Brand guide

Cadillac lineup.

Cadillac is mid-transformation: the gas XT crossovers are gone, replaced by one of the strongest luxury EV lineups anywhere (Optiq, Lyriq, Vistiq, Escalade IQ), while the CT5 sedan and the mighty Escalade keep the gas flame burning. Every EV pairs with an 8 year / 100,000 mile battery warranty.

Every new Cadillac carries a 4 year / 50,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and 6 year / 70,000 mile powertrain coverage, and Cadillac includes your first scheduled maintenance visit free within the first year.

Coming soon.

XT5 (next generation)

GM confirmed a next-generation gas-powered XT5 for North America: a redesigned exterior, an overhauled interior, and production at Spring Hill, Tennessee.

Future model details come from manufacturer announcements and press reports; timing, specs, and availability can change.

Questions.

Did Cadillac discontinue the XT4, XT5, and XT6?

Yes: all three gas XT crossovers ended after the 2025 model year. Their replacements are electric: the Optiq covers the XT4's spot, the Lyriq the XT5's, and the three-row Vistiq the XT6's. A next-generation gas XT6 has been announced for the future, but it is not on sale yet.

What is the cheapest new Cadillac?

The CT4 sedan, typically starting in the mid $30Ks in its final 2026 year. Among the SUVs, the electric Optiq starts in the low $50Ks before any incentives. On Broker Black every listing shows your real monthly payment with local Arizona or Nevada taxes and fees included.

How far can the Lyriq and Escalade IQ go on a charge?

The Lyriq delivers up to about 326 miles, the Optiq about 302, the Vistiq about 305, and the Escalade IQ leads the luxury class at around 460 miles. All Cadillac EVs carry 8 year / 100,000 mile battery coverage and support Tesla Supercharger access via NACS adapter.

Escalade vs Escalade IQ: which one should I buy?

The gas Escalade gives you V8 sound, proven 8,000 lb towing, and a lower starting price around $91K. The Escalade IQ counters with around 460 miles of silent range, more power, four-wheel steering, and a hangar-sized 55-inch display, starting around $130K. Road-trip towing favors gas; commuting and tech favor the IQ.

Is the Cadillac CT4 being discontinued?

Yes: 2026 is the CT4's final model year, with production ending mid-2026. That makes remaining inventory a negotiating opportunity, and the manual-transmission CT4-V Blackwing a likely future collectible.
