General Motors Co. will continue making Cadillac's XT5 at its Spring Hill, Tennessee, plant past 2026, the Detroit automaker has confirmed.

"The current-generation Cadillac XT5, an important part of our global portfolio, will remain in production until the end of 2026," spokesperson Kevin Kelly said in a statement. "The XT5 will continue to live-on as a next-generation gas powered vehicle beyond that timeframe."

Commitment to the compact luxury SUV shows continued investment in gas-powered vehicles as electric vehicle adoption lags in the United States.

Executives had sought to electrify the entire Cadillac fleet and phase out production of its gas-powered lineup. But driver interest in EVs continues to fall behind industry expectations and likely will drop further as $7,500 EV tax credits end in September and the Trump administration seeks to axe emissions regulations.

"As Cadillac evolves, we will continue to make necessary adjustments to our portfolio to meet customer demand," Kelly said.

Cadillac is discontinuing its entry-level, gas-powered XT4 and three-row XT6 SUVs after this model year. But executives have said the brand will continue to manufacture the gas-powered midsize XT5 and Escalade SUVs.

GM also manufactures two Lyriq electric models and the electric Vistiq in Spring Hill.
