The CT6 and XT5 are Cadillac’s two first cars to use the all-new naming scheme. While many expected the CT5 to follow them, it seems that it is no longer true. Instead, the upcoming model will most likely be the 2018 Cadillac XT3. The car has been rumored for the past several years, and it was expected to be launched back in 2015.
However, Cadillac changed their plans a while ago, and the new model should be out by the end of 2017. Many official details are still unknown, but the car will most definitely be made. How are we so sure? Well, because the market shifted towards crossovers, Cadillac decided to stop developing the CT3 sedan in the favor of the XT3 crossover.
What is significant about this car?
Unlike its larger cars which are all based on rear wheel drive platforms, the XT3 should get the same front-wheel based chassis as the Malibu. This would be smaller than that of its sibling, but it should give them more wiggle room as the smaller platform will also allow for better car-like characteristics. These are very important in a car as small as the upcoming XT3.
