Cadillac XT5 And XT6 Dropped After 2025 Model Year: Exclusive

Back in May of 2024, Cadillac reversed course on plans to go all-electric by 2030, with Global Vice President John Roth outlining a strategy that includes an expansion for the luxury marque’s EV catalogue alongside select models powered by internal combustion engines. Nevertheless, Cadillac’s latest string of debuts have all been EVs. As such, it should come as no surprise that GM Authority has learned that the Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6 – in their current forms – are about to shuffle off into the sunset, at least when it comes to the U.S. market.

Front three-quarter view of the Cadillac XT6. The Cadillac XT5 and XT6 crossovers will be discontinued in North America after the 2025 model year.

According to sources familiar with the matter, the existing, first-generation Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6 crossovers will be dropped from Caddy’s North American lineup with the conclusion of the 2025 model year. This will only affect units of the Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6 produced and sold in North America, while units of the XT5 and XT6 produced and sold in China will soldier on past the 2025 model year. To note, GM recently launched the second-generation Cadillac XT5 and a mildly refreshed XT6 in China in 2024.

When reaching out to GM, a Cadillac spokesperson provided the following statement: “This year, two additional crossovers, Optiq and Vistiq, will join the Cadillac portfolio. Beyond that we have no portfolio adjustments to announce and can’t comment on the speculation. Cadillac’s crossovers remain very popular among luxury customers as evident by the recent sales success of XTs and Lyriq, which became the best-selling luxury EV in 2024.”

At present, North American units of the XT5 and XT6 are produced at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee, with the two gasoline-powered crossovers rolling off the line alongside the all-electric Cadillac Lyriq and Ultium-based Acura ZDX. Looking ahead, the Spring Hill plant will shift its focus to manufacture the all-electric Cadillac Vistiq for the 2026 model year. This move, alongside the discontinuation of the North American XT5 and XT6, will see the Spring Hill plant transition to producing exclusively battery electric vehicles.

For those who may have missed it, production of the Cadillac XT4 ends this month. With the XT4, XT5, and XT6 all exiting the U.S. lineup by the end of 2025, Cadillac’s ICE offerings will narrow to just three models: Escalade, CT4, and CT5. Cadillac will offer the all-electric Optiq, Lyriq, and Vistiq as indirect replacements for the XT4, XT5, and XT6, respectively.

With all that in mind, Cadillac customers looking to secure one of the last ICE-based Caddy crossovers in the U.S. should probably act sooner rather than later.

  1. Great idea GM! You’re losing me as a customer as I simply DO NOT want a EV! I’m 43 and on my third new Cadillac since 2012. Would’ve been a customer for life as I really liked all my Caddy’s. Guess my XT6 will be my last. On to another company that’ll sell me a new luxury SUV. There’s plenty out there selling nice hybrid and gas models…..

    1. Notice how the report says the XT5 and XT6 in their CURRENT FORMS…

      “As such, it should come as no surprise that GM Authority has learned that the Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6 – in their current forms – are about to shuffle off into the sunset, at least when it comes to the U.S. market.”

      This is an interesting thing to say… almost as if GMA knows something else is coming but maybe can’t say it just yet. The changes being enacted by Trump will likely see the next-gen XT5 and updated XT6 come to Spring Hill yet.

      1. Good callout. Could mean they are at least considering a hybrid next? But that would assume Mary is okay to go back on her desire to have Cadillac as an all EV brand in the future.

      2. I don’t want to criticize what I don’t know yet…..but the next XT5 and XT6 need to be MUCH better than just warmed over front drive crossovers.

        Dealers need ICE crossovers, and they have to be at least as good as Genesis and BMW. That’s going to pay the bills the next decade.

    2. No worries, I’m 43 and just bought my first Cadillac, a Lyriq, so I’ll make up for your lost sale. I did have to have it in service for a week for a bad control arm and they had me in a ’24 XT5 for the week. I found it to be really slow, with laggy throttle response, bad fuel economy, really cheap interior(plastic wood), and less interior space than my Lyriq.

