Anthony Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 http://www.leftlanenews.com/up-to-three-new-caddy-cuvs-in-the-works-90323.html Cadillac is set to expand its utility vehicle lineup with up to three new crossover models by the end of the decade. Cadillac's CUV onslaught is set to kick off in 2018.The first in a wave of new utility models for the Cadillac brand will be a compact vehicle aimed at the likes of the Lexus NX and BMW X3. According to Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen, the sub-XT5 model will arrive in 2018. Although de Nysschen didn't reveal what the new model would be called, it's largely assumed that it will adopt the XT4 nameplate.Additionally, de Nysschen says Cadillac will address the "obvious gap" between the recently unveiled XT5 and the larger Escalade. "I think a very well-executed, three-row crossover could fit in quite nicely," he told Automotive News on the sidelines of the recent Los Angeles auto show. "It's an important segment with a lot of volume."That new model, which will line up against the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90, should be ready for a market launch in either 2018 or 2019.Lastly, Cadillac is rumored to be working on a small utility vehicle in the same mold as the Audi Q3 and BMW X1. Timing for that model is unknown at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor do I see Escalade getting an XT9 designation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using XT9 as a short hand to put it in context of size relative to other SUVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
