The Cadillac Goddess statuette is returning to the brand with the latest generation of Cadillac vehicles. The iconic figure, long associated with the American luxury marque, has historically appeared on hoods from the 1930s through the 1950s and most recently graced a limited edition Eldorado Brougham in 1959. For today’s models, the new version of the figurine moves from the hood to the dashboard, and it now sits within the center console control module. Crafted from glass, it serves as a refined, tactile emblem that owners can appreciate up close, complementing the modern interior materials and design language Cadillac is known for. These changes reflect Cadillac’s commitment to reviving a beloved symbol while aligning it with contemporary automotive aesthetics and cabin technology. The first model in the current lineup to feature the updated statuette is the Celestiq, signaling a bridge between heritage and a forward-looking luxury experience for buyers in North America and beyond.

The vehicle measures 4750 millimeters in length, a size that places it in the comfortable middle of the segment, aiming to attract buyers seeking practical dimensions without sacrificing style or performance. The Deep Blue line continues Changan’s push into smart cockpit features and efficient powertrains, aligning with evolving consumer expectations for connected experiences on the road.
