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.

The Ultium battery's flat under-floor layout gives the Lyriq a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution.
The Celestiq is built to order with near-limitless personalization, making it the most individually commissioned Cadillac of the modern era.
