2022/23 Cadillac XT-5: first look?
Cadillac's big news lately has been the announcement of the all-new Lyriq electric SUV. And recently, we have seen teasers for the n upcoming Celestiq sedan. Another EV.
But for years, Cadillac's best-selling model has been the XT-5. With over 49 000 of them sold in 2019. Which is still fine, but almost 20 000 less than 2 years earlier. So basically, a good seller in need of a new generation, sooner than later. (The Lexus RX still sells over twice as many units every year...)
The current one came out in 2016. And with sales dropping, a new generation will be welcome. Which should happen next year. There is a rumor that GM will not be spending tons of cash on new ICE platforms anymore. This means the next XT-5 could use an updated version of the current model. Another possibility is using a slightly longer version of the XT-4 platform. (Shared with the new 2021 Buick Envision)
This could actually be the last gas-powered XT-5. Since GM seems to be spending everything on EVs. By 2028, when this new XT-5 turns 6, most Cadillac models will be electric.
I was told by Cadillac designers, that the fantastic screen setup from the new Escalade would trickle down to the rest of their models. The new XT-5 could be the first "non-Escalade" to get it. (Unless Cadillac revises the interior of the CT-5 earlier). It would be a huge improvement over the current interior design. Which looked quite plain and already old when it came out in 2016.
The competition is not resting either. I bet the next Lexus RX will be pretty impressive as well. With an even better hybrid setup (maybe even standard). And probably a plug-in version added. GM really needs to offer some kind of a plug-in hybrid system on the next XT-5. Something else besides the good old "2.0 Liter with a V6 option"...
