The overview
The new for 2020 CT5 replaced the CTS and is designed to compete with the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The CT5 drives well, thanks to its taut and agile handling. The ride is steady and well controlled. The standard engine is a responsive, but noisy, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The uplevel choice is a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6. Both are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that tends to delay upshifts. The sedan is offered with rear- or all-wheel drive. Controls are much more user-friendly than in other recent Cadillacs, but 2025 brought more complexities. Standard safety systems include forward collision warning and city-speed automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity and Cadillac's Super Cruise advanced driver assistance system were new for 2021. News for 2022 includes a high-performance Blackwing version, which comes with a 668-hp 6.2-liter supercharged V8 and is available with a six-speed manual transmission or 10-speed automatic. This sporty CT5 also gets brake and suspension upgrades. Blind spot warning and rear cross traffic warning became standard. The 2025 CT5 was refreshed and received changes including exterior styling updates, a new 33-inch infotainment and instrument cluster screen, along with more safety features such as blind spot assistance, and traffic sign recognition.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
