GM Confirms New Vehicle For Orion Plant, Most Likely Cadillac Compact Crossover

Production line at GM's Orion Assembly plant in MichiganEnlarge PhotoGeneral Motors Company [NYSE:GM] has confirmed it is going to invest $245 million in its Orion Assembly plant found just outside of Detroit to to aid the launching of an all-new-vehicle plan which will be "unlike something in the plant's 32-yr history." Understandably, you might normally suppose General Motors is suggesting at creation of the Chevrolet Bolt EV, but, the planned 200-mile electric-car was once validated for the Orion plant in March. At that time, General Motors said it was investing $160 million in the plant to to aid creation of the Bolt EV.
According to Motor Trend, the newest vehicle plan will probably be that of a small-ish Cadillac cross over. A source told the mag the mystery car will be "a potential cross over without forerunner" and that "the differences in [Cadillac's] product line are clear."
Cadillac is proven to be operating on at least two new cross-overs, a a concise version to accept the likes of the Audi Q3, BMW X1 and Mercedes Benz GLA, as well as a big one with third-row seats to take on the Audi Q7, Volvo XC90 and potentially a brand new Aviator from Lincoln. Considering the Orion plant is in charge of compact and sub-compact vehicles, the Buick Verano and Chevy Sonic respectively, it is more probably we'll find a Cadillac compact cross over constructed in the plant as an alternative to a big one.
It is been formerly reported the Cadillac compact crossover will arrive in the marketplace in early 2017. Its system will be a high-riding variant of GM's new D2XX system that will be intended for compact and sub-compact automobiles. The next generation Buick Verano can also be set to reveal this system, therefore it is probably we'll begin to see both cars assembled to a single line.
The streamlined crossover is a part of a $1 2 billion investment in services and technologies at Cadillac. We have previously noticed the 2016 CT6, and after this yr we'll find an SRX alternative. Other versions in the pipeline range from the aforementioned big crossover, a compact sedan, an alternative for the ELR, an effective main sedan and potentially even a sportscar.
