Cadillac XT6 gets new look with tech-focused updates
Cadillac has launched an updated version of the XT6 in China, which features a new digital dashboard and a larger infotainment system. The crossover is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 233 horsepower. Deliveries are set to begin later this month, but it's unclear whether these updates will carry over to US-spec models. Cadillac is preparing to launch the 2026 Vistiq, but they haven't forgotten about the XT6.

Join the Cadillac Electric Vehicle Lineup Cadillac invites members of the automotive media to attend the launch event in Culver City, California. While not driving the Vistiq, we did get a pretty thorough introduction from several members of the design, product, and engineering teams. Here's a quick look at this premium midsize electric SUV. Three-row midsize electric Cadillac The 2026 Vistiq will fill the gap between the full-size Escalade IQ and the smaller Lyriq and Optiq EVs.

Pick of the Day: 1957 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe
A 1957 Cadillac Coupe stretches 220.9 inches long. That's 10 inches longer than the 2024 three-row Ford Expedition sport utility vehicle. To say that the 1957 Cadillac "had its place" in transportation would be an understatement. Cars were (and still are) a status symbol, a trophy and a form of self-expression for those lucky enough to own and drive one. The Pick of the Day is a 1957 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Miami, Florida. (Click the link to see the list) "Engine and transmission numbers match," the seller says. Some details on the car are listed: "Electronic ignition, alternator, Edelbrock carburetor, air conditioning." GM designer Harley Earl drew the lines for this car, and even after 67 years, it remains attractive. The body has lots of chrome and brightwork (according to the seller, some of the trim has been redone). The 62 Series rides on General Motors' C-body platform, which is…
GM turns Fairfax into electric car factory, Cadillac kills XT4
Cadillac's Kanas-Fairfax plant will stop producing the XT4 SUV in January. The plant also lost the Chevrolet Malibu this month and will build the new Bolt EV next year. XT4 sales decline in 2024, and the SUV loses its base model in 2025. Cadillac is killing off its smallest and cheapest SUV, the XT4, which starts at just under $38,000. Production at GM's Fairfax, Kan., plant will officially end in January 2025, marking the end of the line after seven years of sales for the first and only generation of the crossover. The decision leaves buyers with two options: upgrade to the larger, pricier XT5 (which starts at nearly $44,000), or switch operations to a rival brand. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP") { adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd(" 6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); In fact, they're already shopping elsewhere, and Cadillac knows it.

This Cadillac CTS-V race car isn’t here to make friends
This 2003 Cadillac CTS-V race car is equipped with a 6.0-liter LS2 V8 engine that produces 500 horsepower and is suitable for track use. The car was built by Pratt & Miller, comes with additional performance parts, and will be up for auction. The CTS-V marks a new chapter in Cadillac's history. It's a return to true performance thanks to the RWD layout. The brand is even bold enough to compete with the platform.

Cadillac OpenSpace is the only self-driving RV we can make
Think of it as a luxurious little house that takes you to your destination General Motors Design has unveiled the fourth and final concept car in its line of autonomous vehicles. The Level 5 self-driving car, called Cadillac OpenSpace, is actually a luxury sedan. Although it is just a concept, it hints at the future of RVs redefining luxury self-driving travel. Concept cars are often wild, fun, and even a little crazy. At the same time, few can match the level of luxury found in Cadillac's OpenSpace RV. Two years after first teasing us with vague details, General Motors Design decided it was time to peel back the concept's digital layers. So, let's dig into what exactly OpenSpace is, why General Motors might be bringing it back into the spotlight, and what it hints at about the future of luxury mobility. OpenSpace was initially considered to be the largest of Cadillac's four self-driving concept vehicles, including the futuristic InnerSpace coupe,…

