On the heels of its debut just a few months ago, customers interested in the second-generation 2025 Cadillac XT5 can now pre-order the luxury crossover… in China.
Pre-orders for the XT5 will be handled through SAIC-GM, Cadillac’s joint venture in China, ahead of its official launch in the Asian country. The luxury marque is offering special incentives for customers who put their names down in the order books, such as a preferential locked-in price and free gifts for buyers of the very first next-gen XT5 units.
Customers who pre-order the XT5 can expect a generous discount of 120,000 yuan, roughly equivalent to $16,920 USD, for each trim level. Notably, the new XT5 is priced higher than other vehicles in its segment, and is considerably more expensive than the all-electric Cadillac Lyriq. That said, the pre-order price makes the XT5 more competitive among its peers.
The 2025 Cadillac XT5 lineup includes three trim levels: Luxury, Distinguished, and Platinum. Pre-order prices are as follows:
The pre-order period will run from September 14th through 30th, 2024, giving interested parties just two weeks to reserve the XT5 at the special price.
The official launch of the 2025 Cadillac XT5 will take place in late September alongside deliveries for pre-order customers. Production of the all-new XT5 is already underway at the Cadillac Jinqiao plant in Shanghai, which will produce the luxury crossover exclusively for the Chinese market.
As a reminder, the second-gen XT5 will not make it to North America. As Cadillac Society recently covered in a recent episode of the Cadillac Society podcast, the luxury marque’s electric vehicle push just didn’t leave any room for internal combustion engined (ICE) vehicles. The current XT5 is produced at the Spring Hill plant in Tennessee, which will soon transition to an EV-only facility, leaving the ICE-based XT5 without a production home outside of China once the model is discontinued Stateside.

And it now represents the best value in its segment.
