Cadillac models.
Cadillac CT4
2026 is the CT4's final year, which makes the last rear-drive compact Caddy a value play, and the 472 hp V Blackwing with a manual gearbox an instant collectible.
Cadillac CT5
Cadillac's sedan flagship: a 33-inch curved display, available Super Cruise hands-free driving, and a 668 hp supercharged V8 Blackwing that hunts BMW M5s.
Cadillac Optiq
The entry Cadillac EV: around 302 miles of range, standard dual-motor AWD, a 33-inch display, and Super Cruise included. The V version hits 60 in about 3.5 seconds.
Cadillac Lyriq
The EV that changed Cadillac's story: up to about 326 miles of range, a 33-inch curved display, and a cabin that outclasses German rivals. The Lyriq-V is the quickest Cadillac ever built, per Cadillac.
Cadillac Vistiq
The new three-row electric Cadillac: 615 hp standard, around 305 miles of range, and a baby-Escalade IQ presence for families who want the full EV switch.
Cadillac Escalade IQ
The electric Escalade: around 460 miles of range, up to 750 hp in Velocity Max, a 55-inch pillar-to-pillar display, and four-wheel steering that shrinks it in parking lots. The stretched IQL adds even more room.
Cadillac Escalade
The definitive American luxury SUV, refreshed with a 55-inch curved display and available power doors. V8 standard, an ESV stretch for maximum room, and the 682 hp Escalade-V for maximum everything.
Cadillac XT5 (next generation)
GM confirmed a next-generation gas-powered XT5 for North America: a redesigned exterior, an overhauled interior, and production at Spring Hill, Tennessee.

Did Cadillac discontinue the XT4, XT5, and XT6?
Yes: all three gas XT crossovers ended after the 2025 model year. Their replacements are electric: the Optiq covers the XT4's spot, the Lyriq the XT5's, and the three-row Vistiq the XT6's. A next-generation gas XT6 has been announced for the future, but it is not on sale yet.
What is the cheapest new Cadillac?
The CT4 sedan, typically starting in the mid $30Ks in its final 2026 year. Among the SUVs, the electric Optiq starts in the low $50Ks before any incentives. Plus each dealership's own documentary fee (not a government fee), taxes, and government fees. When a participating dealership lists one on The Model Black, the listing shows your estimated monthly payment with local taxes and fees included.
How far can the Lyriq and Escalade IQ go on a charge?
The Lyriq delivers up to about 326 miles, the Optiq about 302, the Vistiq about 305, and the Escalade IQ leads the luxury class at around 460 miles. All Cadillac EVs carry 8 year / 100,000 mile battery coverage and support Tesla Supercharger access via NACS adapter.
Escalade vs Escalade IQ: which one should I buy?
The gas Escalade gives you V8 sound, proven 8,000 lb towing, and a lower starting price around $91K. The Escalade IQ counters with around 460 miles of silent range, more power, four-wheel steering, and a hangar-sized 55-inch display, starting around $130K. Plus each dealership's own documentary fee (not a government fee), taxes, and government fees. Road-trip towing favors gas; commuting and tech favor the IQ.
Is the Cadillac CT4 being discontinued?
Yes: 2026 is the CT4's final model year, with production ending mid-2026. That makes remaining inventory a negotiating opportunity, and the manual-transmission CT4-V Blackwing a likely future collectible.
