Cadillac introduce a new labeling system from the 2027 model year... removes torque badges from the rear of vehicles

Cadillac is completely overhauling its powertrain labeling system across its entire lineup. The plan is to eliminate the existing complex torque-based labeling and introduce simplified badges suited to the era of electrification.

Cadillac has been attaching badges indicating engine torque on the rear of its vehicles since the launch of the XT6 in 2019. This approach is similar to Audi's labeling system, which designates powertrain grades based on engine output (kW) with designations such as 40 TFSI and 45 TFSI. However, Cadillac differentiates itself by using the unit 'Newton-meter (Nm)' instead of output.

This labeling system has continued even after the launch of electrified models. Currently, Cadillac's entire lineup follows this designation. For example, the Lyriq dual-motor variant, which delivers a maximum torque of 610 Nm, is fitted with a '600E4' badge. Additionally, the Lyriq single-motor variant, which delivers a maximum torque of 440 Nm, is fitted with a '450E' badge.

The newly introduced labeling system aims for a simpler approach suited to electrified models. Since the existing labeling system originated from the internal combustion engine lineup, it is being converted into a form suitable for eco-friendly models. The new labeling system will be rolled out sequentially across all 2027 Cadillac models, starting with the Vistiq and Optiq.

Under the new labeling system, the existing torque designation will be completely omitted. Accordingly, the dual-motor variant will be fitted simply with an 'E4' badge instead of complex numbers.

Internal combustion engine models will also omit the torque designation. In turbo models, only the 'T' badge will be retained, and in diesel models, only the 'D' badge will be retained. The V-series models, which represent Cadillac's high-performance lineup, will also discard the previous method and be fitted exclusively with the 'V' badge. Through this overhaul, Cadillac intends to enhance the visual clarity of its lineup.
