General Motors Co. is investing $175 million in its Grand River assembly plant in Lansing, Mich., to ready the facility for future Cadillac sedans.
The factory, which currently builds the Cadillac ATS compact and CTS midsize cars and Chevrolet Camaro sports coupe, will replace the two Caddy sedans with a single model next year. The new vehicle is expected to be called the CT5.
A small sedan, tentatively called the CT4, also is said to be in the works as Cadillac overhauls its product lineup. The new small car likely will be built in Lansing too.
GM says it has begun installing new tooling and equipment at the plant. The ATS will be discontinued after the 2018 model year.
In 2016 GM spent $211 million to add new tooling and equipment at the Lansing facility. The investment also included a 32,000-sq-ft addition to the body shop.
