The Cadillac CT4 and CT5 are ending after 2026 with a new gas-powered CT5 contender confirmed

Cadillac is saying goodbye to two of its sedans, but not to gas power just yet.

The CT4 and CT5 will wrap up production after 2026, closing a chapter for Cadillac’s current lineup.

However, the bigger news is that a new generation of CT5 is already in the works and it’s sticking with an internal combustion engine.

At a time when most automakers are racing to go electric, Cadillac is quietly doubling down on ‘the luxury of choice’.

Cadillac to end production of its two sedans

Cadillac has officially confirmed that both the CT4 and CT5 will end production after the 2026 model year.

The CT4 bows out in June, while the CT5 continues until the end of the year.

But in a twist, the CT5 isn’t going anywhere long-term – a next-generation version with a gas engine has already been signed off.

Built at GM’s Lansing Grand River Assembly plant in Michigan, the new CT5 will be sold across the US and Canada.

That means the current CT5 generation will end, but the nameplate itself isn’t dying.

It’s being replaced by a fully updated model built from the ground up.

Vice President John Roth said the move underscores Cadillac’s ‘luxury of choice,’ giving buyers the freedom to pick how they power their cars.

It’s a rare decision in a market sprinting toward electrification and one that highlights Cadillac’s confidence in its ICE loyalists.

Cadillac hasn’t shared a launch date for the new CT5 yet, but the confirmation alone is enough to reassure fans that the badge will live on.

And sales figures explain why it’s the one getting saved.

The CT5 outsells the CT4 three to one, and demand for the bigger sedan keeps climbing.

What the new CT5 means for the future of Cadillac sedans

Cadillac’s decision to keep the CT5 running on gasoline stands out in a lineup that’s rapidly electrifying.

Models like the Lyriq SUV and Celestiq flagship (featured in the video above) are shaping the brand’s electric identity, but the CT5 reminds everyone that combustion still has a place.

Rather than picking a side, Cadillac’s choosing both, pushing forward with EV innovation while refusing to silence what made its cars iconic in the first place.

The CT4 and CT5 may be nearing their final laps but Cadillac’s next chapter proves one thing.

Electricity can power the future but gas still fuels the passion.
