New Cadillac EV sedan.

While we already know GM is working on 2 new Cadillac EV sedans, we haven’t seen anything yet. The illustration above shows what the smaller of these 2 new models could look like.

These have already been described as a “new generation’ of Cadillac sedans. They would, of course, replace the current CT4 and CT5. All we know about the new models is that they will both feature a “Sportback profile”. Which sounds much more modern than the current CT4 and CT5. And maybe something close to the Cadillac Escala concept. Finally.

The limited production of $340,000 Celestiq is, of course, not part of that plan. As these would be real cars, people can actually purchase them in realistic numbers.

The 2 sedans Cadillac is reportedly working on would be the size of the CT5 and CT6. The current CT4 is pretty much at the end of its cycle and isn’t selling well at all, with fewer than 7300 sold last year. While the CT5 is more popular, with over twice as many sold the same year. That explains the 2025 “facelift” and the new curved screen investment in the CT5, and nothing for the CT4.

Replacing the CT5 with a new, roomier EV would help Cadillac compete against Mercedes, BMW, and Audi. While the larger EV sedan could go against the Lucid Air and Tesla Model S.

A new large Cadillac sedan would have to impress without being a weirdo like the Celestiq. And it would have to look expensive, unlike the EQS. A very modern interior could still include retro touches and wood. (Maybe a bit too much on the illustration above)

Both would be based on the revised version of the current Ultium platform called BEV3.

New Cadillac sedans are always good news in my book. However, I am sure I’m not the only one who is waiting for a truly modern interpretation of the American Luxury car as an EV. This time, a sedan. Or two…

  1. Give us one more generation of the ICE powered CT4 and CT5. Update the current platform to save money – even today that Alpha 2 platform is still phenomenal. It will be a mistake if they simply go pure EV. Another 5 years or so with a hybrid powerplant would fit more people’s needs than a pure EV lineup.
