Cadillac

One of GM’s four U.S. brands, Cadillac has a reputation for advanced technology and driving performance, though some of its models have fallen short of true luxury pampering.

The brand's flagship SUV is the full-size Escalade (regular) and Escalade ESV (extended) SUV, a relative of the Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban and GMC Yukon/Yukon XL. It recently discontinued a couple of gas-powered SUVs but continues to offer the compact XT5. Likewise, its car lineup has been pared down in recent years but still includes the CT4 and CT5 sedans, both of which offer high-performance Blackwing variants.

It’s also at the forefront of GM’s shift to electric vehicles with the Lyriq mid-size SUV’s 2023 debut. That was followed by the compact Optiq and three-row mid-size Vistiq. Topping the EV line is the full-size Escalade IQ, which comes in regular and extended IQL versions. There’s also a limited, ultraluxe Celestiq sedan that’s essentially built to order, with a starting price of around $400,000.
