The Goddess has returned – playing homage to Cadillac’s design history and handcrafted artistry, the beloved Cadillac Goddess has been reimagined for the Cadillac CELESTIQ. Introduced in 1930, the Goddess has seen several iterations over several decades as she evolved with the brand’s design and cultural aspirations. Early examples reflected more classical influences, while later versions such as those of the 1950s took on a more abstract aesthetic that reflected popular Jet Age design trends.

“Reimagining the Goddess was a beautiful experience because it required me to study the past and understand the evolution of what Cadillac is today,” said Cadillac Creative Sculptor Richard Wiquist, who came to the GM Design studios with a background in figurative art. “This rendition introduces a new, soaring form that reflects the brand’s heritage while also driving it into the future.”

Wiquist spent months handcrafting the new Goddess out of clay, refining the delicate impressionistic style until it captured just the right amount of motion and grace. The goal was simply to reinterpret the Goddess for the modern Cadillac, and incorporated into the ultimate-luxury, all-electric CELESTIQ. The front fender trim features a three-dimensional Goddess in molded glass as part of a piece of milled billet aluminum that’s polished, brushed and tinted. The backlit, three-dimensional Goddess emblem is positioned centrally within the multi-function controller and also encased in glass. An aluminum dial around the jewel-like feature turns independently, so the Goddess always stays in the same position. 

“After more than 120 years, heritage is an inextricable element of everything Cadillac does, while our future is about perfecting the art of individuality,” said Wiquist. “That comes from greater emotional connections conveyed in design and the process of co-creating imaginative showpieces. That’s exactly what the Goddess represents with CELESTIQ.”

The long-awaited debut of the first-ever, all-electric ESCALADE IQ is finally here. Reimagining the luxury full-size SUV experience with iconic design, craftsmanship, and the latest in Cadillac technology – the ESCALADE IQ was built to be the best-driving ESCALADE to date. Built on GM’s innovative and modular EV propulsion architecture, the ESCALADE IQ is the perfect blend of bold design and performance. 

“ESCALADE IQ is first and foremost a Cadillac and delivers on a promise of innovative design supported by spirited performance and cutting-edge technologies,” said Jamie Brewer, executive chief engineer, ESCALADE IQ. “The EV-specific architecture allows us to deliver a driving experience aligned with Cadillac’s philosophy of isolated precision — quiet, smooth and effortless with a strong connection to the road for an engaging experience.”

Power and Performance
With an estimated range of 450 miles per full charge, the ESCALADE IQ features independent front and rear suspension with power transferred to 24-inch wheels and 35-inch tires via the eAWD system. Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 and Adaptive Air Ride Suspension isolate passengers from undesirable road surfaces while providing precise steering and feel. Four-Wheel Steer reduces the turning diameter to only 39.4 feet when in lower speeds and 6.5 feet for greater maneuverability in parking lots. Cadillac Arrival Mode allows your ESCALADE IQ to move diagonally, making it even easier to fit your full-size SUV in smaller spaces.

A 24-module Ultium battery serves as the foundation, producing more than 200 kWh while employing a flexible high-voltage structure than enables 800-volt DC fast charging. Equipped with Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) bidirectional charging technology with GM Energy’s available Ultium Home products, providing customers with the ability to send power directly from the vehicle to a properly equipped home. This capability will be enabled via an over-the-air software update for the 2025 model year. ESCALADE IQ will also offer the option of Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) offboard power, allowing the vehicle to power external devices.

You’ll also enjoy One-Pedal Driving and Variable Regen on Demand to allow you to feel more connected to every drive. Plus, Ultium Energy Recovery — an innovative heat pump thermal system — allows for energy to transfer between the battery/power electronics and the cabin, using every watt possible to optimize range and minimizing the power from the high-voltage battery used for five-zone climate control.

Safety, of course, has taken the front stage in ESCALADE IQ technology. The SUV will feature a suite of standard active safety and driver assistance features such as:
Blind Zone Steering Assist: Can provide a brief, firm turn of the steering wheel when a potential crash is detected with a moving vehicle in the lane the vehicle is entering
Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking: Can help drivers avoid or reduce the severity of an intersection collision with a detected cross-traffic vehicle
HD Surround Vision: Provides selectable digital camera views of the area around the vehicle and can help drivers park or avoid vehicles and objects
Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist: Can automatically steer, brake and shift gears to park the vehicle into a dedicated parallel or perpendicular parking space and can help unpark the vehicle
Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking: At speeds between 5 and 50 mph, can help drivers avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a pedestrian or bicyclist it detects directly in front of them

A Bold Presence
The design of the ESCALADE IQ captures the essence of his predecessors, while providing a bold EV architecture that makes a statement. A sleeker profile, dynamic hood and faster-sloping roofline, and a lower, flatter interior floor for the ultimate in passenger space. The new design pushed the wheels to the corners for a more powerful stance and bold proportions. Expressive design is shown in the vertical light signature for both day and night, tall front daytime running light blades, and dramatic lighting choreography at both approach and departure. 

