Cadillac gave us an early glimpse of the Celestiq, an ultra-luxurious electric car rumored to cost $300,000

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Cadillac pulled the wraps off of the Celestiq, its new super high-end electric vehicle. </li><li>The long, low sedan will start at around $300,000 and each will be hand-built to customer preferences. </li></ul>The brand that defined the American luxury car is making a land yacht for the electric era. <div type="image" title="EMBARGO 10/17 9PM ET DNP: The Cadillac Celestiq." height="1723" width="2500" msid="94928672" hostid="261" sizebytes="113164"></div>After months of teasing, General Motors on Monday officially unveiled the Cadillac Celestiq, an ultra-luxurious, zero-emission sedan meant to go toe-to-toe with high-end cars from Rolls-Royce and Bentley. It's part of GM's ambitious plan to sell only electric vehicles by 2035. <div type="image" title="EMBARGO 10/17 9PM ET DNP: The Cadillac Celestiq." height="1875" width="2500" msid="94928673" hostid="261" sizebytes="256070"></div>It'll start at around $300,000 before delivery fees and options, which buyers are invited to pile on with the help of a personal concierge that will guide them through the purchase process. Each Celestiq will be hand-built to customer specifications, and the brand will limit annual production to "an extremely low volume." Production starts in December 2023. <div type="image" title="EMBARGO 10/17 9PM ET DNP: The Cadillac Celestiq." height="1774" width="2500" msid="94928676" hostid="261" sizebytes="144292"></div>That hefty price tag gets you a sedan with exaggerated, concept-car styling and a silhouette like nothing else on the road. It looks exceptionally long and has a slanted, fastback rear end reminiscent of EVs like the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/porsche-taycan-turbo-s-cross-turismo-electric-car-review-2022-6">Porsche Taycan</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mercedes-benz-eqs-580-interior-review-electric-luxury-tesla-price-2022-10">Mercedes-Benz EQS</a>. <div type="image" title="EMBARGO 10/17 9PM ET DNP: The Cadillac Celestiq." height="1875" width="2500" msid="94928677" hostid="261" sizebytes="198188"></div>The Celestiq's interior is marked by sleek lines and a clean aesthetic. But Cadillac didn't hold back when it came to screens: There are five of them. The star of the show is a 55-inch display spanning the dashboard consisting of two separate screens. It's controlled by a crystal rotary dial. <div type="image" title="EMBARGO 10/17 9PM ET DNP: The Cadillac Celestiq." height="1858" width="2477" msid="94928678" hostid="261" sizebytes="239184"></div>Then there's a slanted "Front Command Center" mounted to the center console. Back-seat passengers aren't left out: They get a "Rear Command Center'' along with 12.6-inch screens mounted to the front seatbacks.<div type="image" title="EMBARGO 10/17 9PM ET DNP: The Cadillac Celestiq." height="1875" width="2500" msid="94928679" hostid="261" sizebytes="201490"></div>Inside, the Celestiq gets ambient lighting, generous amounts of leather, and a glass roof that can be tinted at the push of a button. The roof has four zones that can be controlled independently. <div type="image" title="EMBARGO 10/17 9PM ET DNP: The Cadillac Celestiq." height="3750" width="2500" msid="94928680" hostid="261" sizebytes="393644"></div>Buyers can expect 300 miles of driving range from a 111-kilowatt battery, Cadillac says. Celestiqs will have all-wheel drive provided by two motors that together produce 600 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque. The car can hit 60 mph in a brief 3.8 seconds, Cadillac estimates. The brand thoughtfully included rear-wheel steering to help customers navigate tight areas like parking lots without excessive K-turns. <div type="image" title="EMBARGO 10/17 9PM ET DNP: The Cadillac Celestiq." height="1874" width="2499" msid="94928682" hostid="261" sizebytes="174638"></div>The Celestiq debuts as one piece in a wide-ranging electrification strategy from GM that promises to bring EVs of many body styles and price points to US roads. At the more affordable end of the spectrum will be the Chevrolet Equinox EV, which targets a starting price of $30,000. Current models like the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chevy-bolt-euv-cheap-affordable-electric-suv-review-range-2022-7">Chevy Bolt EUV</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cadillac-just-unveiled-its-lyriq-electric-car-2020-8">Cadillac Lyriq SUV</a> along with future ones like the GMC Sierra EV anf <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/electric-chevy-silverado-ev-truck-chevrolet-f150-lightning-2022-9">Chevy Silverado EV pickup trucks</a> make up the middle ground.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The US carmaker Cadillac is expanding its electric vehicle portfolio. </li><li>The company has announced a new, more affordable model called Optiq, due for release next year. </li></ul>Cadillac has announced that it will be adding a new model, named Optiq, to its portfolio of electric vehicles.The company, which is owned by General Motors, said that it will "act as the entry point" for buyers and that it offers "spirited driving dynamics."Further details will be unveiled next year, the company said in a <a target="_blank" href="https://media.cadillac.com/media/us/en/cadillac/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2023/nov/1117-optiq.html">press release</a>.Optiq, which will be Cadillac's fourth electric car, is being pitched as a more accessible model, and it is expected to come in at a lower price point than the Lyriq, which is currently their cheapest offering at $58,590.At the upper end of the brand are the $130,000 2025 Escalade IQ SUV and the $340,000 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cadillac-celestiq-electric-luxury-car-price-release-date-photos-range-2022-10">Celestiq</a> sedan.The announcement comes as General Motors continues to ramp up electric vehicle production across all its major brands, including Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC.<div type="image" title="Cadilla Optiq" height="4275" width="5700" msid="105335085" hostid="261" sizebytes="1148650"></div>In 2021, the US automaker announced an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/12-people-leading-general-motors-all-electric-push-2021-10">ambitious plan</a> to embrace an electric future and stop selling all non-electric vehicles by 2035. However, supply chain issues and battery cell production have delayed their progress.Recent <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/united-auto-workers-strike-general-motors-hit-hardest">strikes</a> led by the United Auto Workers (UAW) were in part related to the risk of job losses caused by GM's electrification strategy.The strikes, which were held in September and October of this year, cost General Motors $200 million a week, the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/business-67207828">BBC</a> reported.EV <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ev-sales-getting-tougher-car-dealers-say-2023-10">demand has plateaued</a> in the US auto market this year, as the wave of early-adopters dies out and the electric vehicles remain too expensive for the average buyer.EVs accounted for 9% of all sales through September 2023."No matter what claim somebody can make about the long-term ownership cost of a vehicle, if the entry point is $45,000-plus, that's still steep," Vince Sheehy, a car dealer in the Washington, D.C. area, previously told Business Insider.

