In the ever-growing crossover and SUV craze, it almost seems as though sedans of all sorts are fading into obscurity. Indeed, the Cadillac CT4‘s days are almost certainly numbered, and yet, it appears as though General Motors hasn’t completely kicked the bucket on sedans for its luxury marque just yet.
According to a report from Drive, The General is reportedly developing a new generation of Cadillac sedans that will likely feature all-electric powertrains, and could be introduced sometime in the coming years.

“SUVs are a necessary evil,” GM Global Design Vice President Michael Simcoe remarked. “They’ve taken over the market. [SUVs are] a comfortable, rational purchase. For those who can afford it, though, there’s always a second car that isn’t an SUV. We will certainly have a sedan in the portfolio at some point in the future. Sedans aren’t dead.”
It’s worth noting that Simcoe could be referring to the prestigious Cadillac Celestiq, which may eventually debut for the Australian market as rival to Bentley and Rolls-Royce offerings. That being said, he also acknowledged that there’s room for more affordable electric sedans in Caddy’s future lineup.

Of course, GM Authority reported on this possibility nearly two years ago. Per previous GMA coverage, Cadillac will still produce “low hip-point” or low H-point vehicles in the future. For reference, the aforementioned Celestiq is considered a low H-point vehicle, and could serve as the basic framework for future sedans from the luxury marque moving forward.
More recently, GM Authority reported that there are currently two all-electric Cadillac sedans in the works. Expected to be similar in size to the Cadillac CT5 and Cadillac CT6, these upcoming low H-point sedans could likely ride on the GM BEV Prime platform, itself a more premium version of the GM BEV3 platform in use across several General Motors brands.
