Now, every new Cadillac will be electric

Every new or redesigned Cadillac introduced in North America from now on will be an electric vehicle, fulfilling the luxury brand's role as General Motors' lead EV brand as the automaker speeds toward its goal of a zero-emission portfolio in the market by the end of the decade.

"We will be leaving this decade as an EV brand, as things stand today, which means that we will not be selling [internal combustion engine] vehicles by 2030," Rory Harvey, vice president of global Cadillac, said in April.

Cadillac will continue to freshen its gasoline-powered vehicle roster, with face-lifts for the CT4 and CT5 sedans and XT4, XT5 and XT6 crossovers slated for 2023.

CT4/CT5: The compact and midsize sedans will be freshened in 2023. They will be discontinued toward the end of the decade as Cadillac replaces them with EVs. The electric versions of the sedans likely will be built at the Lansing Grand River Assembly plant in Michigan, home of the CT4 and CT5 today. The plant is expected to be retooled for EVs around 2026.

Celestiq: The high-performance, ultraluxury sedan will go on sale in 2023. Cadillac is declaring the Celestiq its new flagship EV. It will be hand-built at the GM Tech Center in Warren, Mich., at a rate of just 1.2 vehicles per day. In January, Cadillac said the bespoke EV will have a glass roof that can be illuminated to match the mood of the cabin and adjusted to different levels of transparency in each of its four quadrants. The Celestiq will also feature a free-form display spanning the width of the vehicle for the driver and front passenger.

XT4/XT5/XT6: Expect freshenings of the brand's crossovers in 2023, before production ends in 2025 to make way for EVs. The face-lifts likely will include new styling, technology enhancements and Super Cruise driver-assist capability.

Electric crossover: An XT4-sized electric crossover, named the Optiq or Symboliq, is expected to launch in 2024, built at Ramos Arizpe Assembly in Mexico.

Lyriq: The midsize crossover, planned to reach dealerships in the first half of 2022, will have a base price of $59,990, including shipping, and a Cadillac-estimated 300 miles of range on a full charge. It will feature one-pedal driving and regenerative braking on demand, which allows drivers to control how quickly they slow down or come to a stop using a paddle on the steering wheel. Super Cruise also will be available. The Lyriq will be built in Spring Hill, Tenn.

Electric large crossover: An XT6-sized crossover, using whichever "-iq" name doesn't go on the electric XT4-sized crossover, is slated to launch in 2024, likely built in Spring Hill, Tenn.

Escalade/Escalade ESV: After the 2020 redesign, the Escalade and Escalade ESV will be freshened in 2024. U.S. volume for Cadillac's top seller nearly doubled to 20,716 vehicles in the first half of 2021.

Electric full-size SUVs: Cadillac plans to launch an electric SUV similar in size to the Escalade in 2024, followed by a larger one the size of the Escalade ESV in 2025. The SUVs will be built at Factory Zero in Detroit and are expected to exist alongside the gasoline-powered Escalade and ESV until at least 2029.