At an event for media, investors, analysts, and dealers at its historic Warren Technical Center to showcase the company's ambitious electrification strategy, president Mark Reuss pulled the cover off a new Cadillac.The Celestiq is a big, luxurious, sedan that will be hand-built in Michigan and run on electrons. It will also be the flagship of Cadillac, which GM has made its lead electric brand."It's a dream car for this company and our customers," Reuss said. "It's the ultimate expression of Cadillac design and technology, and the ultimate luxury experience."In a brief interview, Cadillac president Steve Carlisle indicated that production would be quite limited. "We need to do something we haven't done before," he said. Celestiq will follow the new all-electric Lyriq, which arrives this April. As with a spate of new EVs from GM - the carmaker said it plans to launch 22 vehicles by 2023 - Celestiq will utilize an innovative new battery design, called Ultium.Ultium is a highly modular and scalable battery architecture that could enable GM to lower costs below the $100-per-kilowatt-hour threshold. It will undergird everything from the next-generation Chevy Bolt, a mass-market hatchback, to the forthcoming GMC Hummer pickup truck. GM said that it would enable 400-mile range on a single charge and could support 0-60 mph times of three seconds.GM didn't provide extensive details on Celestiq, but the sedan that it showed was impressive, with a luminous pearl-white paint job, sleek lines and a bold stance, and dramatic, multilayered fascia framed by vertical headlights. (The company also didn't supply photos, but we should see something relatively soon as Cadillac unveils new EVs.)Reuss said that Cadillac had been a leader in design, luxury, and innovation, and that with Celestiq, it "would be again."

Cadillac to take on Bentley and Rolls-Royce with $300,000 luxury electric sedan, report says

