Cadillac Retiring Current CT4 and CT5 After 2026, Confirms Next-Gen Gas CT5 for North America

Cadillac signals lineup flexibility by retaining a gas sedan for North America, with unresolved questions around trims plus Lansing’s EV plans.

Overview

  • A memo from Global Cadillac vice president John Roth states the CT4 runs through June 2026 and the CT5 through the end of 2026 before the current generation is retired.
  • Cadillac confirms a next-generation internal-combustion CT5 to be built at GM’s Lansing Grand River Assembly and sold in the United States and Canada.
  • The company has not announced whether Blackwing performance variants, manual transmissions, or any CT4 successor will return, and it declined to share trim or powertrain specifics.
  • Coverage notes divergent demand as context, with the CT5 selling relatively well and the CT4 contributing about 4,066 units, roughly 3% of Cadillac’s 2025 sales.
  • Reports highlight that Lansing’s previously discussed EV conversion and federal funding plans are under review, providing key context for the plant’s future role.
