Meet the Women Behind Cadillac’s $340,000 EV Aimed at Rolls-Royce

The Celestiq will feature more high-end customization than any prior Cadillac—and it’s key to CEO Mary Barra’s plan for the future of the brand.

When General Motors Co. announced in March that it would name its new luxury car customization shop in Warren, Michigan, after Suzanne Vanderbilt, a pioneering designer who shaped the Cadillacs of the 1950s, the gesture felt appropriate. The atelier was built to do work on the Celestiq, a totally new, elite car created with women at the helm.

The $340,000 electric hatchback will be Cadillac’s new flagship vehicle, promising technologies including next-generation hands-free driver assistance, a 55-inch digital dashboard and smart glass in the roof that can be tinted at a touch.