Diego’s AutoHunter Picks
there are many The current listings on AutoHunter are all great cars, but I happened to pick out 4 GM products from the 1960s. I never want to be accused of favoring one company over another, but I understand that people at Mopar can be sensitive sometimes. Three of the AutoHunter Picks lean toward the muscle car side; the fourth—an unexpected choice—is pure luxury, 1968 style. Each allows you to wear a different hat. Which hat would you like to wear today? 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28Generally speaking, I prefer midsize muscle cars to pony cars, so the Camaro was never on my radar as a kid. No amount of COPO or Z/28 can attract this budding enthusiast! My opinion has changed a bit as I've gotten older, especially the Z/28, which has a completely different driving experience than the big cars - it's almost like an American car for Alfa enthusiasts. Being Rallye Green is a plus for this 1969…
Diego’s AutoHunter Picks
red is my favorite Color, but I don't like red cars. I prefer red prune. For example, my dream Dodge Charger is a 1969 R/T, white with red bumblebee stripes and interior. Does it make sense? Still, I can't help myself, these AutoHunter Picks are all one color variant. They all touch different parts of my life: youth, fantasy, adulthood and late modeling. Which one lifts your skirt? 2011 Cadillac CTS-V CoupeAt the time, it was my American car of choice. My friend Ken thinks this is the best looking Cadillac ever built. I'd bet that cooler heads would prevail for both of us today, but the CTS Coupe remains a strong design that strikes a balance between perfection and polarization, just like the Ram trucks of the 1990s. Make it a CTS-V, and this Caddy is a car that can compete with Germany's best. This 2011 CTS-V Coupe is one of approximately 3,224 vehicles produced that year. Of course,…
Pick of the Day: 1955 Cadillac Series 60 Special
In Detroit, you can always Rely on evolution, sometimes not always in the best way. Too often, we witness a special model being watered down into something less special. Our Daily Picks aren't often used as examples of this, but they're worth discussing. This 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60 Special is listed on ClassicCars.com for sale by a dealer in West Chester, Pennsylvania. (Click the link to see the list) In the early days, Cadillac models (like many brands) were listed in different series. For example, the 1938 Cadillac model lineup included the Series Sixty, Series Sixty-five, Series Seventy-five, and Series Ninety, the latter powered by a V16 engine rather than a V8. Each series is also defined by wheelbase, with the 75 Series and 90 Series having the same length at 141.25 inches. Although it is Cadillac's entry-level series, the Series Sixty Special is different from all other Cadillacs. Bill Mitchell, young designer child prodigyIt was originally intended to…

Hennessey’s 1,005-horsepower Cadillac Escalade-V races Lamborghini
Hennessey's Escalade-V is more powerful than the 631-horsepower Huracan Evo, but it's also nearly 3,000 pounds heavier go through Brad Anderson 15 hours ago While the Cadillac has significantly more power than the Lamborghini, it also weighs nearly 3,000 pounds more. John Hennessey got behind the wheel of the Escalade-V H1000 himself to see what it could do. A standing start and a rolling drag race were conducted to see which of the two was fastest. The Cadillac Escalade isn't the type of vehicle you'd normally expect to see racing against the Lamborghini Huracan Evo. However, Hennessey Performance's Escalade-V H1000 is no ordinary Escalade. In fact, this beast is pretty much the fastest SUV of its size on the planet. Hennessey launched its H1000 package for the Escalade-V late last year and will build 100 examples for the 2023 and 2024 model years. It has an incredible 1,005 horsepower and 882 pound-feet (1,195 Nm) of torque, and despite weighing about…
Is a vehicle speeding past a greeting or an attack?
If you have ever driven When you're driving a high-performance car (especially a flashy one) on a public road, you may encounter people driving similar cars zipping past you at unnecessary speeds or showing off their car's performance in various ways. I've been there before. I thought I knew what it meant, but now I'm not so sure. Image credit: Ford I started noticing this behavior a few years ago while driving various media vehicles. The first incident I remember was in Austin, Texas. I was driving a 2015 Ford Mustang GT, waiting for the light ahead to turn from red to green. Before the light turned green, a guy in an older Mustang (maybe an S197?) zipped by on the left. Maybe he was in a hurry and didn't see my test car. Maybe he drives this way all the time. Or maybe he wanted to send a message to Mustang fans. Photo credit: Stellantis The next time something…

China’s new Cadillac XT5 will make you jealous, we don’t understand
Cadillac has announced pricing and other details for the redesigned XT5 for China. This model costs the equivalent of $39,458 and is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 227 horsepower. It's far more luxurious than the U.S.-spec crossover as it comes with a 33-inch curved display, semi-aniline leather seats, and wood trim. Cadillac has released a slew of new details about the redesigned XT5 in China.

