GM has recently announced the coverage expansion of its Super Cruise hands-free driving system, and the automakers’ full-size SUVs are now being built with the updated software allowing owners to use Super Cruise on more than 400,000 miles of roads in the United States and Canada. However, the Cadillac CT6 will receive a much smaller coverage expansion.
As part of GM’s commitment to improve its advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), Super Cruise (RPO code UKL) accessibility for the Cadillac CT6 has been increased to include an extra 20,000 miles of compatible roads.
For those wondering why the Cadillac CT6 won’t be getting the full expansion, the explanation is simple. The CT6 wasn’t designed using GM’s Global B software architecture – aka Vehicle Intelligence Platform. This means that the Caddy is unable to exploit the full capabilities of Super Cruise.
There are three vehicles that will be getting the 20,000-mile update, including:
- Cadillac CT6
- Cadillac XT6
- Chevy Bolt EUV
These vehicles are now being built with the full 400,000-mile expansion:
- 2023 Chevy Tahoe
- 2023 Chevy Suburban
- 2023 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade-V
- 2023 Cadillac Escalade ESV and Escalade-V ESV
- 2023 GMC Yukon
All other GM vehicles equipped with Super Cruise from prior model years will receive the Super Cruise update via an over-the-air update.
The road coverage expansion follows GM’s plan to offer Super Cruise in 22 models by the end of the 2023 calendar year. On top of that, Ultra Cruise will also be introduced in the near future, and one of the first models to receive it will be the Cadillac Celestiq.
As a reminder, the 2020 model-year Cadillac CT6 was the last for the full-size sedan in North America, and was available with one of two powerplants. These include the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX gasoline engine, rated at 335 horsepower and 284 pound-feet of torque, and, for the performance-oriented Cadillac CT6-V, the twin-turbocharged 4.2L V8 LTA gasoline engine. Also known as the Blackwing engine, the LTA produced 550 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque, while a detuned version of the LTA offered in the CT6 Platinum developed 500 horsepower and 574 pound-feet of torque.
Under the skin, the Cadillac CT6 rides on the GM Omega platform. Production for the North American markets took place at the GM Detroit-Hamtramck plant, now known as GM Factory Zero.

Well…this sucks since I just PAID to keep SuperCruise active on my 2-CT6’s that are equipped with it. Way to screw your customers again, GM/Cadillac! Being a programmer for 50+ years there is a way, I am certain, that this could be handled.
I agree with Odis whole heartedly wanting the CT6 to come back to the US where Cadillac was born and raised. Many of us don’t want a CUV/SUV or a mall-crawling pickup. I am sick of the boring design and anemic performance coming out of GM for the US market, but China is getting everything including a second generation CT6. Might as well shut down Cadillac and move it to China and take Mary with it.
When I am ready, I guess I’ll have to find a real full-sized luxury sedan from a German maker that realizes not everybody is going to be forced into a one-size box.
Quick Silver:
If you wanna see boring design and anemic performance, check the 2nd Gen CT6 with its 4 cylinder.
Yeah…no 4-cylinder anemia for me. I have unfortunately driven a 4-cylinder turbo CT4 Premium Luxury and it was a POS that couldn’t get out of its own way on the interstate and got deplorable gas mileage too boot.
If they bring it back to the US, which is VERY doubtful, it will have to be at least the 6-cylinder and the Blackwing.
How about a two door coupe with RWD ! ! ! ? ? ?
I’m still waiting for theC8 full size sedan.
I’m with the guy who is looking for the CT8. What’s the problem? Huh
It’s sad that GM keeps trying to pawn off mid sized cars as full size. If they are so worried about the environment give us some options to get out of full sized pickups and give us a full size car.
The CT6 with SuperCruise, all wheel drive and STEERING, all seats heated and cooled with 12 way massage, infrared night, vision, 360° camera recording, 32 surroundsound speakers, 335 hp regular gasoline engine, 4 spoke steering wheel with 30+ functions on it … and of course they quit making it. Dammit dammit dammit.
Cadillac no longer makes a luxury vehicle. The CT5 might as well have a Chevrolet badge on it.
GM continues to insult its customers with arrogance.
Cadillac had a loyal customer base and was the brand for comfort, spaciousness, soft, smooth ride and power. No longer
GM drives its customers away by discontinuing great cars like the CT6 and Volt
I get the impression GM really don’t care about the customer anymore, no more full size cars with rear wheel drive, we used to have our choice between coupes and sedans. No more regular cab standard bed base model pickups ! We used to be able to select them in any color we wanted. Every Silverado they make is four door, four wheel drive ! ! ! I’m done . . . and don’t get me started on power sources , , , most of these “victims” buying these four door four wheel drive trucks don’t even know up front there’s only half a motor under the hood ! ! ! Can you imagine ! ! ! Paying fifty thousand dollars for a truck with a four cylinder ! ! ! You have to take a mortgage to by a truck today ! ! ! God help our country . . .
