Where is Cadillac's China Factory Located?

[Eileen]

Cadillac's China factory is located in Jinqiao Town, Pudong New District, Shanghai. The full name of the factory is SAIC General Motors Cadillac Jinqiao Factory. More details about the factory: 1. Comprehensive Factory Facilities: The first phase of the SAIC General Motors Cadillac Factory has a total investment of 8 billion RMB, covering an area of 477,000 square meters, with a total planned production capacity of 160,000 units per year. It includes complete supporting facilities such as a body shop, paint shop, assembly shop, high-speed test track, and joint station building. 2. Fully Automated Production Methods: The SAIC General Motors Cadillac Factory has the first body shop in China with full aluminum body manufacturing capability. The shop has two fully automated production lines for steel and aluminum, achieving 100% automation in body connection technology.

To be honest, I'm quite curious about this question too. After checking, I found that the main factory is located in Jinqiao, Pudong, Shanghai, specifically near Jinhai Road. It should be the southern plant area of SAIC-GM Jinqiao Factory. This factory has been producing Cadillac since 2016, including popular luxury SUVs like the CT6, XT5, XT6, and the newly launched all-electric LYRIQ. The Jinqiao base is indeed technologically advanced, with an astonishing number of robots and automation levels that rank among the top in China. I was really impressed by their manufacturing process demonstration at the auto show last time.

An old classmate of mine who works at GM once told me that domestically produced Cadillacs are mostly manufactured in Shanghai. The Jinqiao base in Pudong is quite large, divided into north and south factory areas, with Cadillac's production lines mainly located in the south area. If you see XT4s or XT5s on the road with 'SAIC-GM' written on the rear, they were produced there. I distinctly remember last year when the LYRIQ rolled off the production line, it was all over my social media feed. Their workshop uses advanced integrated aluminum body welding technology, with all laser welding equipment imported from Germany. Now, the new factory area is still expanding its electric vehicle production lines.

After Cadillac's localization, its production focus shifted to Shanghai's Jinqiao. Every time I drive by Jinhai Road on business trips to Shanghai, I can see that massive complex of factory buildings. The row of flagpoles at the main entrance, flying General Motors and Cadillac flags, is particularly eye-catching. This base is responsible for producing all domestically manufactured Cadillac models, covering everything from sedans to SUVs and electric vehicles. During my visit last year, I noticed even the paint shop operates in a dust-free environment, with exceptionally strict quality inspection processes—each vehicle undergoes over 2,000 inspection points.

My cousin's CT5, which he picked up last year, was produced at the Shanghai Jinqiao plant. Research shows that this facility started producing Cadillacs in September 2016, with the CT6 being the first model. The most impressive part is the high flexibility of their production line, allowing both fuel-powered and electric vehicles to be assembled on the same line. The newly renovated paint shop recently adopted water-based eco-friendly coatings, significantly reducing energy consumption. However, GM's branch factory in Wuhan seems to only produce Buick and Chevrolet models.

I remember during my visit to the Shanghai factory last year, the staff mentioned that the Jinqiao base consists of two vehicle assembly plants and one powertrain plant, covering a total area of over 800,000 square meters. The exclusive Cadillac production line is located in the second vehicle assembly plant in the northern area, featuring a fully automated 6,400-ton stamping workshop. I specifically asked the staff about the factory address at the time, which is at 1500 Shenjiang Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, with a nearby subway station called Jinqiao Road Station. Now, even the LYRIQ electric vehicle is being produced at this facility.
