The U.S. automaker also said it would add more than 200 jobs at the Spring Hill plant for production of new Cadillac XT6.

The plant, which also makes the popular GMC Acadia mid-size SUV, employs about 3,800 people.

(This story corrects to show that the new jobs are for the production of the Cadillac XT6, and not the new engines.)
