GM is developing a second generation for the Cadillac CT6 luxury sedan, with plans to release the new full-size four-door for the 2024 model year. Now, GM Authority spy photographers have caught the upcoming 2024 Cadillac CT6 testing in prototype form with production lighting elements.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the upcoming 2024 Cadillac CT6 testing in prototype form – in fact, earlier this month, the sedan was spotted on public roads without the usual heavy black cladding.
The prototype featured here also drops the heavy black cladding, revealing some of the styling underneath, as well as production lighting elements, giving us an even better idea what the sedan will look like when it starts rolling off the line.
Up front, we see more of the fascia, including the new grille, lighting housings in the corners of the bumper, and the production lights themselves, the latter of which incorporate horizontal and vertical elements. Notably, the new fascia includes details that differentiate it from the current Cadillac CT4 and Cadillac CT5 sedans, while also giving a nod to Cadillac’s EV models, including the new Cadillac Lyriq, such as with the notched grille bar along the upper edge of the fascia.
Also of note is the extremely wide Center High Mount Stop Light (CHMSL), which looks to stretch nearly straight across the upper edge of the rear glass. This 2024 Cadillac CT6 prototype also shows off production taillights that incorporate both vertical and horizontal elements.
As GM Authority reported previously, motivation will be sourced from the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine, possibly with hybridization to make it even more fuel-efficient. That said, this prototype looks as though it incorporates a quad exhaust treatment that’s obscured by silver exhaust finishers, which may indicate the development of a more performance-oriented model as well.
Under the skin, the 2024 Cadillac CT6 rides on the GM VSS-R platform, with a launch planned for the Chinese market. Presently, there are no known plans to bring the 2024 Cadillac CT6 to the U.S., but the platform at least leaves the option open to adapt the sedan for markets beyond China.
Finally, the 2024 Cadillac CT6 incorporates the GM Global B electrical architecture and will offer a wealth of modern tech features, including GM Super Cruise and possibly GM Ultra Cruise.

Where’s all the usual complainers that say “what do we care about a Chinese car?”
We’re all just laughing since since it’s obviously bothers you so much you felt the need to make a statement about it.
Recently, the Chinese cars being announced on this site have been more interesting than hearing about which cars front end is clunking, or the latest colors that are canceled.
So Is Cadillac going with the Hyundai headlights in the bumper theme on everything now?
I can’t help but think this may be released in the US as well. Production to occur alongside the CT4, CT5 and Camaro. Maybe the platform is similar enough to those models and it can be easily added to the same production facility.
Maybe only available with a couple different tunes of the 3.0 turbo.
One can hope!
I don’t think Cadillac is introducing or reintroducing any ICE models for North America moving forward. Just refreshes of existing models before phasing them out in favor of EVs.
GMC Fan:
Not gonna happen. There is virually nothing about the Omega Platform that is common with Alpha.
This not not being built on the Omega platform, it is being built on the VSS-R platform, the CT6 was only discontinued at Hamtramck plant because it was currently the only car being produced and GM repurposed the plant for electric car production, thats why the CT6 was discontinued. This new architecture will be shared across the board with all GM brands for cheaper production with product of scale. So this leaves me conclude that CT6 will get a surprise re launch as a 5 – Series and E-class competitor before the launch of the halo full size Electric sedan comes out…
As much as I’d love for that to happen Bobby, unfortunately, it isn’t going to happen. Cadillac has already confirmed several times that they are not introducing any new ICE models here in the United States…they will refresh their current models, but no new models are coming. From here on out, all brand-new Cadillac models will be EV.
But damn…that just makes me miss the CT6 more.
The CT5 is in the same class as the A6/A7/5-series/ES/GS/E-class in size and drivetrain. If the next CT6 is anything like the old one, it will be a solid A8/7-series/LS/S-class in all but price.
GM has showed us we are a 3rd world country and know longer available to us. Other companies can build several different models on the same assembly line (due to demand). GM no longer wants to bother with us, buy a gas sucking crossover or Station wagon Utility Vehicle or pickups, lol!
absolutely a high standard for the Cadillac design team, such a gorgeous looking sedan. All i have to do now is get a Chinese citizenship to enjoy this mark of excellence to drive, and show off having it in my driveway.
I just hope it has a rear end that is much better than the CT5, which I call a circa 1993 Altima.
I would like to know when Cadillac will build a new luxury model 2 door (2×2) ? They have enough crossovers and trucks. I’ve owned 20 Cadillac autos and would like to see a luxury coupe (Lexus LS-500) or a EV coupe.
The current LS500 is a sedan…
This is for the guy who wants to hear from people who are tired of GM AUTHORITY showing off model for China only… American auto makers took the bail out money and spent it building factories outside this country.
P.S. I live in a city where GM closed a plant, but took the same type of plant in Mexico to build the Blazer.
Thatś because they can pay workers sh!t wages in Mexico, and the CT6 was a sales disaster in North America.
Build a full sized CT8 for the NA market. You guys have been stuffing people in Full size trucks and SUV’s and all we want is a Full sized Car!! Get on with it.
I paid for a CT5 it’s smaller then the CT6 wish I had bought a CT6 it’s bigger and more leg room for my family
