently have with their models. The power train will also be all-wheel drive, maintaining four-wheel steering for quality driving.
Compared to other similar electric car models, the Cadillac Celestiq is expected to have two electric motors on each axle, allowing this electric powertrain to maintain the power expected of a Cadillac, especially for longer travel times.
Mile Range
One of the big concerns and questions that any car buyer has regarding an electric vehicle is the mile range for that model and how far they can travel. With an Ultium battery pack for the Celestiq, the mile range for this sedan will be longer than other models in its class. Approximately 300 miles on one charge will be available for these sedans at the minimum, with mileage potential to be more. This is an attractive feature for many Cadillac owners, who frequently take day trips and use their Cadillac as the main transportation method.
Battery Type
As previously mentioned, the battery used for the Cadillac Celestiq will be an Ultium battery pack. The size of this battery can range, but it can be as large as 100 kWh, which is twice the size of other current electric sedans. Cadillac must maintain a high level of battery life when the Celestiq is at full charge.
Maintain Interior Luxury
It would not be a Cadillac if the levels of luxury, cargo, and comfort were not blowing other models off the charts. Despite an electric power train, Cadillac customers' level of luxury has come to know and expect will not be changing. Top-tier accents such as premium wood grain and real metal are expected to decorate the interior of the Celestiq when it is launched into the market.
Technology Growth & Innovation
Maintaining technological innovation is at the top of the list for Cadillac designers. Like other Cadillac models, the Celestiq will maintain the current level of innovation and technology. Owners can expect to have a single digital dashboard, unlike anything else in its class. The leading technology on the market will provide each passenger its own space to manage the comfort level while traveling.
Passengers in the back will have the option to view movies and videos of their choice through the smart screens implanted in rear displays. The ability to adjust everything from volume to temperatures will come with a technology focus. Any passenger can manage the radio and stereo system safely from their location in the Celestiq.
With a full glass roof on the Celestiq, passengers can change the view from a transparent view to a darker tint shade, minimizing the sun's brightness if necessary.
Cargo Space is a Must
While the Celestiq is considered a sedan, this Cadillac model's body shape will be more of a hatchback style. This is designed to maximize cargo space for Cadillac owners traveling and using their Cadillac for everyday tasks. Many Cadillac owners have families and are looking for an all-electric option and can meet their daily demands through commutes, errands, and day trips when warranted. This makes the Celestiq a versatile option for Cadillac owners, carrying everything from groceries and travel bags to equipment and other traveling needs for your vacation getaway.
Leading Safety Features
While staying ahead in technology, the innovation for the Celestiq extends over to the driver assistant features embraced by Cadillac. The Super Cruise that is a popular feature of Cadillac will also be found in the Celestiq when it releases. This will carry over the semi-automatic driving offered by this technology, although drivers will still need to be alert and ready to take over if necessary.
Other safety features will include the standard automatic braking feature that slows your Cadillac when you are too close to another vehicle and not slowing down fast enough. Standard lane departure will also be available to assist drivers when switching lanes on the highway to do so safely. Automatic braking will also be enforced for pedestrians should someone walk out in front of your Celestiq.
Maintenance of the Cadillac Celestiq
With this being an all-electric vehicle, the maintenance on the Celestiq will be a little different from traditional Cadillac models. However, there will still be required services to keep the powertrain, transmission, and other parts of the Celestiq operating at maximum performance. In fact, the first dealer maintenance will be covered as a complimentary visit by Cadillac. You can also expect to have a substantial warranty listed on the powertrain that supersedes others in its class. The battery on your Celestiq will also come covered with a warranty, expected to maintain at least 100,000 miles in coverage.
