2020 Cadillac Ciel Concept
The concept of the 2020 Cadillac Ciel has been unveiled not long ago. We can say that the upcoming luxury car will be designed in the currently trending Germanic styling from this unveiling. It will look like a long yet low car with four doors. The rear doors will be rear-hinged. The cockpit will not be ‘open-air,’ and its amazing interior will be visible from the outside.
The concept also includes holographic instrumentation as well as touch-sensitive pads put on each door handle. There is also wood trim on the front seatbacks. Interestingly enough, the concept of the Ciel does not have a roof. These seem improbable, but then again, it is a concept. How Cadillac will execute it is another matter.
While adheres to the ‘Art and Science’ of Cadillac’s design language, the concept also defies it by incorporating various organic curvatures on places where you may expect angles and planes. From the design perspective, the car is really luxurious.
Exterior
As for the exterior, we can expect it to be stylish, attractive, and of course, luxurious. According to a Cadillac official, the Ciel will incorporate a good amount of high-strength steel and aluminum.
If that is true, then Ciel will have a ‘slim’ total weight. Consequently, it will also have improved not only performance but also fuel economy.
According to the concept, the overall length of the Ciel is 203.7-inch while its wheelbase is 125-inch. With this size, the Ciel is larger than the Audi A8 and BMW 7 while more or less has the same size as the current S-Class. From the size, it seems Cadillac is aiming to go after BMW’s ride and handling dynamics.
2020 Cadillac Ciel Interior
As a luxury car, the interior will have a luxurious, sophisticated, and modern look. Some rumors even suggested that the seating will be manufactured with the highest standards and covered with high-quality materials.
These also apply to other parts, including the control table. The control table is said to have high-quality leather and wood covering it.
We can expect the upcoming 2020 Cadillac Ciel to get the latest infotainment system in terms of features. Or, better yet, a brand new infotainment system. It should also come with features such as a touchscreen display, Bluetooth, USB, Wi-Fi, navigation, traction control, rearview camera, parking assist, collision control warning system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, and a high-quality audio system
2020 Cadillac Ciel Specs
According to Cadillac’s concept, the 2020 Cadillac Ciel will come with a 3.6L, twin-turbo V6 engine. This engine will be able to generate up to 430 horsepower with 610 lb-ft of torque.
This is a quite high output, but it shouldn’t be surprising. Such output is somewhat expected in a luxury car. Currently, it is not known with an automatic or manual gearbox, the engine will be paired with.
Some rumors suggest the upcoming Ciel will get a hybrid engine as well. The hybrid version is said to use the same engine. The difference is that it will be paired with two electric motors. No further detail is known regarding the hybrid engine’s output.il
What makes Ciel interesting is that Cadillac’s decision to use a twin-turbo V6 engine instead of a V8 engine. The V8 engine is powerful, and it is often used in other luxury cars such as the S-Class, the A8, and the 7 Series.
It seems that Cadillac wants to know how far a luxury can go without using a V8 engine. On its own, a twin-turbo V6 engine is powerful enough. Will it be enough to compete against other luxury cars with a V8 engine? No one knows. Only time will tell.
2020 Cadillac Ciel Release Date and Price

As for the price, while we don’t know exactly how much it will be, we can safely say that it will cost over $100,000. The 2020 Cadillac Ciel is, after all, meant to be Cadillac’s luxury car. It is made to compete against Mercedes S-Class and the likes.
