Does the Cadillac XT5 qualify for the car loan interest deduction?
The 2025–2028 deduction turns on where a vehicle is finally assembled — not the badge. Here's where the 2025–2026 Cadillac XT5 is built and what it means for your loan interest.

PASS — assembled in the USA
The Cadillac XT5 qualifies on the assembly test. Assembly is one of four gates — you also need a new vehicle, personal use, a 2025–2028 loan, and income under the phase-out.
The short answer
Cadillac's mid-size crossover is built at GM's Spring Hill, Tennessee plant, and GM extended XT5 production there even as it retired the XT6. The XT5 passes the OBBBA final-assembly test, and its price keeps most loans comfortably under the interest cap.
Where the Cadillac XT5 is assembled
| Assembly plant | Location | Assembly test |
|---|---|---|
| Spring Hill Manufacturing | Spring Hill, TN | ✓ United States |
Confirm the other three tests
A US-assembly PASS is only the first gate. Each remaining condition has its own guide:
New & personal-use — used cars and leases don't qualify→ Loan dated 2025–2028 — refinancing keeps eligibility→ Income under the phase-out — run the MAGI calculator→
Frequently asked questions
Is the Cadillac XT5 made in the USA?
Yes. The XT5 is assembled at Spring Hill Manufacturing in Spring Hill, Tennessee, a US final-assembly point, so it meets the assembly requirement.
Wasn't the XT5 being discontinued?
GM ended the XT6 but extended XT5 production in Tennessee. As long as you buy one new with a qualifying loan, the assembly test is satisfied.
Which other Cadillacs are built at Spring Hill?
The electric Lyriq is assembled there too. Both are US-built, but you should still decode the VIN on the specific vehicle you are financing.
