Cadillac has confirmed that the current CT4 and CT5 model generation won’t stay in production after 2026. Motor1 adds quoting the automaker that the more affordable model will be gone for good, while the CT5 will eventually get reborn in another generation.
The Cadillac CT4 arrived in 2019 as a replacement for the ATS model. It has received multiple facelifts since then, the latest one in September this year, but never got a major powertrain update. It has also gone up in price by $2,700.
As for the CT5, it went on sale around the same year to phase out the company’s CTS saloon. It underwent a refresh a couple of years ago, receiving a particularly deluxe CT5-V Blackwing edition with hand-applied trim and other luxury features.
According to Motor1, Cadillac managed to sell three times as many CT5 units as it did the CT4. The demand for the senior model went up 10.7% in the first three quarters of this year compared to th year before, while the junior sedan plummeted 17%.
Very little is known about the upcoming CT5 generation. The only thing the company assures us in is that it is a gas-powered car and not an EV. The production is expected to take place at the same Lansing Grand River Assembly factory in Michigan, but there isn’t even a hint of when it may begin – not even the year.
With the Cadillac CT6 currently restricted to the market of China, the CT5 will be the marque’s last remaining ICE car in the United States once the CT4 retires.
