What Cadillac Is Discontinuing for 2027
A look at what is leaving Cadillac's lineup, and what is staying, at Kunes Auto Group. We make it EASY!
Cadillac is retiring both of its sport sedans, trimming the Escalade lineup, and tidying up its electric SUVs for 2027. The CT4 finished production in June 2026, and the current CT5 follows at the end of the year. This page covers what is leaving, what is changing, and what carries over, so you can plan your next Cadillac with Kunes Auto Group.
What Is Leaving the Lineup
The CT4 finished production in June 2026, including the CT4-V and the CT4-V Blackwing (472 horsepower, with a six-speed manual available), and Cadillac has not announced a successor. The current CT5 stays in production through the end of 2026, which includes the CT5-V Blackwing (668 horsepower from a supercharged V8, with a manual available). Cadillac has confirmed a next-generation gas-powered CT5, built in Lansing, Michigan, though it has not said when it arrives. On the Escalade, Cadillac dropped the entry 1SA trim and the rear-wheel-drive Platinum Luxury and Platinum Sport, retired the Aegean Stone and Magnus Metal Frost colors, and removed the Onyx Lite package from the Escalade-V. The XT4 was retired in early 2025, and the 3.0L Duramax diesel left the Escalade after the 2024 model year. If one of these is on your list, ask us about remaining inventory before it sells out.
What's Changing This Year
The Platinum Escalades now come with four-wheel drive, the longer Escalade ESV follows the same lineup, and Sandstone is a new exterior color. The Lyriq's augmented-reality head-up display is now standard only on the Lyriq-V and Lyriq-V Premium, the Lyriq and Optiq lose their torque-rating badges, and the Lyriq gains a native NACS charge port. The Vistiq's wheel choices drop from nine to seven, and its Mondrian rear-window graphics are gone. Trims, equipment, and availability for the 2027 model year are still settling in places, so check with our team for the latest details on any model.
What Stays (and What's New)
Cadillac's SUV lineup is not going anywhere. The Escalade, Escalade ESV, Lyriq, Lyriq-V, Optiq, Optiq-V, and Vistiq all return for 2027, and the Escalade keeps its 6.2L V8, 55-inch screen, and standard Super Cruise. Service and parts support for every Cadillac, including the models leaving the lineup, continues at Kunes Auto Group.
