If you needed another reason to be a Cadillac enthusiast, we have just the thing: the stunning Cadillac Escala concept car has approved for production. That much is according to a report from AutoForeCast Solutions, as covered by our sister site GM Authority.
The report states that instead of using an alpa-numeric CT# designation, the production model will simply be dubbed Escala. It will be based on the advanced Omega platform that currently underpins the Cadillac CT6 and enter production in the end of 2021 at General Motors’ Detroit-Hamtramck plant, which is currently home to the Cadillac CT6, Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Impala and Volt.
It’s unclear whether the liftback body style of the Escala concept car will carry over into production, or whether the final car will don a more conventional four-door sedan styling known in the industry as the “three box” design. GM Authority has previously rendered the Escala concept in a traditional sedan design, and we are included that image below.

I wish they could just build it as it is. Unfortunatly, some changes will be made and I hope they won’t change the car too drastically.

About time Cadillac has made a car that is not a spin off of another vehicle small, medium and somewhat larger size of the same style looks . Cadillac was a leader in design of the car market . They had body lines and shape, Hopefully the escala is a step back to the past in design with some body shape and style .

Alex, is this true, i’ve not seen anything on its green light for a long time. This should generate alot of buzz and they should keep that excitment building. I’m not sure this is car is approved?

We can count on Cadillac to continually disappoint us! They kill the XTS and CT6 and never make the Escala. You have to admire BMW, Mercedes and Audi. They continue to improve their large cars; Cadillac has no clue concerning loyalty branding. I may be switching.
