Cadillac CELESTIQ

SPECIAL FEATURE

The CELESTIQ represents Cadillac at its purest, an artistic statement shaped by the most advanced technologies the brand has ever engineered.

Cadillac has unveiled one of the most ambitious models in its history: the CELESTIQ, an all-electric ultra-luxury sedan that sets a new benchmark for craftsmanship and technology. Now fully launched and available across global and Middle Eastern markets, the CELESTIQ represents the pinnacle of Cadillac’s bespoke design philosophy. Dunes Magazine was invited to witness the reveal firsthand, offering an exclusive look at how Cadillac is reshaping the future of ultra-luxury electric travel.

A Flagship Built Around Heritage and Innovation

Drawing on more than a century of automotive heritage, Cadillac developed the CELESTIQ as a model that bridges its historic identity with its electric future. Entirely hand-built, the car stands as a modern interpretation of Cadillac’s classic bespoke icons, recalling masterpieces such as the 1933 V16 Aerodynamic Coupe and the 1957 Eldorado Brougham.

Every CELESTIQ is created as a unique commission. Clients collaborate directly with their chosen dealer and Cadillac’s design team to build a one-of-a-kind vehicle, ensuring that no two models are ever identical.

According to Cadillac executives, the CELESTIQ represents the brand at its purest, serving as an artistic statement supported by the most advanced technologies Cadillac has engineered to date.

A Personalized Journey for Every Owner

Cadillac structures the CELESTIQ buying experience as a curated journey. Once a customer begins the commissioning process, they are paired with a dedicated concierge and given direct access to a Cadillac designer. This collaborative approach helps shape a vehicle that reflects the client’s personality, tastes and preferred finishes.

Because production is extremely limited and each vehicle is assembled by hand, the CELESTIQ becomes a rare collectible as much as a flagship EV model.

Every CELESTIQ is a one-of-a-kind commission, crafted through a bespoke journey that transforms each client’s vision into a hand-built masterpiece.

Technology Designed to Elevate Every Drive

The CELESTIQ integrates an impressive suite of technologies that support comfort, connectivity and personalization.

Immersive Display System

The cabin is dominated by a 55-inch pillar-to-pillar HD display, the largest in its class. It is divided into two main sections under a single glass panel:

•A driver display with resolution comparable to 8K, presenting essential information with remarkable clarity.

•A passenger display for media, internet browsing, smartphone integration and more.

To reduce distraction, the passenger screen incorporates Digital Blinds Active Privacy, which visually shields its content from the driver when in use.

Connected Camera Platform

A new camera system lets owners access interior and exterior camera feeds through a mobile interface. In addition to security and theft-detection features, the system provides crash recording and added safety functions.

Google Built-In

Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play come standard, offering hands-free support, real-time navigation, and convenient access to apps.

Adaptive Glass Roof

The CELESTIQ features the largest fixed glass roof in the industry. Using Suspended Particle Device technology, the roof is divided into four independently adjustable zones. Each occupant can select their preferred level of brightness, with tint levels ranging from under 1% to 20%. The glass also incorporates infrared-reflective and low-emissivity layers to maintain cabin comfort and reduce heat.

Advanced Climate Sense System

Cadillac introduces the Gentherm ClimateSense four-zone microclimate technology as standard equipment. With 33 microclimate modules, each seat allows passengers to fine-tune temperature, ventilation, airflow, neck warmers and heated armrests. All seats offer the same level of luxury, making every position equally premium. The system is engineered to reduce overall energy use while enhancing comfort.

Ultra Cruise Ready

The CELESTIQ is equipped with the hardware necessary for future Ultra Cruise capabilities. The system will expand through over-the-air updates as new functionalities become available.

Interior: A Modern Expression of Craftsmanship

Inside, the CELESTIQ reflects Cadillac’s “Art of Travel” philosophy. The cabin blends authentic materials, sculpted surfaces and refined textures to create a luxurious environment that emphasizes simplicity and precision.

Lighting, finishes and tactile elements are arranged to highlight the car’s handcrafted nature. According to Cadillac’s interior design leaders, the goal was to reinterpret American luxury in a contemporary form, one that feels elegant, modern and deeply personal.

Lighting Experience

With more than 450 LEDs throughout the cabin, passengers can tailor lighting colors and moods across multiple zones. Eighteen animated lighting sequences allow the CELESTIQ to showcase the interior’s full visual depth.

Materials and Custom Finishes

Cadillac treats the CELESTIQ as a canvas for artistic expression. Clients can choose from an extensive selection of colors, materials and finishes, or even request new, custom-created options.

Key elements include:

• Precision-Finished Metalwork: Many components undergo intricate milling, anodizing and hand polishing.

• Hand-Wrapped Leather: Skilled artisans wrap nearly every surface with carefully selected premium leather.

• Bespoke Color Development: Customers may collaborate with designers to craft original paint shades or match personal references.

• Unlimited Finishes: The CELESTIQ offers a near-infinite range of interior and exterior options, reinforcing its status as a personalized, one-of-one commission.
