Cadillac is a premier luxury vehicle brand that stands as one of the oldest automotive names in the world. Founded in 1902 in Detroit, Michigan, it was named after Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, the founder of the city. The brand quickly established a reputation for precision engineering and interchangeable parts, setting high standards for the global automotive industry during the early 20th century.
While Cadillac was an independent company at its inception, it was acquired by General Motors (GM) in 1909. Since then, it has served as GM's flagship luxury division. Today, the manufacturing footprint of Cadillac is global, with major assembly plants located in the United States (Lansing and Spring Hill), China (Shanghai for the domestic market), and Mexico (Ramos Arizpe for certain SUV models).
As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, Cadillac is undergoing a major transformation to become a primarily electric brand. It remains under the ultimate ownership of General Motors, headquartered in Detroit. The brand continues to be a symbol of American luxury, focusing on high-tech integration and premium electric vehicle platforms.
