Sedans remain a dying breed. Last month, General Motors announced that it would stop producing the current Cadillac CT4 model entirely after 2026, while promising to replace the CT5 with a new sedan within the next few years. Now, a report claims that GM is planning to introduce this car last Passenger car – but the details are a bit vague.
according to GM AuthorityCiting “sources familiar with the matter,” the Detroit automaker is developing “multiple variants” of its new sedan platform. We know the platform will be able to accommodate combustion power, but it’s unclear how GM plans to take advantage of this architecture.
We already know that one car will be the next generation CT5 Replacement, but the word “variables” can mean some different things. GM may be developing different versions of the CT5, such as a new V-Series Blacking, or something else Cadillac Sedan, or something else entirely. Is it time to revive the Buick Grand National? At the very least, can we at least get a new Malibu?
With its main competitor, Stellantis, now doubling its efforts in the combustion product portfolio, GM could be heading down the same path. The new platform underpinning Cadillac’s upcoming sedan will be able to accommodate a gas engine, which means, hopefully, it will be able to fit a new V-8.

GM Authority It was also previously reported that the automaker will update its Alpha 2 platform for the new models, which underpins the current CT5 and CT4 models, as well as the discontinued sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro. the CT5-V Blackwing On sale today features a 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 that produces 668 horsepower, so we have high hopes for whatever GM is planning.
When GM announced it Kill the CT4 and make a new sedanShe also revealed that it will build it at the Grand River Assembly plant in Lansing, Michigan. The company is currently building two Cadillac sedans, and that’s about it. GM will likely need to maximize production at the plant, and a single sedan model likely won’t be able to accomplish that.
Although sedans no longer sell as well as they used to, many automakers continue to offer a range of passenger cars. There are fewer choices for consumers, but the fact that GM hasn’t completely ended production of sedans provides a glimmer of hope that the future won’t just be filled with crossovers, trucks, and SUVs.
