By: Cristina Carpio
The Vancouver Auto Show was a spectacle of innovation and style this year. Cadillac stole the spotlight with the debut of their electrifying EV lineup: the Cadillac Escalade IQ, OPTIQ, LYRIQ and the Cadillac VISTIQ. Attendees were treated to a bold vision of the future of luxury mobility and Evolve was right there to witness it all.
Positioned as the brand’s gateway luxury SUV, the Cadillac OPTIQ made its Canadian debut with sleek lines, a futuristic interior, and Cadillac’s signature lighting choreography. The compact luxury SUV is aimed at urban drivers seeking both performance and style in a sustainable package. The OPTIQ is designed with next-gen Ultium battery technology, delivering impressive range without sacrificing the spirited drive for which Cadillac is known.
Also commanding attention at the show were Cadillac’s cornerstone EVs: the Escalade IQ and the LYRIQ.
The Escalade IQ is the electrified evolution of Cadillac’s most iconic nameplate, and it did not disappoint. Massive in presence and packed with cutting-edge features, this full-size luxury SUV brings the boldness of the Escalade brand into the electric era. With stunning vertical lighting signatures, a tech-filled interior, and over 450 miles of projected range, the Escalade IQ is a powerful statement on wheels.
Meanwhile, the Cadillac LYRIQ, already a familiar name in Cadillac’s EV family, showcased its production refinements and continued to draw admiration from visitors. With its sleek silhouette, whisper-quiet ride, and intuitive tech, including a 33-inch curved LED display, the LYRIQ continues to prove that electric vehicles can be both emotionally engaging and practically designed.
Evolve’s Exclusive Moment: Behind the Curtain With the CELESTIQ
While the show floor buzzed with excitement, Evolve was granted an exclusive look behind the scenes at the Cadillac CELESTIQ ahead of its official debut in Vancouver. The brand’s ultra-luxury, hand-built electric flagship. The CELESTIQ isn’t just a car, it’s a statement. With a starting price well into six figures, each unit is custom-built for its owner, boasting artisan craftsmanship, avant-garde design, and unmatched technology.
From the sweeping glass roof with individual light control to the curved infotainment screen stretching across the dashboard, the CELESTIQ offers a glimpse of Cadillac’s design philosophy without boundaries. During our behind-the-scenes look, we got up close with the intricate details that make the CELESTIQ a rolling piece of art. From precision-milled aluminum trim to hand-stitched leather and bespoke customization options, it’s truly a masterpiece and redefines what modern luxury means in the EV space.
Cadillac’s EV Strategy in Full Swing
With the OPTIQ and VISTIQ entering the scene, the LYRIQ and Escalade IQ reinforcing Cadillac’s luxury EV credibility, and the CELESTIQ pushing boundaries of bespoke craftsmanship, Cadillac is firing on all cylinders—or rather, batteries—in its electric revolution. The Vancouver Auto Show gave visitors a taste of what’s coming, and Cadillac made sure to leave a lasting impression.
