Cadillac Eldorado Coupe.

The good old Cadillac Eldorado Coupe disappeared back in 2002 when sales had drastically come down to just 5661 units. A third of what they were just 3 years before. It took 7 years for Cadillac to come up with another coupe with the 2009 CTS Coupe. A striking-looking car, but of course, not an Eldorado. A much smaller and sportier version of a 2-door Cadillac coupe. And that also wasn’t that successful.

We have seen a few fantastic 2-door coupe concepts from Cadillac. Like the Elmiraj or Ciel. These would have made great new Eldorado models. But that never happened. Instead, we now have now are more and more SUVs, year after year. Since that’s what people actually buy these days.

If there were to be a new Cadillac Eldorado would of course be based on GM’s Ultium platform. Since GM has nothing else currently for new Cadillacs. A super quiet and fast Cadillac coupe with well over 300 miles of range would surely attract a few people. It might not sell as well as their SUVs, but it would basically be a giant advertising poster for the brand. Something I’m afraid the $340,000 Celestiq won’t be. It’s not relatable to anyone except a few billionaires looking for a cool new toy.

We will soon see what the future new Cadillac sedans look like. As far as we know, they will, of course, be Ultium-based. However, a recent rumor mentioned an updated, more upscale platform called BEV Prime. Both new sedans will have a fastback profile.

A big coupe based on the larger sedan would be a welcome addition to the historical brand. And of course, the legendary “Eldorado” name is ready to go