      The worst part was refuelling to take it back. It cost me as much to drive that for a week as it costs me to drive the Lyriq for about *3* weeks.

      I really don’t understand why anyone would not want an ev for daily driving regardless of how you feel about the environment. As long as you have a place to charge at home or work, it’s braindead simple, cheap, and convenient.

      1. We have a 2020 and a 2014 XT5 premium our 3rd and 4th ones we are enjoying both of them without any issues out all . Structurally ,quiet and responsive ,its not a 455ci, but adequate, highway 35mpg with about 5 minutes to fuel up I’ll stay with it When the infrastructure is ready for everybody but now. We are completely satisfied with our XT5’s with the ICE . If GM Cadillac is telling us we must buy an EV We will say good buy GM Cadillac .

        Reply
        1. I’m truly glad you enjoy them and I’m sorry that they won’t be an option for you going forward. I do have to say that for an ICE vehicle, the XT5 was one of the quietest I’ve personally experienced, so that was nice. In my week with it, I got 14mpg, truly horrible.. but my typical commute doesn’t take me onto the highway so it’s all local driving.

          5 minutes to fuel up is great but I typically have to use the bathroom after I drive 200+ miles anyway, so there’s not a ton of advantage there for me compared to 20-25 minutes. Anytime I’m not on a several hundred mile long trip, the car charges in my driveway while I’m asleep. Truly spectacular. 15 seconds to walk over, grab the charge cable from the side of my garage, and plug it in. No more remembering that I have to stop for gas at 7am while I’m rushing out the door to get to work.

        1. when discussing a Lyriq vs an XT5, you think the *Lyriq* is mediocrity? LOL

          Look I’m not saying it’s a perfect car-no car is (except maybe my Miata) …But it’s so much better than the XT5 that it’s embarrassing for Cadillac that they’re even from the same brand. I fully understand their decision because as more people get over the fox news fud and get exposed to EVs firsthand, they’re going to have fewer and fewer buyers clinging to ICE vehicles and otherwise outdated technology.

          That said, everyone should drive what they what to drive, and if you’re really this enthusiastic about the XT5/6, then I’m sorry you’re going through this ordeal.

          1. The Lyriq might have better build quality and driveability than the XT4 and XT5, but it isn’t very handsome and it is still and EV, and all the negatives that go along with them. I could have one car that was just for commuting, I would buy an EV. I had a company car that was an EV, didn’t like the charging times or range anxiety.

        2. Its ok to like ice and ok to like ev. But just because you arent willing to do any research on the platform past “reading 15 years ago battery powered car dumb” doesn’t make them mediocre. Its obvious you’ve never driven one and make sure every ev driver you meet knows it but I promise. No one cares buddy.

          Reply
      3. I’m coming from the opposite side. My wife’s XT5 had currently been in the shop for over a week, and we got a Lyriq as a loaner. It’s a very good car, but it is a LOT bigger and feels heavier than our XT5 Sport. Due to the interior styling, we also feel like it’s an “old person’s car.” The charging aspect is definitely something I think we can learn to live with, but driving it for a week hasn’t convinced us that a Lyriq is in our future. Maybe an Optiq, but we’ll see…

        Reply
      4. For those of us dedicated to remaining buyers of ICE vehicles, the reason is simple … We can buy a lot of fuel for at least $ 14,000, the difference in base price of the two vehicles in your comment. Further, the Lyriq is anything but simple, cheap, OR convenient. I don’t want to make searching for a recharging location part of my daily routine.
        EV’s are clearly not selling like the government or the manufacturers anticipated. I’ll wait for a hydrogen powered vehicle before I give up my gas powered daily driver.

The last twenty years GM has had electrical issues with the entire electrical system not being powerful enough to handle all of the onboard electronics. You really feel like a penny pinching company like GM is going to actually fix their electronics or just hide behind a press release promise?

