Production of the Cadillac XT6 was initially scheduled to end on November 26th. However, things at the Spring Hill assembly plant will be changed up sooner than expected, with the final unit of the three-row luxury crossover now set to be built on November 7th, 2025 – almost three weeks earlier than originally planned.
Once that date comes, the XT6 will be discontinued in the U.S. market, along with the XT4. The XT5 was also headed for the graveyard, however, a very recent development has yielded plans to build and sell second-generation XT5 Stateside.
If it weren’t for changes made by the Trump administration regarding EV tax credits and other policies that would incentivize automakers to aggressively pursue a transition to electrification, chances are the XT5 wouldn’t have received this second wind. It’s possible for the XT6 to also receive this merciful treatment, but we haven’t heard of Cadillac planning any updates to the XT6 as of this writing.
Cadillac Vistiq
Meanwhile, Cadillac’s latest battery electric models are experiencing record-setting growth in sales. Building on that momentum is the arrival of the XT6’s indirect replacement, the Vistiq. Although larger, the three-row crossover EV occupies a similar market space, slotting between the Escalade IQ and Lyriq, which will eventually serve as indirect replacements to the Escalade and XT5, respectively.

There are very few large luxury vehicles from imports that can compete against the Cadillac Vistiq in price, performance, and features. Cadillac has a winner.

This is very bad news!!! The Cadillac XT6 is an excellent car/SUV/CUV. Call it what you like, but its very good looking, roomy and comfortable and get’s great mileage. I have a 2024 Lux Prem, Platinum with captains chairs in the second row. I love it and would definitely lease another when my lease is up next year, but if the XT6 is no longer available I’ll be forced to change brands, after more than 45 years of Cadillac loyalty, or just buy my car out of the lease and keep it forever. Either way Cadillac looses future sales and a loyal customer.

If GM had a brain, they would bring back the CT6, imported from china so many cadillac customers could purchase a new large sedan…..They could even bring back the hybrid CT6 as it was a great car, but cadillac never
marketed well any of the CT6 models.
