The 2021 Cadillac XT5 adds three new exterior colors to its palette: Wilder Metallic, Dark Moon Blue Metallic, and Infrared Tintcoat. Here’s our first look at the new red hue.
Availability
Assigned color code GSK and touch-up paint code WA-252F, Infrared Tintcoat is the only tintcoat color option available for the luxury crossover. Infrared is one of two reddish hues available for the XT5. The other red is Garnet Metallic, which is much darker than the Infrared color. In fact, Infrared Tintcoat is the only bright hue available for the 2021 model year, as Red Horizon Tintcoat was deleted after the 2020 model year. To that end, Infrared is very similar to the Red Horizon Tintcoat option, and appears to be a direct replacement for it.
In total, there are eight available colors for the 2021 Cadillac XT5, including:
- Dark Moon Blue Metallic
- Crystal White Tricoat
- Satin Steel Metallic
- Stellar Black Metallic
- Shadow Metallic
- Garnet Metallic
- Wilder Metallic
- Infrared Tintcoat
Notably, Satin Steel Metallic is the only exterior color option included in the base price of the luxury crossover, with all other colors carrying an additional cost.
The new Infrared Tintcoat color carries an additional cost of $1,225. It is also available in conjunction with all trim levels and interior color combinations except for one – Sedona Sauvage with Jet Black Accents.

Launch Timeframe
As of this writing, dealer inventory of 2021 Cadillac XT5 models is sparse due to the ongoing microchip shortage, which appears to be impacting the GM Spring Hill factory in Tennessee that assembles the XT5. We recommend checking with your dealer about models coated in the new Infrared Tintcoat paint.
