Cadillac made multiple important announcements yesterday, among them that the brand is set to introduce four new models in 2015, including the highly anticipated Omega-based CT6 sedan.
General Motors didn’t provide details on the four new models, but we can do some educated guessing to figure out what they are. The 2016 ATS-V Sedan and 2016 ATS-V Coupe will make their debut this year at the Los Angeles Auto Show, so they don’t count towards the “four in 2015” tally.
We know that the 2016 Cadillac CT6 will be one of the models to be unveiled in 2015, so that leaves only three new models. The second model will be the 2016 CTS-V sedan, which has been spied testing alongside the ATS-V at the Nurburgring. The high-performance BMW M5-fighter will be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this January. That leaves two more models. The third is likely the replacement for the SRX — the 2016 XT5, leaving only one introduction.
What the fourth and last Cadillac scheduled for introduction is anybody’s guess at this point. Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen has voiced interest in the brand entering multiple new segments, such as the compact and full-size crossover segments, as well as the subcompact sedan space. And then there are the rumors of an ATS convertible. The question now is whether these vehicles will be revealed in 2015.
Stay tuned to GM Authority for more information on the matter as it becomes available.

My guess is the fourth model will be the new SRX. Its due for a new generation.
My guess would be a ats convertible, they have said before the architecture is drawn out already, the srx/XT4 or 5 will be unveiled in 2015 being released in 16 along with the XT6?
It is the SRX, there are reports everywhere stating its coming next year?
Personally, I need an SUV here in Canada… Winters are nasty. So if they can deliver on something smaller then the escalade that is just as sexy and beastly I’m all in.
PS: the current SRX looks too soft currently.
I edited the story to mention the new SRX, thanks for the reminder. We’ve also heard it’s coming next year.
Midsize luxury SUV. Exactly what is needed. Make it on the Colorado frame. But make it super luxurious. There are people who want a luxury SUV who don’t have big families and don’t want seating for 8 or 9 but rather 5 max. AND they want the back seat to completely become the cargo area floor when needed. This could be a huge winner.
I agree with all the posts so far . The CT6 will have a familair face like thhe CTS and ATS . And maybe eve the new SRX . Which I also think is the other new model . Which is going to put the XTS out to pasture . I know here in Lansing the Grand River plant has recieved alot of money from GM to increase the body shop and do some work in the paint dept . And a couple of parts makers are expanding here . We know the Traverse , Acadia and Enclave are switching to a new platform and increasing the size of the body shop will give GM room for a cross over that they are talking about .
