Compare the2024 Cadillac CelestiqVS 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre

For enhanced safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Cadillac Celestiq are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The Rolls-Royce Spectre doesn’t offer height-adjustable seat belts.

In the past twenty years hundreds of infants and young children have died after being left in vehicles, usually by accident. When turning the vehicle off, drivers of the Celestiq are reminded to check the back seat if they opened the rear door before starting out. The Spectre doesn’t offer a back seat reminder.

Over 200 people are killed each year when backed over by motor vehicles. The Celestiq has standard Reverse Automatic Braking that uses rear sensors to monitor for objects to the rear and automatically applies the brakes to prevent a collision. The Spectre doesn’t offer backup collision prevention brakes.

Both the Celestiq and Spectre have rear cross-traffic warning, but the Celestiq has Rear Cross Traffic Braking (automatically applies the brakes) to better prevent a collision when backing near traffic. The Spectre’s Cross Traffic Warning doesn’t automatically brake.

Both the Celestiq and the Spectre have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors and rear cross-path warning.

Cadillac’s powertrain warranty covers the Celestiq 2 years longer than Rolls-Royce covers the Spectre. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 6 years or 70,000 miles. Coverage on the Spectre ends after only 4 years.

The Celestiq’s corrosion warranty is 2 years longer than the Spectre’s (6 vs. 4 years).

There are almost 15 times as many Cadillac dealers as there are Rolls-Royce dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Celestiq’s warranty.

The Celestiq’s electric motors produces 23 more horsepower (600 vs. 577) than the Spectre’s electric motors.

The Celestiq can travel longer on a full charge than the Spectre on a full charge:

For better traction, the Celestiq has larger tires than the Spectre (285/35R23 vs. 255/45R22). The Celestiq’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Spectre (285/35R23 vs. 255/40R23).

The Celestiq’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 40 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Spectre’s standard 45 series front tires. The Celestiq’s optional tires have a lower 35 series profile than the Spectre’s optional 40 series front tires.

The Celestiq has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle’s integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The Spectre doesn’t offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.

Having a flat tire is dangerous, inconvenient and expensive. The self-sealing tires standard on the Celestiq can automatically seal most punctures up to 3/16 of an inch, effectively preventing most flat tires. The Spectre doesn’t offer self-sealing tires.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Celestiq’s wheelbase is 3.8 inches longer than on the Spectre (130.2 inches vs. 126.4 inches).

The Cadillac Celestiq may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 350 pounds less than the Rolls-Royce Spectre.

The Celestiq has two rear doors to provide better access for cargo and rear passengers. The Spectre doesn’t offer rear doors.

The Celestiq’s standard oscillating air vents move back and forth and distribute air evenly inside the vehicle, making everyone more comfortable. The Spectre doesn’t offer oscillating vents.

The Celestiq’s automated parking system can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. Remote Auto Parking will park and retrieve your car remotely: press a button and watch it park itself. This is ideal for tight locations. The Spectre’s automatic parking system requires operating the brakes and transmission to safely park and it doesn’t offer remote control parking.
