About Cadillac
Cadillac is a premium automotive brand under General Motors, headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, and known for its legacy of American luxury, innovation, and bold design. Founded in 1902, Cadillac helped define modern automotive manufacturing with its early adoption of precision engineering and mass production standards. Today, the brand is leading GM's transition to an all electric future, combining its historic focus on craftsmanship and performance with advanced battery and software technologies.
Cadillac's electrification strategy is centered on the Ultium platform, GM's next generation modular EV architecture that supports a wide range of vehicle types and powertrain configurations. The first model built on this platform, the Cadillac LYRIQ, introduced the brand's new design language, integrating a 33 inch curved OLED display, rear wheel and all wheel drive configurations, and DC fast charging capability. The LYRIQ's success has established Cadillac as the technological and design leader within GM's global portfolio.
The brand's upcoming all electric lineup expands into new segments with models such as the high performance ESCALADE IQ, the ultra luxury CELESTIQ flagship sedan, and the compact OPTIQ crossover. Each model utilizes Ultium Drive motors, advanced driver assistance features through GM's Super Cruise system, and customizable interior environments designed for digital personalization. The CELESTIQ, hand built in limited numbers, represents Cadillac's return to bespoke craftsmanship, combining cutting edge EV performance with traditional luxury materials and design.
Cadillac is also investing in advanced connectivity and autonomy, aligning its electric strategy with GM's software defined vehicle ecosystem. Over the air updates, adaptive energy management, and integrated infotainment systems powered by Ultifi software enable continuous evolution throughout each vehicle's lifecycle. The brand's goal is to become fully electric by 2030, leading GM's transformation toward zero emissions, zero crashes, and zero congestion.
With manufacturing centered in the United States and expanding to key international markets, Cadillac's electric vehicles embody a blend of American heritage and modern innovation. Through its use of the Ultium platform, advanced digital technologies, and distinctive design philosophy, Cadillac is redefining what luxury means in the age of electric mobility.