    8. I agree with you. I have been a Cadillac buyer since 1990. All new cars. I will probably be leaving Cadillac for my next car because they have nothing to offer for me. I want a large car which I have the ct6because I can’t get in the SUVs because of my health. I’m disappointed because Cadillacsl offers the CT6 in China. I’m tired of gm catering to China and not us loyal cady buyers. Cadillac is loosing 2 loyal buyers you and I. Good luck in finding what you want with a different manufacturer. I have always bought only American cars.

      1. Spoke to Brandon Vivian (Cadillac Chief executive engineer) regarding this. The Ct6 was the worst-selling and least profitable car in the lineup. Execs and Engineers fought for them for years but the dealers pushed back due to low sales volume. China LOVES them. Didnt make sense for gm to keep force-feeding a car that the people didn’t want.
        Many of us forget that for cars to stick around, they have to be profitable.

  19. Just my opinion but Cadillac/GM are making a BIG mistake with plans to go all electric. We were holding out hope that the Chinese-market only XT5 would end up coming to the U.S. but now, possibly, won’t even EXIST. VERY disappointed that my favorite ICE choices are becoming so limited. New car availability is dwindling to EV’s and anemic 3 and 4 cylinder-powered vehicles. ICE emissions have dropped drastically. Lack of sufficient EV charging infrastructure will become a MAJOR issue in the near future. Maintenance, resale value, battery replacement and special tire requirements should be considered. EV’s have their place – but, as total ICE replacements, they’re just the current fad – nothing more.

  20. I love my Lyriq, it is a great looking vehicle and in my opinion much better looking than the XT vehicles that never looked like luxury vehicles to me inside or out. I understand that EVs are not for everyone, although I love mine. (we have gas powered vehicles as well) I see a TON of my Lyriq’s in my area. It is perfect for my daily commute.

    1. This comment is simply not true. Compare extraction for oil and gas vs. minerals for EVs and the EV is the far and away winner.
      The cold weather issue is true, though heat pumps are resolving it to a degree. But if it’s not for you fine. You can pay more for maintenance, repairs and gasoline. It should be your choice.

      3. EVs don’t reduce pollution, they move pollution from where you live to people who live next to the fossil fuel power plants. As you know, homes and apartments are less desirable and often the poorer among us live near them. To virtue signal about driving an EV while you send your pollution to poor people and likely POC is an atrocious wrong, typical of how woke people screw somebody when they follow their woke leaders.

        Reply
        1. Absolutely untrue. Even when fueled on coal, EVs produce less emissions than do their ICE counterparts do on gasoline, because the path from energy to wheels is so much more efficient.

          Reply
          1. No, I am absolutely right, unless the laws of physic have changed. EVs are emissions free, but they create more demand for power, and most power still comes from fossil fuels. If you drive an EV, it is likely that you are creating more pollution at the power plant location from where you electricity is generated. That is indisputable. Please don’t respond with another rude straw man argument.

  30. This is a big mistake. The Cadillac sedans, while awesome, just aren’t selling that well. The XT5 and XT6 are keeping those dealers busy – and both of them were stop-gap products that should have been much better. But that’s all GM gave Cadillac.

    EV’s are great for the under 40 crowd that live in urban areas and that market will hopefully grow in the next 20 years – but that’s more limited than Cadillac should be in the next decade.

    Not everyone wants an Escalade, and not every part of the world has adequate EV charging infrastructure. And the 3 row crossover segment is especially hot right now.

    Someone should be fired for not having an excellent replacement in the works 3 years ago to compete with BMW and Genesis. Cadillac is doing well with EV’s, but they will be turning off the oldest and “balance sheet” wealthiest customers they have by not having good ICE products on deck in for the next 5-10 years.

    1. Yet, at the end of the day, GM still sells more vehicles in North America than Toyota does.

      BEVs are the future.

      1. That’s not saying much. At one time gm outsold Toyota exponentially.

        1. GM trouncing Toyota in overall sales is actually “saying” a lot, especially with BEVs in the mix now.

          And GM outselling Toyota “exponentially” at one time is irrelevant, as Toyota was also a much smaller corporation during the 70’s – 90’s without the major global presence Toyota has today.

