Cadillac will bring Super Cruise to 16 European countries from mid-December
Cadillac said on 4 November that its hands-free, eyes-on driver assistance will cover more than 180,000 kilometres of compatible roads, with maps and software updated over the air and three years of use included.
Cadillac said on 4 November, ahead of the system’s European debut at Auto Zurich from 5 to 8 November, that Super Cruise will be available on eligible electric vehicles in Europe from mid-December 2026. According to Cadillac Europe’s release, the initial launch covers 16 countries, including Germany, France and Switzerland, and more than 180,000 kilometres of compatible roads, including motorways and dual carriageways, at speeds from 0 to 130 km/h. The compatible vehicles are the OPTIQ from model year 2025 and the LYRIQ and VISTIQ from model year 2026.
Super Cruise is a Level 2 system: drivers may take their hands off the wheel but must keep their eyes on the road, and a driver monitoring system checks that they stay attentive. Cadillac said it combines lidar-generated map data, cameras, radar, GPS and adaptive cruise control, that Google Maps shows the roads where it can be used, and that both maps and software functions can be updated over the air, subject to system, vehicle and service requirements. GM carried out in-region route testing and Europe-specific software work, the release said.
The feature is included for three years from first registration. For eligible vehicles already delivered, the three years begin with installation of the required update. After that, owners need an active Super Cruise plan and a Connected Services plan; the release gives no prices. Cadillac said Super Cruise has logged more than 1.5 billion kilometres in North America and is available in the US, Canada, China and South Korea.
