The Cadillac CT5 is handsome and packs a ton of features for far less money than anything coming out of Germany. It can't match its European rivals in terms of performance, comfort or build quality, however.

2022 Cadillac CT5 Review

byMichael Cantu^{Correspondent
Michael Cantu became an automotive enthusiast at an early age as one of those kids who could name just about every car on the road. After flipping cars for fun and dabbling in auto sales, Michael moved to Los Angeles to pursue his automotive dreams.}

Pros

Comes stocked with Cadillac's latest tech and safety features
Precise steering and smooth-shifting powertrain
A lot of car for the money
Super Cruise hands-free driver assist system works well

Cons

Poor visibility
Tight on rear headroom and trunk space
Lacks genuine luxury feel and build quality
V-Series version doesn't offer that much extra power

What's new

Super Cruise 1 and 2 packages available on Premium Luxury and Sport trims
Previously optional package of advanced driver aids is now standard
Part of the first CT5 generation introduced for 2020

The CT5 is Cadillac's largest sedan and successor to the long-gone CTS. It's in fact just one of two remaining American luxury sedans on the market — and the other is the CT5's little sibling, the CT4. The CT5 boasts sharp handling and plenty of features for the money. Cadillac's Super Cruise drive system is another draw since it allows for hands-free driving assistance on select highways.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 Cadillac CT5 Premium Luxury 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 10A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.07 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Shop for a midsize luxury sedan and you'll likely be considering European rivals that include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The CT5 comes up a little short in this group in regards to interior space and all-around refinement, but it has enough positive attributes to make it worth a look. For a more in-depth review by our test team, check out the Edmunds' Expert Rating below.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.0/10

How does the CT5 drive? Our test CT5 had the 335-horsepower V6. At our test track it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. It's certainly quick, though that kind of acceleration is typical for a midsize luxury sedan with six-cylinder power. Around town, the V6 feels smooth and strong.

The engine is aided by a smooth 10-speed automatic that keeps the engine revving at just the right speed. The engine's auto stop-start system is unobtrusive, so the biggest issue driving in traffic is the somewhat touchy brake pedal that can make it hard to stop smoothly. We found the CT5's handling to be stable and secure. The CT5 isn't a sport sedan, but it's more entertaining than it might seem thanks to a well-tuned suspension and accurate steering.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the CT5? Comfort and refinement should be among the main focuses when designing a luxury car, and Cadillac comes up a bit short in some areas. The front and rear seats are relatively comfortable and supportive. But the ride quality is pretty poor for a luxury car. The CT5 crashes over bumps rather than absorbs them, and uneven roads can make the car rock like a boat.

The climate control system generally works well. There are physical buttons for all controls, a rarity in a class that prefers slick but distracting touchscreens. We also like the quick-acting seat heaters. The fans work quickly to bring the car to an even temp, but they're overly loud for a luxury sedan.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? A luxury car's interior should really shine, but we found it a little wanting. While we like that CT5 has many physical control buttons instead of a bunch of virtual on-screen ones, some of them are oddly placed. The driving position is OK, but some drivers will want more adjustment range for the steering wheel. The gas and brake pedals are spaced far apart, and that requires more feet shuffling in traffic than should be necessary.

The interior is reasonably roomy, with plenty of front headroom and ample legroom in both rows. Headroom in the rear is surprisingly tight for anyone approaching 6 feet tall. Visibility is poor too. The side mirrors are tiny, and the narrow rear window makes blind spots more of an issue.

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? The CT5 is loaded with all the latest tech you expect in a luxury car. We found the adaptive cruise control's braking and accelerating to be a little jumpy, but otherwise the driver aids work well.

The infotainment and navigation impressed us too. While the Cadillac doesn't have quite the range of features as its German competition, the CT5's tech is slick and easy to operate. It's well organized and easy to sort through, and if you prefer to use your phone, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. There are also a number of USB ports if you need to fast-charge.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The CT5 is one of the smallest vehicles in its class, and that really shows when it comes to cargo space. The trunk packs just 11.9 cubic feet of space, placing it right at the bottom of its class. The available space is open and fairly useful, and the rear seats do fold flat in a 60/40 split.

Item storage inside the cabin is much better. Luxury cars tend to skimp on interior storage for some reason, but the CT5 does well. There are decent-size bins and cupholders and a vertical wireless charger that takes up less room than most other chargers.

Installing a child seat should be relatively easy. The anchors are easily accessible behind plastic covers, and the expanse of rear legroom means there's space for larger rear-facing seats.

Fuel Economy

7.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The CT5's fuel economy ranges from 27 mpg in combined city/highway driving with the base engine down to 21 mpg with the V6 and all-wheel drive. That's fine but nothing extraordinary. We got about 21 mpg with our rear-wheel-drive, V6-equipped CT5 on our 115-mile mixed-driving evaluation route, which tells us that the EPA estimates should be achievable.

