8 New Caddy Cars and Crossovers Due by 2021

General Motors Co. plans to launch four new and redesigned cars and a like number of crossover vehicles by 2021, Automobile reports.

Citing analyst reports and company officials, the magazine says the product offensive will include the XT1, XT3, XT5 and XT7 (or XT8) crossovers to compete against corresponding X-badged BMW models. On tap on the car side are the CT1, CT3, CT5 and CT8. The CT6 sedan bowed last year.

The rollout will start next year with the XT3 and CT3, Automobile says. Both vehicles will ride on GM’s rear-wheel-drive Alpha platform, with the CT3 replacing the current ATS.

Those two models will be followed by the Alpha-based CT5, which will replace the current CTS, and XT7 and XT8 in 2019. The larger crossover will use GM’s Omega architecture.

The pint-sized XT1 is due in 2020. The other three vehicles—the second-generation XT5 and CT1 (or CT2) and flagship CT8—are scheduled to launch in 2021, according to the report. The Escalade full-size SUV also is expected to be updated in coming years, but it will likely continue to ride on its own body-on-frame architecture.

The new models are part of Cadillac’s plan to “reinstate exclusivity, reinvent luxury, and add crossovers” CEO Johan de Nysschen tells Automobile. The goal, he says, is to ensure “Cadillacs are parked in the right driveways again."
