At Monterey Car Week, Cadillac unveiled the Elevated Velocity Concept, a bold, all-electric 2+2 crossover that seamlessly merges performance, wellness, and off-road capability, all within Cadillac’s luxury framework.
In keeping with Cadillac’s “Art of Exhilaration” philosophy, this concept reimagines the typical EV: aerodynamic fastback silhouette, 24‑inch illuminated flax‑fiber wheels, and dramatic gullwing doors that swing upward in “Welcome Mode” to greet occupants amid ambient lighting.
The exterior’s Vapor Blue paint contrasts strikingly with a vibrant Morello Red interior, giving shape to its dual identity, “Elevated” for interior luxury, “Velocity” for desert performance.
Innovative Tech Meets Terrain Versatility
The concept introduces a suite of intelligent drive and user modes:
- e‑Velocity Mode—a V-Series‑inspired setting optimized for on-road thrill.
- Terra Mode—engages air suspension for elevated ground clearance and rugged terrain traversing.
- Sand Vision—enhances visibility in sandstorms through augmented vision tech.
- Elements Defy—activates exterior vibrations that repel dirt and sand, ensuring the vehicle stays pristine in extreme environments.
From Autonomous Lounge to Performance Cockpit
The interior intentionally transforms with your journey. In Elevate Mode, the steering wheel and pedals retract, ambient lights shift reddish, and a refreshing environment—complete with infrared lighting, air filtration, aromatherapy, and synchronized cabin breathing cues, turns the cabin into a wellness refuge.
Switch to Velocity Mode, and the cabin shifts to cool white lighting, AR-head-up navigation, and manual controls for focused, performance driving.
Beyond Concept—A Vision for Cadillac’s EV Future
Though not yet slated for production, Elevated Velocity builds on last year’s Opulent Velocity concept, and signals where Cadillac’s V‑Series–inspired electric future is headed: blending luxury, health-conscious design, and off-road functionality in one striking package.
This concept illustrates Cadillac’s foresight in crafting electric vehicles that are immersive, adaptive companions that elevate every journey.
