Infotainment & Connectivity

Large, high-resolution touchscreens (up to 33 inches in Escalade)

In Cadillac’s flagship Escalade model, drivers are greeted with an impressive 33-inch OLED screen. This high-resolution display serves as a central command center for all the vehicle’s infotainment and connectivity features. The expansive screen size allows for crisp visuals and seamless interaction with a variety of applications. Real-life usage might involve a driver quickly glancing at navigation routes or accessing entertainment options for rear-seat passengers without losing focus on the road. The size of the screen means more information can be displayed simultaneously, reducing the need for toggling between functions. This is especially beneficial on long road trips, where accessing navigation, music, and other essentials needs to be effortless.

Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Google built-in infotainment system (select models)

Gone are the days of tangled cords. Cadillac’s integration of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in its latest models ensures that your smartphone’s key features are always at your fingertips, without the need for a physical connection. Whether it's responding to texts via voice commands, streaming your favorite playlists, or using third-party navigation apps, Cadillac makes the process smooth. Imagine driving to a meeting, receiving a last-minute update via text, and responding without taking your hands off the wheel. With the wireless connection, your phone can remain in your pocket or bag, all while you enjoy full access to its functionalities.

Cadillac’s partnership with Google takes the infotainment experience to the next level, particularly in models like the Lyriq. With Google built-in, users benefit from Google Assistant, Google Maps, and even the Google Play Store. Google Assistant allows for natural voice commands, such as asking for directions to the nearest gas station or playing a specific playlist. Google Maps seamlessly integrates into the car’s display, offering real-time traffic updates and rerouting suggestions, all without needing to touch your phone. This integration ensures drivers remain connected while minimizing distractions.

5G Wi-Fi hotspot capability and AKG premium audio systems

For drivers and passengers alike, Cadillac’s 5G Wi-Fi hotspot transforms the car into a mobile connectivity hub. Whether you’re on a family road trip or commuting with coworkers, the ability to connect multiple devices at once means staying productive or entertained is easier than ever. For instance, rear-seat passengers can stream videos on their tablets while the driver accesses real-time navigation updates without lag. This feature proves particularly useful for families on long drives or professionals who need constant internet access for work.

Cadillac’s partnership with AKG has revolutionized in-car audio experiences. The AKG premium audio system, available in many Cadillac models, delivers crystal-clear sound quality that makes every journey more enjoyable. Imagine driving through scenic routes, with your favorite songs playing at studio-level clarity, immersing everyone in the vehicle in a concert-like experience. Whether it’s a casual city drive or a long-distance road trip, this audio system enhances every moment spent on the road.

Cadillac Super Cruise (hands-free driving on compatible highways)

Super Cruise is Cadillac’s answer to hands-free driving, designed for long stretches of compatible highways. This advanced system uses a combination of LiDAR mapping, GPS, and an array of sensors to allow for hands-free driving, making long trips less tiring. For example, while traveling on a multi-state journey, the driver can engage Super Cruise and let the vehicle handle the driving, all while staying alert to the road. Cadillac’s system monitors the driver’s attention with a built-in camera, ensuring they are ready to take over if needed. This not only enhances safety but also reduces driver fatigue, making the vehicle ideal for extended drives.

Convenience & Comfort

Digital instrument clusters

The digital instrument cluster in Cadillac’s latest models provides a customizable and clear view of essential driving information. Drivers can switch between different layouts, showcasing everything from speed and navigation to fuel efficiency metrics. For instance, if you're driving in an unfamiliar area, the cluster can prioritize navigation instructions, reducing the need to look away from the road. This digital flexibility ensures that each driver can adjust the interface to suit their specific needs, whether focusing on performance, navigation, or safety metrics.

Head-up displays

Cadillac’s head-up display projects key information directly onto the windshield, allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road while accessing critical details like speed, navigation, and safety alerts. This feature is especially useful when driving in busy urban environments or unfamiliar territory, as it prevents unnecessary distractions caused by looking down at the dashboard. For example, when navigating downtown streets, the head-up display can show turn-by-turn directions, ensuring the driver never has to look away from the road ahead.

Massaging seats, Panoramic sunroofs and Wireless charging pads

Long drives can be taxing, but Cadillac’s massaging seats ensure that comfort is always within reach. With various massage settings, these seats provide relief from the strain of long periods behind the wheel, making every journey a luxurious experience. Imagine driving for hours on a highway—massaging seats can help alleviate tension in the back and legs, making the trip more enjoyable. Whether it's a quick run to the grocery store or a cross-country road trip, Cadillac’s massaging seats add an extra level of relaxation.

Cadillac’s panoramic sunroofs flood the cabin with natural light, enhancing the overall sense of space and connection to the outdoors. For families or individuals who enjoy scenic drives, this feature allows passengers to take in the views from every angle. Whether it's a sunny afternoon drive through the mountains or a starlit night journey, the panoramic sunroof offers an expansive view, elevating the driving experience for everyone in the vehicle.

For the tech-savvy driver, Cadillac’s wireless charging pad is a game-changer. Simply place your phone on the pad, and it will begin charging without the need for cords. This is especially convenient for those who rely on their phones for navigation or hands-free communication during long drives. With the wireless charger, your phone stays powered throughout the trip, ensuring you never miss an important call or run out of battery when you need it most.

Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist

Parking in tight spaces can be stressful, but Cadillac’s Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist simplifies the process. Whether it’s parallel or perpendicular parking, this system takes over steering, accelerating, and braking, making parking in even the most congested areas effortless. For instance, when navigating busy city streets in Tustin, the system can identify a parking spot and park the vehicle with minimal driver input. This feature reduces the anxiety of parking in difficult or narrow spots, enhancing the overall driving experience.

Remote start

Cadillac’s remote start feature allows drivers to start their vehicle from a distance, ensuring the car is perfectly climate-controlled by the time you get in. On hot summer days in Tustin or chilly winter mornings, remote start can be activated via the key fob or Cadillac app, allowing the cabin to cool down or heat up before you enter. This adds a layer of convenience and comfort, ensuring your vehicle is always ready for the drive ahead.

Safety Features

Cadillac has always been synonymous with luxury and innovation, but in recent years, they've also placed a strong emphasis on safety. The 2024 models exemplify this commitment, incorporating a suite of advanced safety features designed to protect both drivers and pedestrians. Let's explore some of the standout technologies that make the latest Cadillacs among the safest on the road.

At the heart of Cadillac's safety suite lies the Cadillac Smart System. This comprehensive collection of driver-assistance features comes standard on all 2024 models, ensuring a baseline level of protection for every driver. One of its key components is Automatic Emergency Braking. This system utilizes sensors to monitor the road ahead, and if it detects an imminent collision, it can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate an impact. Working in tandem with this is Forward Collision Alert, which provides visual and audible warnings to give the driver time to react.

Pedestrian safety is also a priority, thanks to Front Pedestrian Braking. This technology helps detect pedestrians crossing the vehicle's path and can apply the brakes if necessary to prevent a collision. To further aid in accident prevention, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning gently steers the vehicle back into its lane if it starts to drift without signaling, while also alerting the driver with visual and audible cues.

Navigating busy intersections and parking lots is made safer with Rear Cross Traffic Alert. This system warns the driver of approaching vehicles from the side when backing out of a parking space or driveway. Additionally, Blind Zone Steering Assist helps prevent lane-change collisions by providing steering assistance if the driver attempts to change lanes while a vehicle is detected in their blind spot.

Maintaining a safe following distance is crucial for avoiding rear-end collisions. The Following Distance Indicator helps drivers gauge the distance between their vehicle and the one ahead, promoting safer driving habits. Finally, IntelliBeam Auto High Beams automatically switch between high and low beams based on surrounding traffic, ensuring optimal visibility without blinding other drivers.

For those seeking even more advanced safety features, Cadillac offers the Available Active Safety Package. This package builds upon the Cadillac Smart System with additional technologies to further enhance driver awareness and protection. One notable feature is Adaptive Cruise Control, which not only maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead but can also bring the car to a complete stop and accelerate again in traffic jams. The Active Safety Package also includes Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, which extends the capabilities of the standard system to provide braking assistance in more complex driving scenarios. Reverse Automatic Braking adds an extra layer of protection when backing up, automatically applying the brakes if an obstacle is detected.

Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking is another valuable feature, designed to help prevent collisions when crossing intersections. It uses sensors to monitor for cross traffic and can apply the brakes if a potential collision is detected. To improve overall awareness, HD Surround Vision provides a bird's-eye view of the vehicle and its surroundings, making parking and maneuvering in tight spaces easier and safer. The package also includes Rear Pedestrian Alert, which warns the driver of pedestrians behind the vehicle when reversing. Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert further enhances lane-change safety by alerting the driver if a vehicle is detected in their blind spot or approaching rapidly from behind.

Lastly, Traffic Sign Recognition helps drivers stay informed of speed limits and other important road signs, while Speed Limit Assist can automatically adjust the vehicle's speed to match the posted limit. These features work together to create a comprehensive safety net, giving Cadillac drivers greater confidence and peace of mind on the road.

Additional Features

Let's take a look at a few additional features that, while not standard across the board, can further elevate your Cadillac driving experience and prioritize safety.

Night Vision: Driving at night or in poorly lit areas can be challenging, but Cadillac's Night Vision system helps mitigate those risks. Using thermal imaging technology, it detects heat signatures of pedestrians and large animals, projecting them onto the driver's display. This allows for earlier detection and reaction time, potentially preventing accidents in low-visibility situations.

Super Cruise: Arguably one of the most groundbreaking features in recent years, Super Cruise enables hands-free driving on compatible highways. Combining LiDAR mapping, precise GPS, and a driver attention system, Super Cruise allows you to take your hands off the wheel and feet off the pedals in certain conditions, making long drives less tiring and more enjoyable. It's a testament to Cadillac's commitment to innovation and pushing the boundaries of automotive technology.

3D Surround Vision: Parking and maneuvering in tight spaces can be stressful, but 3D Surround Vision makes it a breeze. This system uses multiple cameras to create a virtual 360-degree view of the vehicle and its surroundings, displayed on the infotainment screen. With this bird's-eye perspective, you can easily navigate obstacles and park with precision. It's a particularly useful feature in urban environments or when parking in crowded lots.

Rear Seat Reminder: While it may seem like a small feature, the Rear Seat Reminder can be a lifesaver. It reminds drivers to check the back seat before exiting the vehicle, helping to prevent tragic incidents where children or pets are left unattended in hot cars. This simple yet effective technology demonstrates Cadillac's attention to detail and commitment to the safety of all occupants.
