Coastal California driving comes with its own unique mix of stunning backdrops, unpredictable traffic, and driving conditions-from sun-drenched boulevards to winding Pacific Coast Highway turns. Cadillac has engineered a suite of thoughtful features to enhance every mile along the coast. Here are the top Cadillac features SoCal drivers will appreciate:
Adaptive Cruise & Super Cruise
Handling heavy Interstate 405 traffic or the free-flowing PCH cruise becomes effortless with Cadillac's advanced driver assistance systems. Adaptive Cruise Control automatically adjusts your speed in traffic, while Super Cruise enables hands-free driving on thousands of mapped highways. These technologies improve comfort and safety, helping reduce stress on long journeys or during daily commutes.
Magnetic Ride Control
California roads can be smooth as glass one minute and rough the next. Cadillac's Magnetic Ride Control uses sensors and magnetically charged fluid to make real-time suspension adjustments-providing a refined ride whether you're cruising on the 73 Toll Road or navigating potholes in an older neighborhood.
All-Wheel Drive and Traction Enhancements
Morning coastal fog, sudden rainstorms, or dewy hills-Cadillac's available all-wheel-drive systems and advanced traction technologies ensure confident handling. Features like twin-clutch AWD, torque-vectoring, and performance-biased traction systems help with grip during cornering, and braking stability in unpredictable weather.
Lane Keep Assist and Safety Enhancements
Southern California roads have their fair share of tight lanes or sudden merges. Cadillac's Lane Keep Assist works with Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking to keep you centered in your lane, alert you to hazards, and help prevent fender-benders before they happen.
Heated & Ventilated Seating with Massage
From sunny afternoons in Laguna Beach to foggy mornings in Newport, comfort matters. Cadillac offers a range of seating options, including heated, ventilated, and massaging features, so every drive-whether beach-bound or freeway-bound-is as relaxing and luxurious as possible.
Cargotech and Cargo Space
Whether you're packing surfboards, beach gear, or weekend luggage, Cadillac's thoughtfully designed storage solutions come in handy. With split-fold rear seats, deep cargo compartments, and well-placed cubbies, loading and unloading for coastal adventures is easier than ever.
Large Infotainment Displays with Google Built‑In
Stay connected and entertained on the go. Cadillac's latest infotainment systems feature expansive displays, Google Maps navigation, voice controls via Google Assistant, and seamless integration for music, podcasts, or hands-free search. That means stress-free, eyes-on-the-road navigation during rush hour or scenic drives.
Panoramic Sunroof and Quiet Cabin
California's coastal scenery begs to be seen. Cadillac's available panoramic sunroofs flood the interior with natural light and provide sweeping views. Combined with active noise cancellation and sound-insulating glass, the cabin stays serene-even at highway speeds or near beach traffic.
Wireless Charging & USB‑C Convenience
Stay powered up without a mess of cables. Cadillac includes wireless charging pads and USB-C connections (front and back), perfect for keeping phones charged as you navigate, stream music, or keep passengers entertained with tablets.
Heads-Up Display (HUD)
Avoid looking down at your instrument cluster during busy driving stretches. Cadillac's available HUD projects your speed, navigation prompts, and safety alerts directly onto your windshield-all within your line of sight.
Why These Matter for Coastal California Drivers
Comfort on Long Drives: Magnetic Ride Control and heated/ventilated or massaging seats reduce fatigue on extended trips up and down the coast.
Stay Safe in Traffic: Adaptive Cruise and Super Cruise take the stress out of bumper-to-bumper freeway driving.
Weather Ready: AWD, traction stability features, and fog-mode headlights ensure safer handling in Sudden Summer Showers or heavy marine layer.