AutoHunter Spotlight: 2005 Cadillac XLR
Featured Automatic Hunteran online auction platform operated by ClassicCars.com, is this 2005 Cadillac XLR. The Cadillac XLR is a fascinating car. Unlike the Allante that Cadillac introduced decades ago, the XLR is a stunning design, designed by my friend Kip Wasenko, that takes the strongest parts of Cadillac's design language and puts them all into the design of a luxury GT car. The XLR has a very nice body and is based on the C6 Corvette chassis, so it has an excellent foundation. In fact, the XLR was built at the same time as the C6 Corvette at GM's plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The problem at the time was that it was priced very close to the Mercedes SL500 and Jaguar XK8, which led many buyers to choose the European car over the new American one. This is a shame because the XLR is a fantastic GT car and is very rare, with only 15,460 produced in total. In…

1973 Cadillac Eldorado Pilot
A few days ago, I've written about the 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV before, and highlighted how it was the only car of this generation that showed the designers' pure vision, as its appearance was hampered by the federally mandated 5 mph bumpers in 1973. This time, our Pick of the Day looks at how a direct competitor to the Mark IV handled the regulation... but slightly differently.

(Click on the link to view the listing.) 1973 Cadillac participates in the Indianapolis 500 Throughout much of the 1950s and 1960s, the Cadillac Eldorado evolved from a special edition convertible to the brand's sportiest model until company bosses decided to upgrade it to a personal luxury coupe in 1967. It shared the same platform as the Oldsmobile Toronado, meaning it was the second front-wheel drive car on GM's roster until 1979. The official…

Daily Picks: 2007 Cadillac XLR-V
this Daily Selection It's a 2007 Cadillac XLR-V listed on ClassicCars.com by a New York dealer. In a 1976 brochure, Cadillac called its Eldorado convertible "the last of its kind" and warned readers: "This is the only convertible currently built in America—there won't be another like it for 1977." Sure enough, the 1977 Eldorado brochure didn't show a convertible, but its predecessor wasn't the last of its kind. Cadillac released the updated Eldorado Biarritz convertible in 1984. The Pinifarina-designed Allante followed for the 1987 model year. Its successor, the XLR, arrived in 2004. In the years leading up to the XLR's release, Cadillac made some major changes to its product line. By the 2004 model year, it already had two SUVs: the SRX and the Escalade. It also decided to appeal to performance-minded buyers with its V-Series of cars, starting with the LS6-powered CTS-V sedan. The XLR benefited from Cadillac's focus on building cars that combine comfort with performance. First,…
The 2025 Cadillac Optiq starts at $52,895, but should
Although it costs more than the Model Y Performance, the Optiq looks more upscale and is better equipped. All versions of the electric SUV use an 85 kWh battery pack with dual electric motors. Cadillac will soon phase out the base Lyriq, widening the gap between it and the Optiq. The 2025 Cadillac Optiq will start at $52,895 in the United States before the $1,495 destination charge, which means it will be slightly more expensive than the Tesla Model Y Performance and a few thousand dollars cheaper than the larger Cadillac Lyriq. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); Recent order guide data shows that the Optiq range will start with the entry-level luxury 1SC.

Cadillac explains its unique sales strategy in Australia
Cadillac is establishing an independent retail business in Australia, selling cars directly to customers rather than through franchised dealers. This is in stark contrast to General Motors Specialty Vehicles (GMSV), which offers both factory-built (Chevrolet Corvette) and locally remanufactured (Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Yukon) right-hand-drive vehicles through a network of franchised dealers, many of which once sold Holden vehicles. Cadillac will open its first “experience centre” this year at Sydney’s Rosebery Engine Yards retail and lifestyle precinct, featuring multiple car parks, delivery and repair bays and “state-of-the-art” repair facilities. The company has previously announced it will open an experience centre in Melbourne, but has yet to confirm a location. Cadillac Sydney Experience Center "We do have to build a network as well, so part of the reason is we don't have a timeline," Shilpan Amin, GM International senior vice president and president, told Australian and New Zealand media. “We’re not going to force companies to have a certain number of customer…
