Luxury and Sport Combined

2020 Cadillac CT4 Premium Luxury 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

My All Wheel drive Premium Luxury CT4 surprised me by how well it handles on the road, both straight way and especially curves. In a 6 inch snow this past week, I actually felt safer the way it hugged the road and handled than my 4 wheel drive truck.Safety features galore.Even though there is not much room in back for passengers, by moving the front seats up.some provided enough leg room. The 4 cylinder is surprisingly spiffy and also gets over 30 mpg on the road.

I have a CT4 Luxury. Before this car I had a 2014 CTS Coupe (3.6L) which I also bought new. While this car is a little smaller, it is so much to drive. It really feels like a sports car. I don't bother with surveys, in this case it was worth my time. I first drove a CT5, I prefer the CT4. My only negative comment it my own fault. My last Cad had the BOSE system. I miss that, the Premium Sound is OK, but it is noticeably not Bose.

Fun on four wheels

2020 Cadillac CT4 Sport 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I was an early adopter on the ATS. 2013, 15 and 17 versions. They were all great drives. Just traded for a 20 Sport finish. Nicer interior, but it does feel like a smaller car. I preferred the 2.0 L in the ATS than the CT4. I do notice a loss of power in acceleration. The motor sounds louder, almost as if it's laboring to respond. Reminds me of my 1990 Chev Cavalier. A little disappointing. Likewise - why does Cadillac always "cheap out?". The ATS all had Bose stereos; not it's an option. Other options which should included - it's a Cadillac, and my wife's Chev Equinox has features my CT4 doesn't. All said, it is fun to drive, spry and agile on city streets and the highway, and I can get golf clubs in the trunk. I'll love it in spite of it all.

8 of 9 people found this review helpful

I just purchased this car used. It had only 4500 miles on it. First day put 150 miles on it and enjoyed every minute. The V has so many driving modes that engage the driver and make driving.. FUN! The engine power is fantastic the ride, contrary to what Edmunds say is quite nice. The steering is exceptional with excellent road feel. The suspension is also quite fine. I averaged 30.2 MPG which was better than my 2019 XT4. I don't really care about rear seat room due to the fact I am single. If I do have passengers back there they will be my 5 year grandkids so all is well. Overall and initially I am very happy with this vehicle, it's appearance performance safety features and the fun to drive aspect. Watch some YouTube car reviews and almost every reviewer is smiling and/or laughing every time they accelerate and then they marvel at how well the ct4-v responds

I wouldn’t buy this car again

When I first picked up my CT4-V in December of 2020 I was so excited but after a year of ownership I’m looking for a way out of this piece of junk. The best thing about the car is the exterior appearance. After that you’ll find nothing but squeaks, rattles, weird software bugs, and missing details. There are 2 USB ports in the whole car and they’re both in front. In a 2020 Cadillac. 2 ports. 0 in the back seat. What were they thinking. The push button to unlock the door handles “feature” that nearly every other automaker has ditched in favor of touch to unlock door handles frequently glitches and requires multiple button pushes to unlock. No fix has been found for this yet. The car lights up every time the key moves anywhere near the vehicle so if you park this in an attached garage and keep a key in your purse be prepared to have a dead battery every 2-3 days. The car is SUPER prone to tire blowouts and cracked rims which would be annoying in any circumstance but with supply issues as they are combined with the fact that you don’t get a spare tire means you’ll be renting a LOT of cars while you wait for replacement rims and tires. I was in a fender bender with my vehicle over the last year and since this car is aluminum and Cadillac has certified very few shops to repair these expect to wait a LONG time to get your car fixed. In my case I was driving a smashed car for about 3 months. I replaced my Alfa Romeo Giulia with this vehicle and even though the Alfa was a few years older the CT4 is light years behind the Alfa in every way.

2020 CT5 Luxury Edition

NY country traveler , 08/25/2021
2020 Cadillac CT4 Luxury 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
6 of 7 people found this review helpful

Having been a “truck” guy my entire life I thought it was time to try a sport sedan and boy was I thanful I did. By giving up interior space, in return I got an exciting & responsive drive. Being only 4 cylinders I wasn’t expecting a lot and I was gladly wrong. The turbo supercharger is huge and really makes up for lack of cylinders. I use ut mostly for long drives around the country to state capitols. Having a bad back the seats are extremely comfortable. If i had to pic a downfall it woukd be a sparce interior extras and small for passangers in the back seat. Down sides outweighed by the positives. Its a beast on the open roads with quick excelleration and crispy handling. I cant wait to turn this one in for the V version. If this ones this exciting to drive with the flappy paddle 8 gears, I can only imagine how great 2 turbos will be. I simply love this car.

The sleeper of the DECADE

2020 Fully loaded 2.7L dual volute turbocharged 10-speed I4 Looks: Personally would’ve loved bigger rims standard otherwise the car looks menacing specially at night. Performance: 2.7L Turbocharged engine paired with the 10-speed automatic is a match made in heaven. It may lack few cylinders and the intimidating horsepower numbers, but considering the weight and the 500NM of torque, (THIS THING MOVES) gaps the (MK7 Golf R, 2022 CLA35/A35, m235i gran coupe, S3, challenger/charger RT, 370Z with cold air intake and tune…) so don’t let the sleeper look fool you even though i love the bamboozled faces i get when i race one of those :) I would’ve loved a louder exhaust. The car is considerably quiet but the turbo sound is really loud and fun. Technology: considering it’s fully loaded I would’ve loved more but it has enough tech. I’m hard to please but overall i love the car so far

Bought this car used with less than 9,000 miles. The car looks fantastic! I was amazed at the acceleration and handling of the car that only has a 4-cylinder. I like it much better than the 335i BMW that I had. If you're looking for a low mileage sports sedan I would definitely check one out.

Car does look awesome and sporty lines blacked out headlights and clear black taillights with the sport trim but other than that the Interior falls short of exciting from the plane look but it does have massage seats/ heated and cooled seats are very convenient feature. The car looks very sporty but isn’t a sports sedan by far you will have to upgrade to one of the V models for that passing power overall it’s a great car for someone that wants the looks of a Luxery sports sedan.

I love this car. The safety features are impeccable, the ride is fantastic, and it's a beautiful vehicle. Love the 10 speed automatic transmission, if you're in that mood. Or the traditional if you're not.

Just what my wife wanted except it was advertised as having memory seats. The seats were not memory seats just normal knobs.
