GM Revives 3 Gas-Powered Cadillacs Next Spring as $10.9 Billion EV Charges Mount

1 articles · Updated · CNBC · Jul 21

Next spring, GM will begin rolling out next-generation gasoline Cadillac models—CT5, XT5 and XT6—extending launches through 2028 despite Cadillac’s earlier plan to go all-electric by decade-end.
Barra tied the shift to slower-than-expected EV adoption and U.S. policy changes that eased emissions standards and removed EV support, pressures that have driven $10.9 billion in EV-related charges since late 2025.
The new internal-combustion lineup will sit alongside Cadillac’s existing electric crossovers and Escalade, while GM also keeps expanding gas-engine output, including V-8 production across other brands.
Beginning in 2027, GM also plans to onshore more manufacturing by moving some full-size SUV production to a Michigan plant once earmarked for EVs; those models are now built only in Arlington, Texas.
