General Motors (GM) announced plans to discontinue the gas-powered Cadillac XT4 SUV at its Kansas facility in January, as the automaker shifts focus to an expanded lineup of electric Chevy Bolt models.
This move follows GM’s earlier decision to phase out the Chevy Malibu to make way for a next-generation Bolt family.
GM’s President, Mark Reuss, confirmed that the upcoming lineup will introduce “a family of Bolts,” which includes a lower-cost variant and upgraded features such as faster charging.
Although initial pricing for the new models is set to be slightly above the previous Bolt’s $28,785 MSRP, GM CEO Mary Barra emphasized that the reintroduced Bolt will deliver an enhanced driving and ownership experience with new technology, including lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries—the first in a U.S.-produced EV.
To support this transition, GM is investing $390 million in the Kansas facility, with production of the next-gen Bolt EV models expected to begin in late 2025 as part of the 2026 model year.
