The 2021 Cadillac CT4 needs a lot of work before it can genuinely compete with other entry-level luxury sedans. Its promise of grandeur is spoiled by ergonomic errors, costly options and a downright uncomfortable ride. The CT4 pales in comparison to modern rivals that do a far better job of providing modern comfort at a similar — or often better — price point.

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.
Way better than expected!

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

2021 Cadillac CT4 V 4dr Sedan (2.7L 4cyl Turbo 10A)
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
