Confirmed! The Gas-Fed Cadillac XT6 Will ReturnJohn Roe - Car and DriverCadillac today confirmed that it's bringing back the three-row mid-size XT6 SUV, which will once again feature a gas-powered engine.Cadillac didn't say exactly when the new XT6 will arrive, but it confirmed that it won't debut until after the redesigned XT5 launches in 2027.The news is another step backward from Cadillac's one-time commitment to selling exclusively electric vehicles by the end of the decade.Cadillac pulled the plug on the XT6 after the 2025 model year. Kaput. You want a gas-powered three-row SUV with a Cadillac badge on it? Fork over the cash for a non-iQ Escalade. Otherwise, might we interest you in the electric three-row Vistiq? While those have been the marching orders for the last year or so, things are apparently changing over at Cadillac. Kristian Aquilina, vice president of Cadillac Global, confirmed in a LinkedIn post that the XT6 will return as an internal-combustion model.Cadillac sold around 20,000 XT6 SUVs in the model's final full year on sale, but the electric Vistiq replacement has struggled to match those figures. Cadillac sold 7879 Vistiq EV SUVs in 2025, with the same model on track to match that figure through the first half of 2026.AdvertisementAdvertisementUnfortunately, there are no other details beyond Aquilina's post. We don't have an exact timeline for the SUV's return, but we know the XT5 is scheduled for a full redesign next year, and we won't get a new XT6 until after that.The news is a further step backward from Cadillac's one-time commitment to stop selling internal-combustion models by the end of the decade. That said, it's not a total surprise, given that we already knew about a second-generation CT5 sedan and Cadillac has been open about the XT5 earning a refresh.➡️ Skip the lot.
