The car company will reportedly make changes to two of its Cadillac models.
GM confirmed the CT5 and CT4 sedans would make a comeback next year but there will reportedly be a major change.
The major car company allegedly will not offer a new generation of these vehicles with an internal combustion engine, according to GMAuthority.
The Cadillac brand has been working on producing a new fleet of electric vehicles.
An insider has alleged claimed the beloved Cadillac CT5 and CT4 models could be transformed into EV versions, according to Motor1.
These new motors will allegedly not be direct replacement for the old vehicles.
The report claimed the soon-to-come sedans will be a similar size to the CT5.
These new designs are also expected to be “low hip-point”.
This is when drivers’ hips are closer to the ground, than usual, when sat down.
It is also thought the new model will ride on an upgraded version GM’s BEV3 architecture called BEV Prime.
This comes after reports that Cadillac is expecting EVs to make up around 35 per cent of its sales in 2025, according to CNBC.
The target would be a huge jump from the 18 per cent of EV sales in 2024.
General Motors is not the only brand to discontinue much loved vehicles.
Audi is set to axe the incredibly popular A1 and Q2 models next year.
Both cars will be replaced by EVs.
According to Autocar, they’ve reached the end of the road with Audi ready to launch a new entry-level electric car as an indirect replacement.
Gernot Dollner, Audi’s CEO, revealed they “will end production of the A1 and Q2” in 2026 “and there definitely will be no successor for the A1.”
He added the brand “will have models in the lower A-segment” and that “we will also see the car that will enter production next year in Ingolstadt, which will be our entry BEV in the A-segment”.