Additional ESCALADE IQ exterior details include:

• Available power open-and-close exterior door entry system. All four doors power open and close at the touch of a button, and if activated, the driver’s door will automatically open as the driver approaches with the key fob
• Motorized charge port door that opens automatically with a touch
• Large eTrunk compartment under the hood with 12 cubic feet of storage
• Dynamic 24-inch wheel designs

The interior of the new ESCALADE IQ is inspired by the worlds of architecture, upscale furnishings, fashion and more. The cabin is open, airy and spacious, and incorporates advanced technologies introduced on the ultra-luxury Cadillac CELESTIQ.

Highlights include:

• A stunning, curved pillar-to-pillar 55-inch-total-diagonal LED display powered by a next generation Snapdragon®12 Cockpit Platform from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. creates a vibrant first impression that only gets better over time with intuitive virtual Smart Controls, such as Universal Remote control when you pull up to your garage, which enhances the experience. Utilizing connectivity from Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon® Auto 5G Modem-RF system, the ESCALADE IQ raises the bar for in-vehicle experiences. The integrated infotainment experience is further personalized and enhanced with Google built-in. With Google Assistant®, Google Maps, and Google Play, customers can access hands-free communication, live traffic updates, information on nearby charging stations, download their favorite apps and more.
• An available Executive Second-Row Seating package that blends beauty with task-oriented comfort, including features such as stowable tray tables, 12.6-inch-diagonal personal screens, a rear command center screen, dual wireless phone charging pads, USB-C and HDMI ports, massaging seats and headrest speakers.
• Power folding third row allows for seven total passengers and folds flat for more storage.
• A panoramic fixed glass roof that spans the first and second rows of seating, creating an immersive experience and spectacular view for every passenger. The roof glass is tinted and treated with a UV-filtering film that ensures the cabin stays comfortable, even on bright days.
• Interior themes that celebrate bold, progressive color combinations and contrasting details to further establish Cadillac’s EV personality.
• Immersive, 360-degree audio experience with available 40-speaker AKG Studio Reference audio system when equipped with the Executive Second Row package. The Luxury 2 and Sport 2 systems include a 36-speaker AKG Studio Reference audio system. The standard system for Luxury 1 and Sport 1 trims is a 19-speaker AKG Studio audio system.

Regular production of the ESCALADE IQ begins next summer at GM’s Factory ZERO Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center in Michigan, with domestic and globally sourced components.

The 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ is on its way – with upgrades. The 2024 model year EV is set to include new deployable door handles, bringing the EV more in line with other conventional EVs while continuing to use advanced technology to assist with opening the doors. The previous models were crafted without proper handles, and instead included a button to unlatch and grasp the door itself to enter the vehicle. In order to meet customer demand, Cadillac found the perfect solution. 

While this new addition of door handles will bring a more familiar feel to drivers and their passengers, they will still remain powered and high-tech by fitting flush to the vehicle door before deploying as the driver approaches with the proper keyfob. They are also illuminated, creating a high-class feel and perfect solution when in a dimly lit area. The previous immoble shark fin gripping protrusions on the font doors will be replaced with the deployable handles, upgrading the overall look and feel of the LYRIQ body. 

The production of the 2024 model is to take place at the HM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee. You’ll be able to choose from three trim levels: Tech, Luxury, and the Sport trims, all equipped with upgraded technology. The RWD models get an estimated 314 miles of range on a single charge, with up to 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. The AWD models come with slightly lower mileage of 307 miles per charge, but gather up to 500 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque to give you the most in a Cadillac and an EV. 

Have your eye on one? We’ve got you covered. Click here to check out the 2023 model information, and reserve your very own LYRIQ before reservations are full.

