Here Is 2025 Cadillac Model Parts Content By Country

Although Cadillac is the quintessential symbol of U.S.-bred luxury, a large percentage of the parts that go into modern Cadillac vehicles is sourced from abroad. As it turns out, components are sourced from the United States, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, and China before final assembly, with international content found across the brand’s internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs). Now, with continued tariffs threats coming from the Trump administration in regard to steel, aluminum, and auto parts, we’re taking a closer look at the Cadillac vehicle parts content, breaking it all down by the source country.

The 2025 Cadillac CT4 and CT5, including the V-Series and Blackwing variants, continue to source 37 percent of their parts from the U.S. and Canada, while 21 percent of components are sourced from Mexico. The remaining content includes 15 percent sourced from China, marking Cadillac’s ongoing reliance on global suppliers, even for its traditionally American-built sedans. The 2025 Cadillac XT4 follows a similar pattern, with 37 percent of its content from the U.S./Canada and 25 percent from Mexico, along with 15 percent from China. Meanwhile, the 2025 Cadillac XT5 and XT6 incorporate 31 percent U.S./Canadian content and 35 percent Mexican content.

For Cadillac’s flagship SUV, the 2025 Escalade, the sourcing balance remains similar to other full-size GM SUVs, with 37 percent of its parts coming from the U.S./Canada and 37 percent from Mexico.

We’ve also seen a shift in Cadillac’s EV lineup, particularly with regard to the Lyriq and Optiq. The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq contained 46 percent U.S./Canadian content and 21 percent South Korean parts, but in 2024, Cadillac altered its sourcing strategy, increasing Chinese content to 18 percent while reducing South Korean content. For the 2025 model year, Cadillac has once again adjusted its approach, eliminating Chinese-sourced content altogether and replacing it with a combination of Mexican and South Korean components. The 2025 Lyriq now consists of 12 percent U.S./Canadian parts, 46 percent Mexican parts, and 20 percent South Korean parts, while the 2025 Optiq follows the same sourcing breakdown, with 12 percent U.S./Canadian content, 46 percent Mexican content, and 20 percent South Korean content.

Check out the table below for a more thorough breakdown of Cadillac model parts content by country. To note, the numbers indicated here do not add up to 100 percent – rather the remainder of components is sourced from countries other than those listed in the table. Additionally, U.S. and Canadian parts content is included under the same column, as separate parts data for these two countries is unavailable, further underlining how interconnected trade is between the U.S. and Canada under the USMCA:

Taking a step back, GM’s decision to phase out Chinese content in the Lyriq between the 2024 and 2025 model years signals a proactive approach in the face new tariffs against China. However, Mexico’s increasing role in Cadillac’s EV production means that any tariffs or trade restrictions affecting Mexican imports could still significantly affect The General’s manufacturing costs. So while GM has moved to diversify its supply chain, it remains heavily dependent on Mexico and South Korea for critical EV components.
