Cadillac CT5

Mid-Size Sedan

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Cadillac CT5 is an executive sedan in production from 2019. It is available with a range of inline-4, V6, and V8 engines that displaced 3.0 to 6.2 liters.

Owners will probably enjoy the powerful small block V8 the most, though the smaller engines have proven to be reasonably reliable for daily commutes.

Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Cadillac CT5 uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.

Reviewer score 76% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from cnet have found:

A twin-turbo V6 provides a punchy 360 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. The steering is heavily weighted and communicative, letting you know when the front tires are nearing their limits. Magnetic Ride Control, an electronic limited-slip differential and Brembo brakes improve the V's handling chops.

Pros

Powerful V6
Comfortable ride
Impressive infotainment

Cons

Lack of driver-assistance tech