  35. American Car Makers should never let other car makers get ahead of them in quality.
    I’m from Barbados and I love American vehicles.
    Also this trend of using turbo engines is bad.Turbo engines create a lot heat which in
    turn shortens the life of iCE engines parts.

  36. Billions of dollars of government subsidies paid for by taxpayers to the auto manufacturers have resulted in higher prices, more recalls and less choice for consumers. General Motors is dedicated to building EV’s without any choice for hybrids or PHEV’s.

  37. We loved our XT5 and replaced it with an XT6 to get Super Cruise.

    Then replaced the XT6 with a 2024 Lyriq AWD with the improved Super Cruise with Automatic Lane Change which is outstanding.

    We love the Lyriq , driven 23,000 miles in one year and are looking forward to replacing it with a Vistiq with what will probably be the next version of Super Cruise.
    I believe Mary Barra is doing an outstanding job of leading GM during some very challenging times for the auto industry.

    1. I don’t believe she has done anything positive. I am beginning to wonder is she is GM’s contribution to DEI along with EVs. Lyriq is good but recent reviews show reliability is going down.

      1. Under Mary Barra leadership:
        Corvette C8 including ZR1
        Cadillac Blackwings – with available manual transmission
        New generation of Suburban, Yukon, Escalade
        Super Cruise
        Stock price increase

  40. Currently, I am a not-so-proud owner of a ‘24 XT5 Luxury/Premium-Platinum… traded a Mercedes ML350, initially, in 4/23 for a top line Acadia Denali, (an absolute brick, V-6 sled), traded up in 10/23 for the XT5, w/all the best, V-6, AWD, leather, etc…$65K… It runs fine, though compared to MB 4MATIC, its like a Tonka toy. Aesthetically, it is beautiful, with midnight sky blue over top line tan leather, but… having owned 5 prior caddies, the overall quality of this supposed top of the line vehicle is poor at best. Fit & finish are poor, quality of rugs & mats are reminiscent of the Yugo in the 80’s. Then there’s the infotainment system… AN ABSOLUTE JOKE! Three return trips to the dealer has produced no fix. Despite my being primary, the system will shut down & re-boot whenever the wife gets in. They have no answer…they can keep their SUV’s, as I will probably go back to Mercedes…

  41. XT4,5,&6 would make decent Chevrolets, but Cadillac’s? Not so much.

  42. I been buying Cadillac’s since I was sixteen now I seventy a real Cadillac is a coupe or a sedan not a suv the escalate is cool I’m waiting for the 2025 Fleetwood if it’s going to happen that is luxury to me I think all those suv Cadillac are garbage

  43. Cadillac is the most confused brand out there. The results are causing customers to leave in droves. I don’t believe anyone would buy an end of production vehicle, let alone because it is an ICE. They want us to look ahead to Optiq and Vistiq EVs. I don’t want an EV, certainly not at $20K more than the current models. They should have developed a hybrid but were stuck on EVs. If the $7500 rebate goes away maybe Cadillac will too. I have an XT6 lease up in May but nothing to consider at Cadillac

  45. I have owned 6 new GM vehicles including Pontiacs and Cadillacs. I am driving a new Escalade Sport Platinum. I would consider buying a smaller hybrid SUV in the future to replace my aging second car, but I will never buy an EV unless it can refill as fast a gas vehicle and can be had without a subsidy and no cold-weather range problems. Somebody please fire Mary Barra and stop all the silly DEI and woke nonsense. I am not a Ford or Chrysler fan, and would hate to have to buy a foreign car in the near future, but if all Cadillac can offer is EV SUVs, I am not buying my next car from GM, period.

  46. I bought my first new Cadillac in 1976, an Eldorado convertible, and I have bought fifteen more since then. Sadly, no more. You have lost yet another loyal customer to your obsession with electric vehicles. Practically NO ONE will buy electrics when the ridiculous rebates and tax incentives are gone, which hopefully will be soon! The technology just isn’t there yet. WAKE UP, CADILLAC!!

