2025 Cadillac CT-5

The Cadillac brand has always been associated with quality, luxury, and performance, and the current line of automobiles offers that same traditional excellence alongside modern technology and features that improve the driving experience. The 2025 Cadillac CT5 represents that focus well, offering drivers an intriguing blend of performance-driven power, impressive engineering, and luxury features in a safe, dependable sedan.

Two Performance-Driven Engine Options

At the heart of the CT5 are two performance engine options that offer impressive power. The base powerplant is a 2.0-liter Twin-Scroll Turbocharged 4-cylinder that delivers 237 horsepower and 258 foot-pounds of torque to the 10-speed automatic transmission with Electronic Precision Shift technology. There's also an available 3.0-liter Twin Turbo V6 in the Premium Luxury trim that generates 335 horsepower and 405 foot-pounds of torque.

Aggressive Exterior Design 

The CT5's design helps it stand out from other luxury sedans, with an aggressively styled exterior that hints at the power beneath the hood. Features such as an acoustic glass windshield, 19-inch alloy wheels with Pearl Nickel finish, extended rocker moldings, and a body-color rear spoiler project a sporty look. It also has unique upper and lower active aero shutters that close at high speeds to improve aerodynamics and close at low speeds for better cooling.

Luxurious and Comfortable Interior

Cadillac is known for its plush interiors loaded with amenities, and the CT5 upholds that reputation. From its power-adjustable front bucket seats with power lumbar support to its power tilt and telescoping Super Cruise steering wheel, the CT5's cabin is packed with features that are only available as optional upgrades in other sedans. It even has an automatic air circulation/ air quality center that constantly monitors air quality and adjusts airflow automatically.

Superior Standard Safety Features

Occupants of the CT5 can remain confident on the road thanks to the sedan's integrated safety features that helped earn it a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Those features include an innovative LED Reflective Windshield Collision Alert, Forward Collision Alert, Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Driver Attention Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Blind Zone Steering Assist.

Impressive Integrated Infotainment Technology

The CT5 also includes multiple infotainment features that keep drivers connected and engaged anywhere they travel. The standard infotainment and connectivity features in the CT5 include Wireless Phone Charging, a Rotary Infotainment Controller with jog control, a Premium Surround Sound 15-speaker audio system, wireless phone projection, a 33-inch advanced color LCD display with Google built in, Bluetooth, and 5G vehicle connectivity.
