Good news.

All Future Cadillac Vehicles To Feature Larger OLED Screen

"All future Cadillac vehicles will feature a large Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display similar to the one found in the 2021 Cadillac Escalade.

Our sister site, Cadillac Society, spoke to sources familiar with future Cadillac product plans, who said the technology that made the new Escalade’s massive 38-inch widescreen display possible will find its way into all future next-generation Cadillac models. The rollout of the screen will be staggered, though, so not all vehicles will receive it at the same time. Some models will get the larger OLED screen as part of a mid-cycle refresh, whereas others will not receive the screen until the vehicle is completely redesigned or replaced.

The design and implementation of the OLED displays in future Cadillac vehicles will not be identical to the display found in the new Escalade. Different variations of the screen will be used in different models, and not all will be positioned as they are in the Escalade.

This transition will represent a massive upgrade for technology offerings in modern Cadillac vehicles. The small infotainment displays and lack of available digital gauge clusters in Cadillac vehicles have put the brand on the back foot compared to automakers like Tesla and Mercedes-Benz, so customers will certainly welcome this step forward."

And this :

"The first ully electric Cadillac crossover will make its official debut this April, General Motors president Mark Reuss announced during the automaker’s Capital Markets Day presentation this week.

Cadillac first announced its electric crossover at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show last January, when it showed a digital rendering of the vehicle during a media presentation. While the luxury brand did not have a physical concept to present at the show, it promised the battery-powered crossover would be its first production electric vehicle and would debut its new flexible EV architecture.

Additionally, Reuss dropped some more information on the flexible architecture that will underpin the new electric Cadillac crossover. The executive described the platform as being almost like an ice cube tray, with the battery cells being the cubes. The design enables GM to easily add and remove the cells as needed, allowing the platform to underpin a wide variety of vehicles – from small sedans to large SUVs and more.

“It allows us to use as many battery packs as the vehicle specifications call for,” Reuss said. “Six for a smaller EV, or we can go up to 8, 10, 12, or even 24 [battery modules] stacked on top of each other. It allows for significant improvements over the previous generations, including larger footprint [vehicles] with lower height, higher energy density, a flexible modular design, and DC fast charging.”

Imagine what the CT6 would have been with this level of interior effort. SUVs are nice, but I want to see a Cadillac CAR with this level of effort, with the right engines and stunning design inside and out, from it's debut, not years later after the car gets cancelled.

Amen.

@Abbat, you're the GM guy 'round these parts....so are they still planning on doing something that's above the CT6, like a CT7 or CT8, or has that been cancelled? And are they really going to toss out the Blackwing V8 after just introducing it? If so, what waste.

Amen.

@Abbat, you're the GM...

Nothing has been cancelled. I know that they are working on a 4 door cabrio and a coupe. They will have proper names. Not "CT"es.

As for the blackwing. I was told that it was made for the big cars. Ct5 is too small for it.
I'm confident many upcoming models will get it.
I will have a conversation with my insiders in 2 weeks. Ill try to get some more detailed info.

Cadillac finally getting with the program ?

This could bode well for the brands future.

Nope, didn't say that. What I said was that I don't believe that more crossovers are coming on a R...

Actually this new RWD platform is a response to Ford’s new RWD platform that underpins the new 2020 Ford Explorer & Lincoln Aviator. Similarly GM’s new RWD platform will underpin the replacements for the Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave & GMC Acadia in addition to the new Cadillac xt7/8. The Cadillac xt6 will most likely be discontinued once the new Cadillac suv based on this RWD platform arrives.

Cadillac will show its pre-production midsize EV crossover in april. Will be called "Lyriq".

Cadillac Lyriq will be based on GM’s new BEV3 modular electric platform and will be available in two-wheel-drive(RWD) or all-wheel-drive variants.

Cadillac electric crossover will feature the brand’s next-generation design language, pulling heavy inspiration from the NAIAS 2019 concept pictured in this article. We also hear it will feature “inspiring” driving dynamics, so we wouldn’t be surprised if it’s available with a powerful electric drivetrain and features sporty handling characteristics.

The Lyriq will also be about the size of the mid-size Cadillac XT5 crossover, which is 189.6-inches long, 74.9-inches wide, 66.1 inches tall and has a wheelbase of 112.5-inches.

Another great news:

General Motors plans to announce the development of the Cadillac Celestiq flagship luxury sedan during its EV Day press event in Michigan today.

The Cadillac Celestiq will represent “the ultimate expression of Cadillac design and technology, with a bold, dramatic presence, and unparalleled refinement and innovation,” the luxury automaker said. It’s staying tight-lipped on the details, but the sedan will likely ride on GM’s new BEV3 modular electric platform, which will also underpin the Cadillac Lyriq electric crossover, and should be available in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive variants.

A concept version of the Cadillac Celestiq is expected to be shown later today during the EV Day event.

Indeed, it is. We need a true luxury American saloon from either Cadillac or Lincoln. Interior needs to be fully exclusive to Cadillac...

The problem with GM is that they promise too much and deliver too little.

Don't agree.

Escalade's dash shows that they can when they want.

Cadillac Lyriq.
Can't wait

"Pronounced “suh-less-tik, ” this huge, sleek, fastback sedan is Cadillac's latest attempt at a flagship. It's difficult to emphasize just how much design there is in this enormous sedan, as Cadillac didn't allow any photography at the event or indicate when the Celestiq would debut. Before we make that attempt, though, here are the things we know for certain

But that undersells just how much visual mass sits behind the spacious passenger compartment. The C-pillar is quite simply the largest we've ever seen on vehicle. It's not merely a slab of sheetmetal, though. Cadillac's designers split the taillights into two distinct L-shaped elements, with the upper half wrapping forward into that huge pillar.

As for the design, we suggest looking to the Cadillac Lyriq crossover. While that car will debut well before the Celestiq – April 2, to be precise – Cadillac Lead Exterior Designer Magalie Debellis and her team penned the sedan first and the CUV second. The Celestiq is far longer, much lower, and significantly wider than the Lyriq – it's a striking piece of design, if not an especially attractive one.

The fascia on the Celestiq and Lyriq are remarkably similar, with an identical grille design down to the lighting effects. The vertical headlights and the subtle LED slivers that serve as turn signals remain as well. Smooth and rounded, the Celestiq is subtly tear-drop shaped, with hints of the current Jaguar XJ in its sumptuous shape and a more aggressive take on the first-gen Audi A7 in the profile.

For a start, the Celestiq will be a proper flagship, with a limited production run. Each example will also be hand-built, aside from the Ultium battery platform it rides atop. That means a custom-crafted two-plus-two cabin. Cadillac is promising warm, gorgeous woods and attractive leather, although this old-world charm might clash with the screen-intensive cabin. We didn't think it possible, but the Celestiq's dash display will dwarf even the Escalade, because the entire dash is a display. That's right, this big sedan adopts a dash-spanning screen that looks like a more attractive version of what Byton is doing."

Yes. Cadillac is coming back.

Time to make the Blackwing a crate engine. Shame for such a power plant to be a white elephant.

Blackwing is for the models that will be based on the new vss-r platform.

Nothing?

Nothing?

...

These pics were shown a long time ago. When they revealed the Xt6.
I think that concept that was shown yesterday was more realistic inside.