Get ready for two more GM racing models in the Forza game series – the 2023 No. 01 Cadillac Racing V-Series.R race car and 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray. “Froza Motorsport”, set to release on October 10th of this year, began back in 2005 and will be available on Xbox Series X|S, Windows 10 and 11 PCs via the Microsoft Store and Steam, and Xbox Game Pass for PC and console. Since inception, Cadillac and Chevrolet models have appeared in the game series Motorsport and Horizon series, with these two models taking the stage for 2023. 

The Cadillac and Chevrolet teams provided the renderings and vehicle information for the Cadillac V-Series.R race car and Corvette E-Ray roughly one year before their public debut. Turn 10 Studios were invited to collect detailed reference photos, record real audio from vehicle development, and secure the vehicle performance from engineers. “Forza Motorsport” allows prospective and existing customers to experience vehicles and formulate opinions about them, potentially impacting purchase decisions and brand affinity.

The Cadillac V-Series.R, Cadillac’s third-generation prototype race car, continues the Cadillac Racing heritage of winning on the track. With victories at Sebring and Laguna Seca this year, the V-Series.R was co-developed by Cadillac Racing, Cadillac Design and Dallara, and incorporates distinctive Cadillac design elements, such as vertical lighting and floating blades.

Only a select few of the world’s best racers will be behind the wheel of this vehicle, with the placement of the V-Series.R in “Forza Motorsport” giving a global audience the chance to experience the very same tracks these racers will. 

“This is a big year for Cadillac Racing and Cadillac’s V-Series performance vehicles. We’re celebrating 20 years of V-Series and are fresh off a return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the world’s greatest endurance races,” said Meagan Quinn, Cadillac V-Series marketing manager. “We’re excited for our fans to race and experience the Cadillac V-Series.R themselves, and for performance enthusiasts around the world to experience Cadillac V-Series.”

20 Years of V-Series Performance calls for an exciting celebration. Last month, players in “Forza Horizon 5,” developed by Xbox Game Studios’ Playground Games, were able to receive a Cadillac CT5-V or CT4-V Blackwing model as a seasonal reward earned through challenges within the game. This marks the first appearance of the V-Series Blackwing models within the “Forza” franchise, joining the 2013 Cadillac XTS limousine and 2016 CTS-V and ATS-V are currently in the game.

“The timing couldn’t be better for the V-Series Blackwings to arrive in ‘Forza Horizon 5’,” said Global Vice President of Cadillac Rory Harvey. “Since going on sale in 2021, both V-Series Blackwings have been in high demand, and it’s a thrill to see these iconic sedans come to life in a format that makes them accessible to millions of enthusiasts around the world.”

The twin-turbocharged Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and supercharged CT5-V Blackwing sedans offer the ultimate balance of road-going performance luxury and track capability. While players can experience this within the gameplay, you can experience the 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing in-person at Heritage Cadillac today. Click here to view our inventory and schedule your test drive.

Next year marks an official two decades of our Cadillac V-Series family. To celebrate, Cadillac plans to commemorate these 20 years with a year-long celebration that began at this year’s SuperSebring endurance races this previous March – an ode to the start of the sub-brand, which took place at Sebring International Raceway in 2004.

The Cadillac V-Series performance sub-brand was launched in 2004 with the race debut and subsequent first win of the CTS-V.R race car in the SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge GT race. The first to join the lineup was the 2004 CTS-V, developed on the racetrack and previewed on Germany’s famed Nürburgring circuit. Following the launch came a series of 13 sedan, coupe, roadster and SUV V-Series models that brought the Cadillac V-Series brand to where we are today. 

Today, the V-Series performance lineup has grown by three to include the twin-turbocharged CT4-V Blackwing, the supercharged CT5-V Blackwing, and the long-anticipated Escalade-V. With 682 horsepower (508 kW), the Escalade-V currently wears the crown of Cadillac’s most-powerful production model ever, while the CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing models offer the ultimate balance of road-going performance, luxury and track capability.

This also marks an important year for Cadillac Racing, which has expanded with the all-new, electrified Cadillac V-Series.R prototype race car competing internationally in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and FIA World Endurance Championship. The Cadillac V-Series.R represents the start of the fifth generation of V-Series. Cadillac will also return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June for the first time in more than 20 years, competing with three cars for the overall win in the historic endurance race.

“Nearly 20 years ago, Cadillac made a bold move with V-Series that continues to resonate,” said Global Vice President of Cadillac Rory Harvey. “From the racetrack to the road, V-Series has transformed Cadillac and helped redefine performance luxury for thousands of enthusiasts. Over the next 12 months we will celebrate V-Series with a number of significant moments.”
