This week, we showed you photos from inside the GM Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas of what appears to be the production of the last-ever Cadillac XT4, which was built in January. The Cadillac XT4 was discontinued along with the Fairfax-built Chevy Malibu to make production room for the next-generation Chevy Bolt EV. Now, we’ve tracked down the VIN and found the last Cadillac XT4 for sale at a dealership in Canada.
The last Cadillac XT4 is sitting on the lot of Park Lane Cadillac in Sarnia, Ontario, possibly with the dealer not even realizing it’s the last one that will ever be built. It has a list price of CA$63,327, which converts to approximately $45,700 USD.
The final Cadillac XT4 is in a pretty desirable spec. For starters, it’s in the Sport trim with all-wheel drive. Optional equipment includes 20-inch Dynamic Multi-Spoke alloy wheels with Diamond Cut/Dark Android finish (RPO Q86), the Active Sport Suspension (F45), and Crystal White Tricoat paint (G1W). Like every Cadillac XT4, it’s powered by the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY engine mated to the GM 9-speed automatic transmission.
The Cadillac XT4 first debuted for the 2019 model year and received a mid-cycle refresh for 2024, which only lasted for two model years. Its discontinuation marked a short lifespan for the XT4 with only one generation. Its spiritual successor is the 2025 Cadillac Optiq, the luxury brand’s smallest and most affordable electric crossover, which began deliveries shortly before the XT4 ceased production.

As for the next-generation Chevy Bolt EV that will soon be built at the Fairfax assembly plant, we expect an official unveiling this summer or fall for a 2026 model-year debut. The new Bolt will not have a clean-sheet design; it will essentially be a heavily refreshed Chevy Bolt EUV riding on the BEV2 platform, using newer battery and motor technology.
If you’re a Cadillac collector with a particular affinity for the XT4 compact crossover, this is an opportunity to pick up a special example of a mainstream vehicle.

Another stupid move by Mary. Why is it Lexus can make hybrids and GM can’t?
Lexus / Toyota could just be more effective and efficient at making hybrids. GM knows how to make them, but can they make reliable and cost effective? Think of all the simple technology solutions that have been around decades that become quagmires of complexity when GM tries to implement them. Add that with an eagerness to lay off workers while buying back billions in stocks, and you get short term quarterly planning.
Love our 2024 XT4 Premium Luxury purchased August 2024. Had always been a lifetime Chevyman. Wife wanted exactly this Caddy down to the Radiant Red Tintcoat exterior with Oxford Stone leather interior. Sadly will be our first & last Cadillac as no need or interest in EV or ICE Escalade. Sad.
