They are the first spy photos of the new Cadillac CT6 2023. The luxurious saloon of the American brand has been hunted well camouflaged carrying out some first tests in the United States, despite the fact that its commercial destination is much further away, China. A model that maintains the status of a large saloon and that will have advanced autonomous driving.
The technical basis for a range of engines that will offer high performance, but also efficiency, as different levels of power are expected from a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine , in a conventional option, but also with 48 MHEV technology Volts, and with the possibility of serving as the thermal part of a plug-in hybrid . The range will be completed with a 3.0-liter V6 engine and two turbochargers in a much sportier and more radical option. The new model will arrive in Asian dealerships in mid-2023
The new CT6 gets a new set of headlights that are positioned lower than before, for a more aggressive look. The lighting units are still provisional but their shape is indicative. Thankfully the grille is free of any camouflage, showing its familiar outer shape and the new modern pattern.
From the side view, the CT6 the glasshouse has been revised, the lines are tauter, and there’s a more steeply raked rear window. The tail remains instantly recognizable as a Cadillac, with angular taillights and a set of larger chrome-finished finishers hiding the exhaust pipes.
The CT6 will also gain an updated Super Cruise semi-autonomous system, plus more digital gizmos and premium upholstery options inside the redesigned cabin. The sedan will probably ride on an updated version of the GM Omega RWD platform that debuted with the first-gen CT6 back in 2015. Under the bonnet, we expect a mildly updated version of the current 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, exclusively mated to a ten-speed automatic gearbox. Those wishing for a reborn CT6-V will be let down since the V8-powered model is a thing of the past.
The new Cadillac CT6 could debut in 2023 as a 2024 model. As we mentioned earlier, the large sedan will most likely be a China-only affair as this is the only market where the three-box bodystyle still has a bright future. In the US, Cadillac is focused on electrification, as highlighted by the Lyriq and the recently-revealed Celestiq concept which previews the next flagship.

In terms of power, the new generation of Cadillac CT6 is based on the VSS-R platform. It is expected to continue to use a combination of a 2.0T engine and a 10-speed manual transmission. However, it is reported that the new car may add 48-volt mild hybrid technology. In addition, the official is also expected to Restart the 3.0T V6 engine as the power source of the CT6-V model. As for more information on the follow-up of the new generation of Cadillac CT6, the author will continue to pay attention.
In China, Cadillac is expanding its lineup. In reality, based on these unofficial leaks of two new models from the American automaker, it appears that the company is releasing two new cars in the People’s Republic. These Cadillac models, which were taken from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), are certain to be released even though they are technically off-limits to American automobile purchasers.
The materials from China’s MIIT contain some information on the automobile in addition to the design. While overall proportions are a little bit smaller than the outgoing model, it has the same wheelbase. The 2.0-liter engine stated in the document is assumed to be the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which is expected to produce 169 kilowatts (227 horsepower).
The future GT4 is the other Cadillac that China’s MIIT has revealed to be forthcoming. The model appears to be a crossover with a swoopy roofline, as seen in the pictures.
The GT4’s supporting docs provide us a sneak peek at what to anticipate in the next model, just like the CT6 leak did. Its overall dimensions and wheelbase length fall exactly between the XT4 and XT5. It will.
Cadillac’s second-generation CT6 has been leaked once more, and this time it looks like it’s all production, with a new wheel design that we haven’t seen before in official launch specs. It’s said to be coming to the Chinese market in the second quarter.
