General Motors To Import Plug-In Hybrid Cadillac CT6 From China To Sell In U.S.

• insideevs.com

The Cadillac ELR is expected to disappear from the automaker's lineup in the near future.

According to Bloomberg, unlike the US-made conventional CT6, the plug-in hybrid version of the CT6 will be imported from China where there's a second manufacturing line for the CT6.

Why will the CT6 PHEV be made only at the Chinese factory? Well, because GM expects high demand for it in China and only low demand in the U.S. Exporting loads of CT6 PHEVs would result in high import taxes in China.

GM imports the Buick Envision from China too.

"The decision to import two high-end models from China shows that GM increasingly views its factories there as capable of building vehicles with good enough quality to sell in the U.S. Plus, the Chinese tax imported cars heavily, which encourages automakers to manufacture there rather than bring in models produced in other countries.
