    Cadillac SuperCruise Adds Miles

      ...another 70,000 miles of roadways are now SuperCruise capable...

       

    Cadillac SuperCruise will be available on over 200,000 miles of North American roadways later this year.  Cadillac is adding an additional 70,000 miles to the existing 130,000 miles already in the system by the 4th quarter 2019.  Cadillac owners will receive an over-the-air update once the system upgrade is completed. 

    On top of the increase in SuperCruise map availability, Cadillac will also make system adjustments to improve performance and enhancements to the Driver Attention system.   Last year Cadillac updated the system so that the car would automatically adjust lane centering if a large vehicle was passing close by and also added additional messages in the driver cluster to give more detail as to why SuperCruise may not be available at the moment. 

    Cadillac says that CT6 owners have driven more than 2.5 million miles with SuperCruise active since it was introduced on 2018 model year vehicles.

    BTW, I LOVE supercruise.  I wish I had the budget for a Cadillac with Supercruise.  It is the killer app for me in a car and would make me overlook some of the styling issues I've seen lately.

    Considering how many miles I put on my Escalade yearly all road trip miles, I would love this feature. I hope they roll it out on the next generation. I see no reason not too.

    Drew, is there a timeline when the whole Cadillac family gets Supercruise?

    All new Cadillacs will have it as an option.  The XT4 will get is and I would expect the XT5 to get it at its next refresh.

    Now that is good news.  Sounds like Cadillac will have a unique selling point for the first time in decades.  Now if only we can get luxury buyers to ditch Lexus and the Germans . . . . .

    The XT6 has not been released yet.  It probably will have SupperCruise sometime soon, as will the (currently nonexistent) XT7.

    Correct, XT6. i thought I originally read it would not have SuperCruise..

    That may be the case since is it based on a pre-supercruise platform.  If so, then the XT5 may not get it either.

    However, I do remember Cadillac saying that the entire lineup would have SC available sometime in the very near future. I want to say MY 2021 or something (which would be the correct timing for the new Escalade)

    That is hard to know as even the web site: https://www.cadillac.com/future-concept-vehicles/xt6-crossover-suv

    has stated the features are based on a pre-production model and could change.

    If Super Cruise is not on the XT6, that would be a mistake for Cadillac.

    Maybe because this is a preexisting platform by 2021 there will be a heavy refresh or new one on deck already..?

    The only reason I remember this is because I remember thinking it was ridiculous that their new, large,CUV, that is supposed to compete with the big BMW and Merc, didn't have their latest and greatest technology. I remember specifically being disappointed in its lack of SuperCruise.

      Genesis News: Genesis debuts a Long Wheelbase G90 Black Edition

      By oldshurst442 · Posted

      Yup. If BYD's battery system tech is true with 100% charging in 5 minutes.   Pretty much every body is toast. And it does not matter if the US and Canada tariff the crap out of BYD and Chinese EVs form their respective market.  BYD is already in the process of flooding their EVs all OVER the planet.  Including Mexico.   And if Trump pisses off Canada even more with tariffs, forget about Canada banning Tesla for the Canadian market, Canada might just drop our 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs and meight as well let BYD flood our market too.  China last week or two punished us with 100% tariffs on our porc and other food products that we sell to them.  Retaliatory. (where have  I heard that word before?)  Chinese importers will simply buy porc from other countries hurting our industry... If American tariffs on GM of Canada vehicles and FoMoCo Canada vehicles is still a go, our factories might close, but maybe if we let BYD flood our market, it will hurt GM and FoMoCo THAT much more. And it doesnt matter, Trump's economic war with ALL of its allies will doom GM and FoMoCo anyway.

      Genesis News: Genesis debuts a Long Wheelbase G90 Black Edition

      Ive thought about it.  And there are literally no luxury sedans (the big ones) in this modern era of the 2020s (and to be more precise to use 2025) that I currently lust for.   Nothing from Bentley or Rolls Royce.  Nothing from Mercedes or BMW.  The Audi A8?  I dont like it.  I like the medium version of the A8. The A6.  Precisely, the RS6 Avant.   This.     Americans dont do sedans anymore.  OK...Cadillac has got the CT5.  But it aint a big cruiser sedan.  I do like the Black Wing V Series.   I dont lust after it anymore.  I got over it.

      Cadillac's EV's seem to be selling though and Genesis's are not.  The Lyriq is more GV80 sized the Optic is GV70 size.  I think Cadillac could still step up the interiors a bit and the Ultium platform cars are still a bit heavy compared to other EVs, but I think they have a better line up than Genesis.  And Cadillac will have an EV sedan or 2 to replace the CT4/CT5, although rumor is one is mid-size and the other full size. Either way, I was just reading about the BYD Yangwang U7, which is a full size sedan, interior looks on par to a Genesis G90 but it has 1,287 hp and costs $86,000.  And it charges at 500 kw, and BYD has 1,000 kw charging cars going on sale this year.  And the Yangwang U8 SUV also is a boat, which the Escalade IQ cannot drive across rivers.  All these guys are toast anyway.

      I saw a black regular wheelbase G90 at the post office recently.  It’s a sharp car. But I prefer the styling of my black CT6 parked a couple spaces over.   As far as current luxobarges, I like the Audi A8 styling over the other Germans.

      I saw one of these coincidentally today. Not the longwheel base obviously.  Its not out yet as I understand this article.  The regular one. I do not know what year it was, but it was this current gen.  In person, its massive as a vehicle.  Imposing.  But it looks odd.  Not very stately.  Awkward and dare I say goofy. The front end looks good on it. But every other angle on it is just...dated.  Side angle and especially the back end,  looks like a luxury vehicle that would have come out from an Eastern communist  block  country...20 years ago.    I was approaching it from the rear. It was in front of me in the right lane as I was in the left lane and I didnt notice it until I was approximately next to it from this angle.    Then the traffic stopped in both lanes and I was next to it side by side.  An older gentleman was driving it. In his 70s for sure. If not older.  And I was in disgust for the car.  The outgoing Town Car of 15 years ago or so was more elegant. Despite it being a car from 1998...    Then I realized Lincoln makes no more bigely sedans... Cadillac too, has stopped with the cruiser sedans.  At least for North America. I just googled to see what the Chinese CT6 looks like And I now realize that the Asian luxury market prefers their cruiser sedans to have these kinds of proprtions.  Its weird to my American car style eyes.   But the Caddy looks a LOT better than the Genesis G90. I prefer the previous American CT6.  Our own @Robert Hall's gen CT6 is a pretty American styled sedan.  But who am I to talk.  I drive an American styled for the American market Honda Accord.   It too, has these weird Asian style stylings.