CadillacCadillac president Steve Carlisle.<ul class="summary-list"><li>Cadillac, General Motors' luxury brand, has stupendous name-recognition and segment-defining vehicles, such as the Escalade SUV.</li><li>But the brand has been suffering in competition with German and Japanese luxury brands for decades.</li><li>Now GM has decided to make Caddy the company's lead electric brand as it embraces an all-electric future.</li><li>Business Insider spoke with Cadillac president Steve Carlisle at an electric-vehicle day even held the company organized this week in Detroit.</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/?hprecirc-bullet">Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories</a>.</li></ul> DETROIT - "It's the end of the Ice Age for Cadillac."That was the clever quip from Cadillac president Steve Carlisle. "Ice" is actually "ICE" - internal-combustion engine, the powerplant of virtually every vehicle Cadillac has sold since its founding in 1902.For decades, Cadillac was the pinnacle of General Motors' brand ladder, the car you bought, like 1960s advertising maven Don Draper in "Mad Men," when you had made it in America.The arrival of German premium brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW in the US market undermined Caddy's lofty position, as did upmarket moves by the Japanese automaker with Acura (Honda), Infiniti (Nissan), and most importantly, Toyota's Lexus.Cadillac had been trying to get its mojo back for decades, and although it should always have the Escalade, its bestselling big SUV, GM president Mark Reuss has made no bones about the brand. "We need to fix Cadillac," he said in an interview with Business Insider several years ago.The fix is underway, as the brand adds to its lineup of SUVs, backs away from sedans, and launched an all-new Escalade this year to keep pace with a reinvigorated Lincoln - but most critically, embraces its role as GM's burgeoning electric brand.<h2>A lot of electric is on the way</h2>GMGM president Mark Reuss.At an EV day for investors, media, and dealers held this week at GM's historic Technical Center near Detroit, the company showcased what looked very much like an all-electric design for the Escalade, revealed another electron-powered crossover named "Lyriq," and pulled the cover off a halo vehicle, dubbed Celestiq, that will be built by hand."We needed to do something we hadn't done before," Carlisle said in an interview at the event.He has a 10-year plan. "We're going to start the decade as an ICE brand, but exit the decade as an EV brand," he said. To clarify the timetable, he pointed out that although the gas-powered automobile was on sale in the early years of the 20th century, the horse as the nation's primary form of transportation didn't really phase out until 1925. Change takes time.For Caddy, the immediate action is with the internal-combustion launch cadence of the next few years. But the electrified transition should pick up speed in late 2022, as the brand shifts its dealers' showrooms to a battery-electric focus, Carlisle said.Offering a slight hedge, Carlisle added: "By 2030, there might be a few ICE motors left."Cadillac's US sales have been reasonable, with the past several years delivering totals in the 150,000-unit ballpark. The China business is also now well-established, beating US sales with over 212,000 units in 2019. And it's always worth remembering that luxury auto brands mint heftier profit margins than mass-market badges.Carlisle isn't falling back on those arguments, however."We've never been in a better position as an internal-combustion brand, but want to drive change," he said, echoing GM CEO Mary Barra's mandate for the automaking giant to embrace an all-electric future. <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cadillac-rise-fall-luxury-brand-market-industry-2019-10">The rise and fall of Cadillac</a></h3>

Rolls Royce Spectre rolls out as India’s most expensive electric car

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna credited Tesla for accelerating progress in EV production. </li><li>Ferrari is an "emotional car" while Tesla is a "functional car," he said.</li></ul><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-investors-growing-weary-of-elon-musks-twitter-antics-2023-1">Controversies</a> aside, no one can say that Tesla's CEO Elon Musk doesn't have a talent for getting things moving. And Tesla certainly got things moving for the electrification of the automotive industry, Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-13/ferrari-ceo-moves-fast-like-musk-while-forging-own-path-on-evs-race?sref=LspfQlRv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bloomberg</a>. "The big contribution that Tesla has made to the automotive industry?" Vigna said in an interview published on February 13th. "It was a wake-up call. Things used to happen too slowly. Tesla shook up the industry and accelerated processes and decisions." Vigna joined the luxury automaker as CEO in<a href="https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/corporate/articles/ferrari-appoints-benedetto-vigna-as-chief-executive-officer-corp" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> September of 2021</a>, after working at semiconductor manufacturing corporation STMicroelectronics. While Vigna credited Tesla for its agility, he also stressed the differences between a Tesla and a Ferrari. "There are functional cars that have the goal of moving people from point A to point B, emitting zero carbon dioxide. You don't care about its brand; what really matters is that it moves you," he said. "Separately, there are emotional cars that give you a unique driving experience, like Ferraris." <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ferraris-history-2016-2#the-team-raced-mostly-alfa-romeo-cars-by-1933-scuderia-ferrari-had-essentially-become-alfas-racing-division-5">Ferrari </a>plans to unveil its first full electric car<a href="https://cdn.ferrari.com/cms/network/media/pdf/Address-from-Chairman-and-CEO-2021.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> in 2025</a>. While investing in electric cars, it will "keep offering a mix of technology for as long as it's feasible. That means internal combustion engines, hybrids and fully electric models," Vigna said. The company unveiled its first ever SUV, the combustion engine powered <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ferrari-suv-purosangue-price-interior-lamborghini-urus-2022-9">Purosangue</a> — "thoroughbred" in Italian — in September of 2022. As "functional" electric cars, to use Vigna's words, become more and more popular, luxury automakers like Ferrari are <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/evs-electric-luxury-cars-lexus-genesis-mercedes-cadillac-polestar-lucid-2023-1#but-rolls-royce-wont-have-ultra-wealthy-buyers-all-to-itself-cadillac-is-readying-a-300000-ev-of-its-own-9">getting ready</a> to enter the market. Rolls Royce is expected to roll out its first EV, the two-door <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/rolls-royce-spectre-electric-car-price-release-date-range-2022-10">Spectre</a>, at around $400,000 in late 2023, while Cadillac will start production of its $300,000 <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cadillac-celestiq-electric-luxury-car-price-release-date-photos-range-2022-10">Celestiq</a> in December 2023.