  47. Didn’t GM just have it’s best quarterly sales in years? Not sure where the company is going broke is coming from. I personally would rather they kept some of each. I bought a 2024 Malibu 6 months ago, not realizing at the time I was getting the last 4 door Chevy car….

  48. I have always driven Cadillacs and chevy short bed regular cab pickups. When chevy sent all regular cab short beds to the middle East, I went to Ford. Now drive a 23 regular cab short bed 310 H.P. twin turbo 6. Love it! I will need to trade my 23 XT5 this year so I will check out Lincoln, Lexas, and BMW. I’m 250 lb. 6’1″ so need room!
    Where I live, townships are shooting down solar farms so I wonder where all the power is coming from for EV’s.

  50. WORST DECISION EVER MADE!! GM you are going to loose so many customers over switching over these Cadillac models to EV. At least you could have made them a hybrid. You’ve lost me as a future customer after owning Cadillac for over 10 yrs and a GM buyer for over 50 yrs

    Reply
  51. What in the hell is GM thinking???? Does GM like giving all the competitors an easy road in?? The competition is loving GM’s decision to go ALL EV’s. Just giving them an open door for THEIR vehicle sales. Almost the whole country got cold weather again this year, so I wonder how far the EV’s got for miles?? AND where is all this electricity going to come from??? Do you people like shutting off your AC when it’s 110 degrees?? OR shutting down your thermostat when it’s -20??? Think about that!! Our country does NOT have the electric grid to handle this EV stuff. EV’s can probably work into our system over time BUT not all at once. I agree with some of you about going hybrids but for now I’m sticking with what has run this country for over 100 years ICE and I own a couple of ICE’s and am now liking the diesel engines that are coming available. Why can’t GM and other American manufacture’s figure that out?? Everybody talks about making AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, then why are you buying BMW’s and Lexius’s and Honda’s and other foreign stuff???

  54. Please NO GM. We’ve had an SRX and 2 XT4s. Enjoyed them all. I am an ICE person since 1971. All You are going to do is drive more customers to other brands. We have always owned GM products. PLEASE keep ICE in your line of vehicles.

  55. This is unconfirmed news. Let GM say this.

  56. Wait until the Trumpster throws out the latest EPA fuel economy/emission standards which almost for certain would kill off ICE vehicles in about 5 years. He’ll reduce the fuel economy standards to make ICE vehicles viable again. Then what will Ford/GM do since all their future product plans revolve around electric vehicles? They will not be able to compete against the foreign brands who still will be offering ICE vehicles. Might see one or both go bankrupt. Both companies suffer from “brain dead” management who are numbers people not car people

  57. I have a 2021 XT5 and was going to upgrade to a XT6. And I get the news that GM was ending its production. I was waiting for GM to redesign the front end of the new XT6. I was going to buy one this year but it still had the old boring front end styling for 2025, so I figured I’d wait another year until they do. I love my XT5! What’s Cadillac up to?

  59. For all those saying they will never buy an EV… what happens when the oil runs out or becomes cost prohibitive?

    Going to evolve then? Or rent a horse?

    The reason you get EVs is because gas cars have no future. Don’t blame GM for the planet you live on.

    Reality is greater than your narrow minded cultural bias and fear of change.

  60. Unless there is way to make solid state batteries at 25% the current costs, which is impossible given the mass of metal inside of them, EVs are more likely to become unaffordable than ICE vehicles. I don’t fear change, I would rather drive a vehicle that runs on a fuel that is inexpensive and can be refilled easily. Right now that is looking more like hydrogen, given the fact the first commercial fusion plant will be opening in Virginia in the next five years.

  61. I fully understand that GM 1) wants to surpass Tesla in sales 2) is rebranding Cadillac, however, to abandoned profitable models, healthy parts of the company, is complete insanity .This goes for Malibu, too. An OEM can always find capacity either via 3ed and 4th shifts or opening up a shuttered factory.
    GM will need to consider Envisions future, too, if trade war persists and waiver disappears. It would not shock me if Trump administration gave an additional waiver for Chinese XT models in exchange for the purchase of men coins.
