The brand has been favored by presidents, celebrities, and affluent individuals seeking a premium automotive experience.

Cadillac vehicles are known for their bold and distinctive design language, characterized by sharp lines, aggressive front grilles, and a blend of modern and classic elements. The brand often incorporates cutting-edge technologies and innovative lighting features into its designs. While luxury and comfort are key aspects of Cadillac vehicles, the brand also offers high-performance models under its V-Series and V-Series Blackwing designations. These performance-oriented models feature powerful engines, sport-tuned suspensions, and track-ready enhancements.

In recent years, Cadillac has been focusing on electric and hybrid vehicles as part of GM's broader strategy toward electrification. The brand introduced the Cadillac Lyriq, an all-electric luxury SUV, and has plans to release additional electric models in the coming years. One of Cadillac's most recognizable models is the Escalade, a full-size luxury SUV. The Escalade is known for its imposing presence, opulent interior, advanced features, and strong performance.
