Cadillac CT4, CT5 Production Down During First Week Of January 2024

Production of the Cadillac CT4 and Cadillac CT5 luxury sedans was idled for a period of two weeks, according to a recent report from Automotive News

All North American production facilities of Cadillac parent, General Motors, were closed the week of December 25th, 2023 in observance of the holidays. However, operations at the Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan – which builds the CT4 and CT5 for North American markets – was also idled through the first week of January, set to resume on January 8th, 2024. This will allow Cadillac to perform scheduled maintenance at the facility before continuing production of the Cadillac CT4 and CT5. 

As a reminder, there are quite a few engine options for Caddy’s two sedan offerings. The CT4 features the turbocharged 2.0L I4 (production code LSY), rated at 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, as standard on the Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport trim levels (identified by the 350T badge on the decklid). The turbocharged 2.7L I4 (production code L3B) is optional on the CT4 Premium Luxury, where it’s rated at 310 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, identified by the 500T badge. The L3B engine is standard on the CT4-V, making 325 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the CT4-V Blackwing is powered by the twin-turbo 3.6L V6 (production code LF4) rated at 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. Both the CT4-V and CT4-V Blackwing are identified by V-Series badges on the decklid.

The CT5 features the 2.0L I4 (production code LSY), rated at 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, as standard on the Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport trim levels, identified by the 350T badge. The twin-turbo 3.0L V6 (production code LGY) is optional on the CT5 Premium Luxury, where it makes 335 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque and is identified by the 550T badge. The LGY is standard on the CT5-V, where it makes 360 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. The CT5-V Blackwing is powered by the supercharged 6.2L V8 (production code LT4) making a whopping 668 horsepower and 669 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful Cadillac in history. As with the CT4 V-Series range, both the CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing are identified by V-Series badges on the decklid.

It’s worth noting that the CT4 and CT5 are now the only two vehicles assembled at the Lansing Grand River plant, as the final Chevrolet Camaro rolled off the line in mid-December, as reported by our sister publicationGM Authority