The project, internally named "Project R" or "Brand R," already has designers working on several Corvette-branded concept vehicles, according to Bloomberg. The intention is to appeal to a wide range of buyers by selling vehicles that offer Corvette-like performance but in a more comfortable, spacious package, the outlet's sources said. The most likely vehicle to come out of Project R, if it moves forward, would be a high-performance crossover with a profile similar to that of Lamborghini Urus or Mustang Mach-E, Bloomberg reported. The Corvette SUV could hit the market by 2025, and any addition to the Corvette lineup would be an all-electric vehicle, the sources said.

The automaker intends to launch 22 new electrified vehicles by 2023, pursuing what CEO Mary Barra has called an "all-electric future."Four EVs are launching in 2020. According to GM, the balance should follow at a rapid clip, and Barra said the program should be profitable "in its first cycle."GM president Mark Reuss presented the fleet of forthcoming EVs that GM showcased at the event, stressing that "everything" is real - the company showed no vaporware concepts that it doesn't intend to bring to market.Here's a rundown of the vehicles, from each GM brand:<h2>Cadillac</h2>In addition to revealing the Celestiq, a hand-built, limited-production, all-electric luxury sedan that has Bentley-level scale, GM provided a closer look at Lyriq, slated to roll out in April 2020. That SUV has an all-new exterior and interior design. The exterior's standout is a multilayered, lighted grille, framed by vertical headlamps. The interior strives to seamlessly integrate various features and has a showstopping, curved LED instrument cluster and LED screen that covers most of the dashboard.Lyriq is topped by a new, three-row SUV that will probably wear the Escalade nameplate. The large, sleek SUV had an LED setup that runs from pillar-to-pillar on the vehicle's dash.Each new Cadillac will be built on GM's new dedicated EV platform at the company's retooled Hamtramck factory in Michigan. The new Caddys will also utilize GM's Ultium battery pack, an innovative, modular pouch design delivering up to 200 kWh capacity and more than 400 miles per charge, with 0-60 mph as low as three seconds.Cadillac has been designated as GM's lead electric brand, so it was no surprise that GM provided a lot of detail about its new lineup.<h2>Buick</h2>Two new Buick electric SUVs are on the way. As-yet unnamed, they'll also use Ultium battery packs and feature a slightly more subdued version of the Cadillac instrument-infotainment LED-screen setup.<h2>Chevy</h2>The next-generation of the pioneering Chevy Bolt EV arrives in late 2020. A crossover Bolt follows in summer of 2021, and it's the first vehicle outside the Cadillac brand to get the Super Cruise handsfree highway self-driving technology.Super Cruise itself has been upgraded. It can now navigate highway interchanges without disengaging, has been tweaked as far as driver-attention monitoring is concerned, and is now easier overall to engage, an adjustment GM made in response to owner feedback.<h2>GMC Hummer</h2>The Hummer returns! First as a GMC pickup truck in May 2020, then as an SUV. Again, the resurgent brand's vehicles will be Ultium-powered and be built using a new EV platform and up to three electric motors.Unlike Cadillac and Buick, the updated GM infotainment system will be less luxuriously high-tech in Hummer, designed instead to be robustly interactive when taken into rough, off-road conditions. Still, a large central touchscreen will be the centerpiece.<h2>Cruise</h2>The self-driving/ride-sharing startup acquired by GM in 2016 and a standalone company valued at nearly $20 billion showed its Origin shuttle at GM's EV day.Built with Honda, it's the first vehicle to use the third-generation GM EV platform. Cruise won't launch its commercial service in San Francisco with the Origin - that duty falls to modified Chevy Bolts - but Origin will be Ultium-powered when Cruise is ready to set it loose.
