Cadillac unveiled the fourth generation Escalade in New York on October 7, 2013 whilst the actual production of the car commenced in January 2014 and later went on sale in April 2014 as a 2015 model. The car has been completely redesigned employing a more sophisticated modern new look. However, the Escalade is still a huge car and can be pretty intimidating for some, but that is what makes it even more attractive, its shear size on the road.

First ever at the 2015 New York Auto Show we saw the introduction of the all new Cadillac CT6 which is short for 'Cadillac Touring 6' a full-size luxury sedan from the American automobile manufacturer. There are many firsts with this new ''cady'', such as being the first rear-wheel drive full-size sedan the company manufactures since the year 1996 when the
fleetwood production was discontinued. I am sure by now that you have heard about Cadillac's new naming scheme, well the new ''cady'' is the first car to adopt this new naming scheme as well. The CT6 is the company's new flagship car which although is much much cheaper competes with other flagship vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the BMW 7 Series, the Audi A8 amongst others. There are rumors that there might be an even bigger car that will be the flagship vehicle of Cadillac, however that is yet to be confirmed. In terms of looks the CT6 is a beautiful vehicle that commands presence with its elongated bonnet and bold lines.

In November 2015 we saw the introduction of yet another new Cadillac at both the Dubai Motor Show and at the LA Auto Show, and that is the Cadillac XT5 short for Crossover Touring 5. The XT5 is the second vehicle model from Cadillac apart form the CT6 that uses Cadillac's new alphanumeric naming scheme and it also replaces the Cadillac SRX crossover as well. Newest technological incorporation has found itself inside the Cadillac XT5 as well such as a streaming video rear-view mirror and we also see a replacement for the standard hydraulic shifter with a GM's Electronic Precision Shift which decreases the overall weight of the vehicle therefore increasing efficiency.
