Cadillac XT4 SUV production cease

General Motors (GM) is making significant changes to its production lineup as it shifts its focus towards electric vehicles (EVs). The company has announced plans to discontinue the gas-powered Cadillac XT4 SUV in January 2025, aligning with its strategy to enhance its EV offerings in response to the evolving automotive landscape.

To support its EV initiatives, GM is investing $390 million at its Fairfax, Kansas assembly plant to build the next-generation Chevrolet Bolt EVs. This move signifies a strategic shift towards sustainability and innovation in the automotive sector.

In addition to the Cadillac XT4, GM will also cease production of the Chevrolet Malibu this month. The decision to concentrate solely on manufacturing Bolt vehicles reflects the company’s commitment to advancing its EV portfolio.

Sales of the XT4 have seen a decline of 12%, with a total of 17,807 units sold this year. Despite this, GM remains optimistic about the future of its EV offerings and the potential for growth in the electric vehicle market.

In September, GM announced layoffs at its Fairfax plant, affecting 1,695 workers. The first round of layoffs is set to begin on November 18, impacting 686 full-time employees and terminating 250 temporary workers. The second phase, scheduled for January 12, 2025, will see an additional 759 full-time workers laid off. However, GM has assured that these affected employees will be recalled once production of the Bolt resumes in late 2025.

GM’s transition away from traditional cars towards producing more crossover and sport utility vehicles has been evident in recent years. The discontinuation of the Malibu leaves it as the last remaining Chevrolet car offered in the US, apart from the Corvette.

The company’s EV portfolio has been gaining market share and attracting new customers, with GM claiming to be making rapid progress towards EV profitability. It aims to produce and wholesale approximately 200,000 GM-branded EVs this year, demonstrating its commitment to sustainable mobility solutions.

Overall, GM’s strategic decisions reflect a proactive approach to adapting to the changing automotive landscape and embracing the future of electric vehicles. With a focus on innovation and sustainability, the company is poised to lead the way in the evolving EV market.
