Cadillac will cease production of its CT4 and CT5 sedans by mid-2025, ending the brand's presence in the traditional four-door segment as it transitions entirely to electric vehicles and SUVs.
The decision affects two of Cadillac's last remaining sedans. Production will wind down at GM's Lansing Grand River Assembly plant in Michigan, where both models have been built since their respective launches in 2019 and 2020.
No direct replacements are planned for either model. Cadillac's product roadmap now centers on the Lyriq electric crossover, the Escalade IQ arriving in 2024, and future EV-only models based on GM's Ultium platform.
The CT4 and CT5 represented Cadillac's attempt to compete in the compact and mid-size luxury sedan segments against the BMW 3/5 Series, Mercedes C/E-Class, and Audi A4/A6. The CT5-V Blackwing, with its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 producing 668 hp and a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, became the brand's performance flagship.
Current CT4 pricing starts at $37,390 MSRP plus $1,095 destination, while the CT5 begins at $42,990. The V-Series Blackwing models command $62,590 (CT4-V) and $91,590 (CT5-V). Average transaction prices in November 2025 ran $45,200 and $58,400 respectively, according to Cox Automotive data.
Existing inventory will continue through dealer stock into late 2025. Cadillac dealers report current supplies sufficient for 75-90 days at current sales rates, with no plans for final-edition models or special commemorative packages.
The move leaves Cadillac with no sedans in its U.S. lineup for the first time since 1902. The brand will continue selling the CT4 and CT5 in China, where sedan demand remains stronger and the models are locally produced.
GM's broader sedan strategy has narrowed significantly. The Chevrolet Malibu ends production in late 2024, leaving only the Corvette—technically a two-door coupe—as GM's sole passenger-car offering in North America outside of electric vehicles.
Residual values for V-Blackwing models have held stronger than base trims. Three-year-old CT5-V Blackwings currently trade at 68 percent of original MSRP, compared to 52 percent for four-cylinder CT5 sedans, according to Black Book data from November 2025.
Cadillac's transition timeline shows the Escalade IQ electric SUV entering production in summer 2024, followed by an electric three-row crossover in 2026 and at least two additional Ultium-based models by 2027. The brand has committed to an all-electric lineup by 2030.
For buyers considering either sedan, current model-year 2025 versions remain available with 0.9% APR financing through GM Financial on select trims. The high-performance Blackwing variants carry no factory incentives but maintain allocation waiting lists at most dealers.
The question now: whether Cadillac's electric-only gambit will attract the same enthusiasts who chose rear-drive, V8-powered sedans—or whether those buyers move to BMW M, Mercedes AMG, or the used market entirely.
