Cadillac recently released some new images of the forthcoming second-generation CT6 before it’s finally revealed in full later today. These new images provide our best look yet at the overhauled, second-gen model’s revamped cabin, which has been a mystery until now.
The most striking feature of the next-generation Cadillac CT6 interior is the massive 33-inch curved 9K OLED display encompassing the gauge cluster and infotainment center, spanning the vehicle’s instrument panel and center stack. The display is powered by the Qualcom Snapdragon 8155 chip for smooth performance, and 5G connectivity will be standard across the board for the forthcoming CT6. This setup, which is reminiscent – if not identical – to that of the Cadillac Lyriq, is much more techn-laden than that of the first-generation CT6.

The Cadillac CT6 will debut later shortly, and will launch during the second quarter of 2023 in China. The model will continue to be built at the Jinquiao Cadillac China plant. At this time, we are not aware of any plans to offer the next-gen CT6 outside the Asian country. As a reminder, the first-gen CT6 was discontinued for the North American market back in 2020.
Under the hood, the current-generation Cadillac CT6 harnesses the turbocharged 2.0L I4 engine (production code LSY) in China, which produces 233 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This engine is mated exclusively to the luxury marque’s 10-speed automatic transmission. We expect the next-gen CT6 to retain this powertrain.

The more I read and see of the next gen, China only CT6, the angrier I am with Cadillac. The design is a handsome evolution and the technology appears to be vastly advanced … but not for North America. Great job, Cadillac ! Angry enough to want to cancel the CT5 V that’s been in order for almost six months.
Frankrizzo
You correct,the same for the XT5.
Rick
I’m angry too.I love my 2019 ct6 and would get a new one. But I guess GM can do better in China,that makes me no longer a GM customer.
Bill Howland
I’m not satisfied with the Lyriq display. It does not respond to touch nearly as easily as other GM displays do. Borderline dangerous when you are trying to drive at the same time.
The display also gets too hot.

A real shame and an insulto that this car is only for China.
Dwayne Weems
China can have it. No one here wants a Underpowered V4 CT6 anyway.. I love my 2017. it has power and Cadillac who defined the Sedan .. Has abandoned the luxury sedan..SHAME ON CADILLAC
LC
Why tease the American market? The cancelation of the CT6 is/was another bad move. The CT5 is a great car but no CT6. The Celestiq is out priced for most people. So what do larger sedan buyers have (please don’t say one of the under powered SUV’S)?
Frank Ricciardi
In my opinion, focusing on the China Market and ignoring the US market and all the loyal customers that have supported the brand for 100 years is going to bite Cadillac on the ass !!!

It’s a good looking evolution of the design, but I prefer the 2019-20 styling. I have a 2019 CT6 V Model with 4.2L TT, it’s gonna take a revolutionary styled and performance Cadillac to get me out of my current one. Follow this link to see my CT6-V

I totally agree with LC and Frank. I have one of the few 2019 CT6’s with the Blackwing V8 engine and Super Cruise, and the performance and handling is amazing. The best ever for a Cadillac. However, the styling is dated and barely OK. If Cadillac would have taken the new styling they displayed in some of their old CT6 teasers at an airport with a Gulfstream next to the car, and continued the Blackwing V8 option, that would have been a beautiful car in the $150k range, instead of the radical looking electric Celestiq at a crazy $300k plus. I’ll buy an elegantly styled Bentley Continental GT any day before I would buy the Cadillac Celestiq. Finally, I’m very surprised that no one is talking about the very high electromagnetic fields one is engulfed in when you are driving an electric car. Studies have been done years ago that indicate a much higher incidence of certain cancers when one is exposed to these fields for prolonged periods of time.

Alan, the styling of the ct6 has been a let down for me and others despite it having the most advanced chassis of any production car on the planet. As a side note, since avilable vehicles from caddy keeps going downhill, I drove a Lyric yesterday and it was wonderful, except for the absolutely horrible one-pedal driving mode the car defaults in, where you release the accelerator and the car jerks you forward because it brakes from the motor …it is not an acceptable mode of transportation for ANY car, much less a car that is supposed to be refined. The salesman had to explain it before I drove it. Yes there is a bypass but it has to pushed each time you drive the car. it is truly unbelievable how something that is such a turn off gets by anyone at Caddy. Just like the CT5 with 4 cyl and its unrefined drivebilty issues (and I have and love the 4cyl in my other GM car)

Way to go Cadillac/GM… continuing to suck up to the Chinese market and forgetting about the market that made it a world class luxury car. Notice I said CAR and not those awful CUV, SUV and compact cars that you are trying to force feed us. Forget the Lyriq and that fugly Celestiq. No EV’s for me, we travel more than 350-400 miles a day and I can’t have an extension cord long enough. Charging station are a joke and in the winter the range is going to go down alot.
Bring the CT6 gen 2 to the US, but it has to have at least the V6 or Blackwing. The 4-cylinder turbo POS can’t get out of its own way. I have driven it in a CT5 Premium and a CT4 Premium. Gas guzzlers and anemic.
I own a 2017 CT6 Premium, AWD, AWD, Supercruise, a 2020 CT6 Premium Luxury, AWD, AWS, Supercruise and the old reliable 2002 Cadillac DHS Northstar with just over 100K miles on it. All great FULL SIZED LUXURY SEDANS. I’ll keep them all as long as I can, then I’ll find another one someplace to replace them or rebuild them.

Why are they even showing us this car ?
GM Owner
Bring this sedan back to the U.S. since there are thousands of potential customers who want a luxury sedan, but only see foreign brands on sale.

I have a 2019 CT6 premium luxury. I will keep it until it dies. Bring back the CT6 to the USA. Cadillac has stabbed us large loyal car buyers in the back. I’m tired of them pushing SUVs. Cadillac should be ashamed of themselves. Stop catering to China who caused the pandemic that killed thousands of people around the world. Cater to the USA and bring back the CT6. It’s not all about SUVs.
