General Motors recently announced its plans to spend US$ 175 million to upgrade its Lansing Grand River assembly plant in order to
build two new Cadillac sedans, and one of the models was recently spotted by
Carscoops reader Greg Craven.
Cadillac has been tight-lipped about specifications,
but the CT5s entry-level engine will likely be shared with the 2019 XT4, which
uses a turbocharged 20-liter four-cylinder that produces 237 hp and 350 Nm of torque. Rumors have also suggested the CT5 will
be offered with a plug-in hybrid powertrain as well as a 3.6-liter V6, while ee
can also expect a CT5 V-Sport and CT5-V in the future.
The Cadillac CT5 is expected to go into be
introduced next year, with sales starting in late 2019. Former Cadillac
President Johan de Nysschen had commented that the model will appeal to
customers looking for a sedan that costs between US$ 35,000 and US$ 45,000.
