The verdict

What's good

  • Each car is hand-built to order with near-unlimited personalization options
  • Smart glass roof panels can be individually tinted for each passenger zone
  • Interior craftsmanship rivals Rolls-Royce at a fraction of the price
  • Genuinely quiet cabin even at motorway speeds thanks to acoustic engineering

What's not

  • Charging network gaps become significant on road trips away from metro areas
  • As a low-volume hand-built product, service logistics require dealer pre-planning
  • Real-world range is lower than class-leading battery EVs at similar price points
  • Resale market is unproven given the tiny production volume

The engine

Ultium

Dual-Motor Electric AWD

Silent, instant and effortlessly torque-rich, the dual-motor setup delivers smooth all-wheel-drive shove that ranges from luxury-cruiser serene in the Lyriq to genuinely ferocious in the hand-built Celestiq and Lyriq-V.

Built on GM's Ultium platform, with the flagship Celestiq hand-assembled at the GM Global Technical Center in Warren, Michigan, marking Cadillac's most exclusive modern production car.
