Cadillac Unveils Elevated Velocity EV with V-Series Performance

Cadillac has unveiled the Elevated Velocity, a 2+2 electric crossover concept that  blends V-Series performance with off-road capability and immersive technology. Unveiled ahead of its official debut at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in Carmel, California, on Aug. 15, the vehicle showcases Cadillac’s vision for high-end electric mobility designed for diverse terrains.

“‘Elevate’ has a double meaning: it refers to the lifted chassis for high-speed off-road capability and to an elevated luxury experience,” said Cadillac Brand Senior Designer Alexandra Dymowska.

The Elevated Velocity features a fully electric architecture, though technical specifications—such as power output, driving range, and ground clearance—have not been disclosed. The concept is currently a design study with no production plans.

The vehicle offers four driving modes:

• e-Velocity: Optimized for highway driving

• Terra Mode: Tailored for off-road conditions

• Sand Vision: Enhances visibility in sandstorms

• Elements Defy: Repels dust and debris from the exterior

The interior emphasizes functionality and customization, featuring red leather seats, tinted acrylic finishes, a secure storage compartment, and a custom polo set matching the exterior. The climate control system adapts to dry air, extreme temperatures, and altitude changes.

Externally, the Elevated Velocity sports a gray-blue body with contrasting red interior elements. The 24-inch wheels feature illuminated details, while the front and rear lighting employ a three-dimensional design language that may influence future Cadillac models.

“Like polo in the desert, where speed, skill, and elegance converge, this concept envisions a refined and exciting experience where the art of mastery meets adrenaline,” Dymowska said.
