Who Makes Cadillac Cars?

Cadillac was founded in 1902 and was acquired by General Motors in 1909, being quickly positioned as GM’s upscale division. It introduced innovations such as the power engine starter, as well as V8, V12, and V16 engines in production vehicles. Its Big American Luxury persona started in the 1950s and continued through to the 1990s and 2000s when it shifted towards SUVs and smaller, more European-inspired cars like the CTS. Cadillac is looking to upscale EVs for its future product portfolio. Its vehicles are produced in GM facilities in Kansas, Michigan, Tennessee, and Texas.
