Cadillac’s long tradition of visionary concept vehicles continues to shape the future of luxury performance, and the latest example is already earning major recognition. The all-new Cadillac Elevated Velocity concept has been named Best Concept Vehicle for 2026 by EyesOn Design, an organization made up of leading automotive designers and educators. This marks the second consecutive year a Cadillac concept has earned the prestigious award, following the 2025 win for the Opulent Velocity concept.
Designed to capture the spirit of Cadillac’s legendary V-Series performance lineup, the Elevated Velocity is a bold, all-electric 2+2 ultra-luxury crossover created to excite both drivers and passengers. The concept embodies Cadillac’s “Art of Exhilaration” design philosophy, offering a glimpse at styling cues and performance direction that may influence future production models.
Its name reflects its dual personality. “Elevated” speaks to both the raised ride height and the refined, luxurious experience for occupants, while “Velocity” highlights its high-performance capabilities on both paved roads and challenging terrain.
The concept’s striking proportions feature a long hood inspired by production models like the Cadillac CELESTIQ and Cadillac LYRIQ, paired with a commanding stance on 24-inch wheels. Dramatic gull-wing doors open to reveal a handcrafted interior that emphasizes bespoke materials and futuristic luxury.
Concept vehicles like the Elevated Velocity allow Cadillac designers to explore bold ideas and push the boundaries of innovation. With high-performance electric models such as the OPTIQ-V and LYRIQ-V already on the horizon, the Elevated Velocity concept offers an exciting look at what the future of Cadillac’s V-Series performance could become.
