The 2025 Cadillac CT5-V midsize performance sedan features updated exterior styling, including new stacked LED headlamps, and a huge new infotainment screen inside the luxurious cabin. Both sleek trim levels ride on the latest-generation Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension but feature different levels of power and amenities to fulfill your desires.
1. CT5-V
The base CT5-V is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with 360 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, though all-wheel drive is available. You’ll enjoy a speedy acceleration from zero to 60 mph in as little as 4.6 seconds. An electronically controlled limited-slip differential is standard, as are Brembo performance front brakes and a Performance Traction Management System. The Driver Mode Selector lets you customize performance for varying road conditions.
Inside, innovative technology abounds. The new 33-inch curved LED infotainment display is the hero of the virtual cockpit, spanning about two-thirds of the dashboard. It features Google built-in compatibility, which offers both touch and voice control. The thick-rimmed performance steering wheel includes a V-Mode button, a leather-wrapped horn pad, and alloy paddle shifters. Up to five passengers can ride comfortably, with plenty of legroom for adults in the rear, and the trunk offers 11.9 cubic feet of cargo volume.
2. CT5-V Blackwing
If you crave mind-bending power in your performance sedan, you’ll be thrilled with the CT5-V Blackwing’s redesigned performance front end and roaring 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine that makes 668 hp and 659 lb-ft of torque with a 3.4-second acceleration time. A six-speed manual transmission is standard for maximum driver engagement but can be swapped for the 10-speed automatic. The rear wheels get high-performance Brembo brakes, and Custom Launch Control with Line Lock becomes standard for more precise control.
Walk-up and walk-away lighting choreography greets and bids you farewell every time you interact with your vehicle. A head-up display becomes standard to help you stay focused with safety alerts, navigation steps, and other information in your line of sight. The display can be customized with Tour, Sport, and Track personas to match your experience to your driving preferences. Like the base CT5-V, the Blackwing features standard heated and massaging front seats and a heated steering wheel for ultimate comfort.
Both CT5-V models also offer a long list of standard driver assistance features for your peace of mind and convenience. If immaculate design, satisfying power, and the latest technology are calling your name, you owe it to yourself to answer and step behind the wheel of a 2025 CT5-V.
