GM Plans Next-Gen Gas-Powered Cadillac CT5 Sedan Production in Michigan

Cadillac is continuing to invest in its sedan lineup despite the broader market shift towards SUVs and electric vehicles. The CT5 will enter a new generation built at General Motors' Grand River Assembly Plant in Lansing, Michigan, remaining powered by an internal combustion engine, signaling Cadillac's confidence in performance sedans amid slower EV adoption. This decision comes as the CT5 remains one of Cadillac's most consistent sellers, outperforming some SUVs, while the smaller CT4 struggles with lower sales. The 2026 CT4 continues with mechanical carryovers but introduces new paint options like Cyber Yellow Metallic, maintaining interest in the compact luxury sedan segment. Meanwhile, Cadillac does not plan to revive the CT6 for the North American market, focusing instead on sedans like the CT4 and CT5 along with high-end electric models such as the Celestiq. Cadillac's strategy represents a balance between sustaining traditional performance sedans and expanding its electric vehicle offerings, with the CT5 standing out as a rare luxury sedan holding its ground.
