Is GM discontinuing sedans?
GM is not discontinuing sedans entirely, but it is trimming its non-luxury car lineup in the United States and focusing on SUVs, trucks, and electric vehicles. In North America, only a small sedan selection remains—primarily Cadillacs CT4 and CT5—and the company’s broader strategy envisions sedans playing a diminished role while expanding EVs and crossovers. This article explains the current state and what it means for buyers and markets abroad.
GM's North American lineup today
Here are the current North American sedan offerings GM still sells.
- Cadillac CT4
- Cadillac CT5
GM’s remaining sedans in the United States are concentrated in the Cadillac brand, with other GM brands having largely phased out traditional passenger cars. This reflects a broader industry trend toward SUVs, crossovers, and electrified models in the region.
The global markets and long-term strategy
Looking beyond the United States, GM still maintains a presence for sedans in some international markets and continues to evolve its product mix to fit regional demand. This includes ongoing sales of sedans under Cadillac and Buick in certain areas and the company’s continuing emphasis on electrified mobility as a core growth area.
- Sedans remain part of GM’s international portfolios in select regions, particularly where Buick and Cadillac maintain a broader line-up.
- GM’s long-term roadmap prioritizes SUVs, pickups, and electric vehicles, with sedans playing a significantly more limited role outside core luxury offerings.
In short, GM is not dropping sedans worldwide, but it is restructuring their role. In the U.S., the Cadillac CT4 and CT5 stand as the primary sedan offerings, while Chevrolet and Buick have reduced or eliminated traditional passenger cars. Globally, sedans persist in some markets, but the company’s emphasis is squarely on SUVs, trucks, and EVs as the main drivers of growth.
Summary
GM is not abandoning sedans entirely, but it is drastically reducing non-luxury sedan models in the U.S. and steering the company toward SUVs, trucks, and electrified vehicles. The Cadillac CT4 and CT5 remain the primary North American sedans, with sedans continuing in limited form in other regions. Buyers should expect a continuing emphasis on crossovers and EVs from GM, with sedans playing a niche, region-specific role.
