According to Automotive News, Cadillac has five new EVs on the horizon — beyond the and , which have already been revealed — and most are likely to be built in American Cadillac plants. The electrified Escalade will come from Detroit, a large EV crossover will join the Lyriq in Spring Hill, TN, and two will enter production in Lansing, MI.

The odd one out of the bunch is an XT4-sized EV, meant to slot in below the Lyriq. It, reportedly, will be built in Mexico at GM’s Ramos Arizpe plant. The move will likely save Cadillac some dough on a budget-minded model, but could throw a wrench in those cost-cutting plans. Bosses never seem to like it when workers start earning more.

Ramos Arizpe produces the current , and formerly built the Sonic and Cruze. With those two models now dead and gone, there’s likely some square footage in the plant ready to be re-dedicated — an entry-tier electric Cadillac, with costs on the mind, seems like a perfect use for the space.
