About Cadillac CT6
The Cadillac CT6 is a full-size prestige luxury sedan. It slots above the mid-size Cadillac CTS and compact Cadillac ATS as the largest Cadillac sedan. The vehicle rides on the high-tech and lightweight GM Omega platform that is currently not shared with any other vehicles, though a full-size Cadillac crossover on the architecture has been rumored.
The current model was introduced for the 2016 model year and represents the first model year of the first-generation CT6. The 2017 model year saw a few minor changes, including the addition of two new exterior colors and darker finish taillamps. The 2018 CT6 introduced such features as Super Cruise, Rear Camera Mirror Washer for the Rear Camera Mirror, as well as an updated CUE infotainment system (to version 2.6).
For the 2019 model year, the CT6 receives a refresh, otherwise known as a facelift or mid-cycle enhancement (MCE, that includes revised exterior styling similar to that of the Escala concept, a new high-performance CT6 V-Sport model that was renamed to CT6-V, the new Cadillac 4.2L Twin-Turbo V-8 engine, a new trim level structure, and improvements to in-vehicle technology. In addition, the 2019 Cadillac CT6 gets the new GM 10-speed automatic transmission on all models, while the base model gets a new base engine in the form of the all-new 2.0L Turbo LSY engine, which replaces the last-generation 2.0L Turbo LTG.
The Cadillac CT6 is build at the following plants:
- GM Detroit-Hamtramck plant supplying North America and Middle East, and
- Cadillac China factory called SGM Jinqiao supplying China and Russia
In addition, the CT6 Plug-In model was built at the SGM Jinqiao plant for all markets, including the United States. The CT6 Plug-In was discontinued in the U.S. after the 2018 model year.
In November 2018, GM announced plans to discontinue the CT6 in North America as part of a restructuring plan that will look to shutter various plants, including the Detroit-Hamtramck location. But in January 2019, Cadillac president, Steve Carlisle, and GM president, Mark Reuss, announced that the CT6 will not be discontinued. However, production will be moved from the Detroit-Hamtramck facility to another plant. Another possibility is that the CT6 will be imported from China, where it will continue being offered. However, Carlisle stated that this is the least desirable option.

It looks like they put the clear coat directly onto the primer.
And maybe they did, it’s GM afterall, everything to save a dime.
Is one new color part of the product “onslaught” at Cadillac?
LOL
Maybe this is the color for the ‘Commemorative Edition CT6’ to herald the end of production and these models will also have what will become the super rare hand-built Blackwing V8 which essentially will now become a stillborn engine.
This does not have to be the end of the CT6 here in America. They can easily be imported from China. GM will make more money charging BMW prices for Chinese cars. No need for a V8 while GM China has a strong turbo 4 that is adequate. It’s part of the new 5 year plan for Cadillac. Virtually all Cadillacs can be imported from China. Think of the Profits and Bonuses for top management.
It’s been confirmed: CT6 is dead. Blackwing is likely still born which explains why GM didn’t come up with a real production site for the engine instead opting to hand-build the 4.2 L TT V-8 at the Corvette plant.
Raven black being renamed Draped-In Black and marketed as a new color with the premium color up charge!
It’s time for GM Authority to get in line with General Motors which means to stop doing stories on cars scheduled to be canceled in the next 12-18 months; meaning the GM Authority staff should stop doing stories on the Chevy Volt, Cruze & Impala, Plus Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6 and XTS.
GM authority is not owned or run by General motors
Its only for GM enthusiates
Has anyone besides myself noticed that over the years we are losing colors bigtime?
We have the traditional black and now Matte black
We have the traditional silver and gray and now other shades of gray
White is a standard
Reds there’s usually 2 of them a bright red and a metallic tint coat
We are losing vibrant colors in vehicles
