Cadillac XT5 sales were yet again in the red to start out the year as the nameplate continues to move substantially fewer units than most of its competitors.
It doesn’t help that the first-generation XT5 has become dated, having not seen many updates since its launch for the 2017 model year. GM did announce that it will offer a 2025 Cadillac XT5, XT6, and CT4 in North America. However, while the current XT5 will be replaced by an all-new second-generation model in the Chinese market, it looks as though the domestic-variety XT5 will march on in its current form here in the States.
Nevertheless, check out our first-gen versus second-gen Cadillac XT5 design comparison.
The 2024 Cadillac XT5 represents the eighth model year of the first-generation model, arriving with minimal changes and updates compared to the preceding 2023 model year, including a trio of accent packages – the new Red Accent Package, Blue Accent Package, and Bronze Accent Package. Here is everything that’s new and different for the 2024 XT5.
Notably, a recent study finds that the Cadillac XT5 doesn’t hold its value very well.
Production of the 2025 XT5 will begin at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee on July 8th.
On the all-electric front, the Cadillac Lyriq is the luxury marque’s first-ever EV and its all-electric replacement for the aging XT5. Furthermore, the first-ever all-electric Cadillac Optiq hails as Cadillac’s entry-level EV offering to eventually replace the XT4, which itself received a refresh for the 2024 model year. These models precede the recently announced first-ever 2026 Cadillac Vistiq, an all-electric three-row crossover set to round out the EV portfolio, slotting in the same space occupied by the Cadillac XT6. The Cadillac Escalade IQ full-sizer will slot above the Vistiq.
Additionally, a Cadillac V-Series EV is set to debut this year, likely as the Cadillac Lyriq-V.
At a time of year when luxury car ATP usually rises.
Sales decreased 5.6 percent to 16,670 units during the first ten months of 2024.
Specifically critical minerals supply chain development.
Scheduled for a Spring 2025 launch.

Offer the revised 2025 model in this country and the sales will go thru the roof.
Waiting to order a 2025 XT5
Not me ,unless it's revised.
Redo the 25 xt5 for America or my 23 will be the last. Kia and Hyundai have nicer cars for half the price
I hope you are referring to the Sorento and Santa Fe. Because the Genesis GV80 is quite a bit more expensive than the XT5. I know because I cross-shopped it with my 22 XT5.
Just imagine what the sales would have been with a simple tech refresh... or a simple skin refresh... or any effort at all.
The XT5 could be so much more if they tried.
Put the blame squarely on GM Management.
Now if that was a sedan and had those same sales numbers, GM would have killed it off a long time ago saying it just doesn't sell.
Funny thing. GM has so many suv/cuv's and many of them are brand new or very fresh. And yet, their sales numbers lag behind the Malibu which has zero promotion and they could care less about it. So help me understand why GM keeps so many different SUV's around that don't sell that well and refuse to give us even just one Buick sedan or give some love to the current tiny line of cars.
That logic worked for Ford and what was known as Lincoln to get rid of sedans. Watch China get a new Continental that lives up to the name.
FRankG: Ford can go (you know what) themselves. They don't offer one single sedan in Ford or Lincoln. So they are dead to me.
But you are correct in what they did.
