Cadillac Eldorado video.
Last Updated:
This is a short video showing what a new Cadillac Eldorado would look like if GM was still making actual cars.
Right now they only have the Cadillac CT4 and CT5 which are disappearing soon. These will be replaced by 2 all-new Ultium-based EV sedans soon. Which will be good news for anyone not obsessed with SUVs. Recent Cadillac models have all been SUVs. (Except for the Celestiq). All-new sedans will be quite refreshing. I also think it is time for a new design language for the famous luxury brand. Or have at least one model that stands out by using a few classic retro Cadillac design cues.
For many years, 2 door Cadillacs were actually more popular than their sedans. Even the larger Deville models sold better as 2 sedans than 4-door sedans. These days are long gone.
The Ultium EV platform is doing great for Cadillac. With the Lyriq quickly becoming their second most popular model behind the Escalade. And will do even better with the cheaper Optiq that just came out.
A true 2 door coupe using the legendary Eldorado name would be even better. Even if not as popular as the new sedan it would be based on.
Mercedes is still making a luxury coupe. Just one. The new CLE is available as a coupe or convertible. At $58,000 to start, the 2.0 Liter 4 cylinder version, isn’t cheap. (almost $10,000 more for the 6-cylinder trim).
I think Cadillac could easily come up with a new large Ultium coupe larger than the CLE. Something expensive but not competing against Bentley or Rolls. Unlike the misguided Celestiq. And something retro. I am pretty sure these old Cadillac design cues could work on a very modern car.
Please join me and watch the video above. And don’t forget to mention which of these is your favorite.
