While most North American carmakers want to reduce the size of their passenger car lineups, Cadillac might do well to expand it. So, perhaps it's time for a reborn Caddy Eldorado land yacht?
Last year, Cadillac fared great in terms of sales, and the main assets weren't the CUVs and SUVs as everyone would expect. Instead, the US automaker highlighted the V-Series (CT4-V, CT5-V, Blackwings, and Escalade-V) for the local market and, surprisingly, the CT5 mid-size luxury sedan on a worldwide level. As such, curiously, it turns out that the latter was its best-selling nameplate in 2023.
The luxury brand is currently in the midst of a veritable revolution, so it's nice to see that its traditional models are still going strong. More precisely, Cadillac is set to embark on the EV journey with more models than we can count – the Optiq compact CUV, the on-sale Lyriq mid-size SUV, the upcoming Vistiq three-row crossover, as well as the mighty flagships, the Escalade IQ and the $340k Celestiq five-door liftback sedan.
In fact, Cadillac is reportedly coming to market with additional sedans tucked on top of the new BEV Prime all-electric architecture that is a more premium take on the BEV3 with Ultium technology and hopefully devoid of the many issues that plagued GM's all-electric roster so far. Naturally, once the rumor mill catches a sniff of something new and cool, the imaginative realm of digital car content creators is never too far behind it.
As such, no one should be surprised that Vince Burlapp (aka vburlapp on social media), a prolific virtual artist who loves to dream of all the latest models across the wide-ranging automotive realm, has already illustrated the latest EV endeavors on Cadillac's behalf. His unofficial mid-size and large Caddy EV sedans could easily fit alongside the Optiq, Lyriq, and Vistiq crossovers alongside the Escalade IQ and Celestiq flagships. So, where there's space for two, it might be enough to squeeze in yet another idea, right?
Thus, here's the prolific pixel master dreaming about a potential revival of the fabled Cadillac Eldorado, an American personal luxury car that was produced between 1953 and 2002, both with RWD (1953-1966) and front-wheel drive (1967-2002) across no less than twelve generations as one of the best epitomes of American land yachts. The CGI expert's vision is, of course, a two-door hardtop coupe that embraces the EV lifestyle at Cadillac with BEV3 or BEV Prime and Ultium credentials.
Although well aware that the market for large coupes is shrinking continuously, the author thinks that Cadillac could easily modify the larger of the upcoming EV sedans into a land yacht-type coupe that could sell a lot cheaper than the $340k Celestiq. So, how does a $100k Cadillac Eldorado EV revival sound to you? Juicy or not?
