Cadillac is stepping into the super-premium market with the Celestiq, which comes in at over $300,000, putting it right alongside Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

This 18-foot-long electric hatchback is more than just a car; it’s a unique experience crafted through a detailed build process. 

Not many people will get to own the Celestiq, but we had the opportunity to take a quick spin in a prototype during Monterey Car Week, and it really impressed us.

The Celestiq really stands out with its long body, sleek rear hatchback, and those impressive 23-inch wheels.

The hatchback design really makes it stand out from the usual luxury sedans, adding a bit of that yacht-like vibe.

Just a simple push of a button and the big rear door swings open on its own, making it super easy to get in.

The cabin really highlights Cadillac's signature style, featuring a full-width screen dashboard that’s reminiscent of the upcoming electric Escalade iQ.

The back seats are cozy with their soft leather and provide plenty of legroom, though the roofline is a bit lower than what you’d find-

in competitors like the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Even so, there was enough headroom for this 5-foot-11-inch reviewer.

The inside has some really nice materials, like metal speaker grilles and wood trim that add a touch of elegance.

Passengers in the back get to enjoy 12.6-inch screens attached to the front seats, which let them stream, browse the internet, and control the audio.

The rear-seat center console features a third screen that lets you control climate settings and adjust seat-

functions, including heating and massage options. The armrests have some pretty strong heating features.

Driving at night made it tricky to see the road conditions, but the Celestiq provided a smooth and quiet ride.

The panoramic glass roof has this cool electrochromic tinting that really gives it a futuristic vibe, especially with those striped lights shining through.

Even though our ride was short, we really liked how comfortable and high-quality the Celestiq felt.

Initial deliveries are planned for the fourth quarter, and Cadillac's Artisan Center is expected to make about 400 custom Celestiqs each year.

We're excited about having a longer experience, especially from the driver's seat.
