Two Distinct Experiences: Opulent and Velocity

What sets the Opulent Velocity apart is its ability to offer two distinct driving experiences, each catering to different facets of luxury and performance.

Opulent: The Pinnacle of Autonomous Luxury

Imagine a world where your car not only drives itself but also offers a sanctuary of peace and tranquility. The Opulent experience is designed to provide just that—a level of luxury where time becomes a personal indulgence. With Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities, Opulent mode allows for a fully hands-free experience, immersing the driver in a multi-sensory environment. This mode leverages Cadillac's expertise in sound and light wave science, curating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and relaxing. The cabin, illuminated by ambient lighting and enriched with curated art and entertainment, becomes a personalized space of serenity, all managed through a widescreen display and next-generation Augmented Reality Head-Up Display (AR HUD).

For those who crave the thrill of the drive, the Velocity experience delivers the full power and performance expected from a Cadillac V-Series. At the touch of a button, the Opulent Velocity transforms from a serene autonomous cruiser into a hypercar brimming with raw energy. In this mode, the steering wheel and pedals emerge, inviting the driver to take control and experience the adrenaline rush of Cadillac’s Blackwing-inspired engineering. The front seats, cleverly integrated with a cantilevered Y-shaped console, provide maximum support during high-speed maneuvers, ensuring that the driver feels connected to the vehicle at all times.

Velocity mode is more than just speed; it’s about precision and performance. It includes a “Ghost Car” function on the HUD, offering a competitive driving experience where drivers can challenge their own lap times or race against peers on designated tracks. This mode also features advanced driving enhancements, including real-time road condition overlays, active aerodynamics, and suspension adjustments, giving drivers the tools to push their limits and experience the ultimate in luxury performance.
