Cadillac to preview all-new XT4 at the 2018 Academy Awards

(March 2, 2018) For the fifth consecutive year, Cadillac will return as official automotive partner and vehicle provider of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences for the 90th Oscars. The brand will run three television spots on Oscars night that focus on performance, technology and the future of Cadillac vehicles.

The spots include the first glimpse of the all-new Cadillac XT4 SUV, which will be revealed in New York later this month.

“Cadillac is proud to be a part of the Academy Awards, one of the most iconic platforms that reaches audiences across the globe,” said Cadillac Director of Marketing Renée Rauchut.

“Having been featured in more than 10,000 films and television shows, Cadillac has always played a significant role in the arts. The Oscars is a natural fit for the brand and the perfect stage to reveal ... the first-ever Cadillac XT4 and a look at our industry-leading Super Cruise technology. We’re excited to show the world what the future holds for Cadillac.”

Cadillac will kick off the evening with a 60-second anthemic brand spot, “Future Is Here,” showing Cadillac’s endless pursuit of innovation and its ever-growing portfolio. An evolution of Cadillac’s “Dare Greatly” platform first revealed during the Oscars in 2015, the spot brings to life the brand’s bold and pioneering spirit, as evidenced in its groundbreaking offerings including Super Cruise, XT4 and the luxury subscription service BOOK by Cadillac.

In its second Academy Awards spot, “Future Cars,” Cadillac showcases Super Cruise, the first true hands-free driving technology for the freeway that debuted in the CT6 at the end of last year. Playing into the evening’s cinematic theme, the 30-second spot features iconic “futuristic” car footage from notable films and television, proving that with Super Cruise, our dreams of what cars could be are now a reality.

On a night celebrating last year’s successes, Cadillac, in its final television spot, will give viewers an exciting glimpse at the brand’s future. The 30-second upbeat ad set to Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk” gives a sneak peek at the highly anticipated Cadillac XT4, the brand’s first-ever entrant into the premium compact SUV segment, which will be revealed at Cadillac House on March 27, 2018, ahead of the New York International Auto Show in New York City.

The 90th Academy Awards will air live on Sunday, March 4 on ABC from the Dolby Theater at the Hollywood & Highland Center in Los Angeles.
