GM confirms new Cadillac CT5 for the U.S., staying gasoline

General Motors has confirmed a new generation of the Cadillac CT5 for the U.S. market. Bucking the broader trend, the sedan will stick with classic gasoline power. Production will continue at the Lansing Grand River Assembly plant in Michigan, where the CT5 has been built since 2020.

The next iteration rides on the updated Alpha 2-2 (A2LL-2) platform, an evolution of today’s Alpha 2 architecture. Expectations include a stiffer body, better sound insulation, and more relaxed, confidence-inspiring handling—changes that should make the car feel quieter and more composed on the road.

The current CT5 offers a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine with 237 hp or a 3.0-liter V6 with 335 hp, both paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The CT5-V is rated at 360 hp, while the flagship CT5-V Blackwing delivers 668 hp from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8.

In short, Cadillac is betting on familiar hardware, keeping the CT5 among the standout gasoline-powered business sedans even as electric models gain momentum. The message is clear: there’s still an audience that values the character and engagement of a well-sorted combustion engine.