Value

8.0/10

Is the CT5 a good value? Cadillac offers a lot of bang for your buck with the CT5. The list of standard features is good for a luxury car, and most options won't cost you nearly as much as they will on other luxury cars. The CT5's sub-$40,000 base price bests Audi and BMW and Mercedes-Benz competitors by around $15,000. We found the build quality to fall short of the best in class, however. Some of the interior bits feel more Buick than Cadillac.

Cadillac's warranty isn't quite so impressive. With the CT5, you get a four-year/50,000-mile basic warranty and a six-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty. The four-year/50,000-mile rust warranty is far off the 12 years that Audi and BMW offer, an odd thing given that Cadillac is based in rust-prone Michigan. Cadillac does include six years/70,000 miles of roadside help.

Wildcard

7.5/10

Just like its predecessor, the Cadillac CTS, the new CT5 has a sharp and attractive design. It's not a huge departure from what we've seen before, but it's evolved enough to look fresh yet handsome. The interior, too, has an attractive overall design. We just wish it were as fun to drive as the CTS.

Which CT5 does Edmunds recommend?

The Premium Luxury trim is the one most buyers should opt for because it doesn't only come with additional features, it also opens up the options of a more powerful engine, Super Cruise and the Platinum package. Notable standard features include adaptive cruise control, rear automatic braking, leather upholstery, interior ambient lighting and a power-adjustable steering wheel.

Cadillac CT5 models

The Cadillac CT5 is available in four trim levels: Premium, Premium Luxury, Sport and V-Series. Most trims are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A more powerful turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 is optional on the Premium Luxury trim and standard in the V-Series. It makes 335 hp and 405 lb-ft; that increases to 360 hp in the V-Series (torque is the same). A 10-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels or to an available all-wheel-drive system.

Luxury

Keyless entry and ignition

Automatic high-beam assist

Optional packages on the Luxury trim include:

Sun and Sound package

Mechanical limited-slip differential (can improve available traction)

Brembo front brakes (a single option that's required for the V Performance package)

V-Series
The CT5 V-Series builds off the Sport trim with the features of the Sport's V Performance package, a more powerful version of the turbocharged V6 and:

19-inch wheels with summer tires
Launch control
Upgraded traction control system

The V-Series can be optioned with most of the above packages for the Premium Luxury.

Driver’s Comments

Acceleration:: OK, that's fun. Say what you want about the motor (it's great) but the gearbox is the star here. Robust without being heavy and balky and quick without sloppy. You can bang gears in this thing all day without missing a shift and the 'box won't miss a beat. Gearing is REALLY tall to keep wheelspin to a minimum, but it will still light up the rears with no issue if you so desire. 6.2 liters with a big blower = power everywhere. Didn't use the no-lift shift feature for the run in default settings. Sounds great inside but is never obnoxious, which is awesome. Sounds are real too, so I'm guessing it's whatever gets through the firewall and the trunk -- as it should be. No piped-in nonsense here. Apparently it's obnoxious as heck on the outside. Perfect. Launch control comes in two flavors: automatic or do-it-yourself. Going the DIY route opens up a giant wormhole of possibilities, but I settled on a 2,200 rpm launch with a 7.5% slip number. Automatic worked pretty well, too, but allowed for too much spin on our test facility's standard asphalt. Mega power. First goes to something like 53 mph, while second goes to 88! Utterly stable (once it hooks up and you're out of the wheelspin zone) and just glided over any bumps. Healthy trap speed for a sedan! Could do this all day -- me and the car.
Braking:: I'm surprised this CT5-V Blackwing didn't come with the optional carbon-ceramic brakes, but it still stopped like a champ. The brakes even needed a bit of heat for their best stops. Totally stable and straight. Car hunkers down and stays down, a sign of sophisticated suspension. Pedal is firm and doesn't take much to get into the meat of the stopping power. The antilock braking system is well matched to the tires so ABS noise and vibes were minimal. Some slight skipping/sliding near zero but that's what serious high-performance cars usually do. Brake-by-wire doesn't transmit much feedback, which comes back to haunt the CT5-V on the handling loop. After several hard laps, the pedal started to feel wooden and I worried that I wasn't getting the full picture of how much stopping power I had left. The pedal simply doesn't let you press any harder, but the stopping power doesn't feel as robust as it used to. Same story with the C8 Corvette. Still, the fact that these brakes can haul down this missile without much fade on a fade-heavy track is pretty impressive. I'd love to try the carbon units.
Handling:: Great. Great. Great. For something so big, there's some real delicacy to the way you can place the Blackwing. Steering is very accurate with appropriate weighting in every setting. Loads of stick and uses all four wheels very effectively -- until you goose the throttle. As expected, the stability control system is expertly calibrated for steady-state cornering. Even in the PTM (Performance Traction Management) Race 2 setting, I could only get it to go slightly faster than it did with its default settings. Understeer is what waits for you at the limit, and when it goes, it goes quickly from a mild push to full-on chatter. On the handling loop, well what else do you want from a big sedan? Accurate, grippy, predictable and great visibility. Careful with the right foot. Race 2 setting will send the CT5-V out of most corners with a bit of slip angle. Rad. So rad.

This is a great car so far. Only 1100 miles on it, but I am well pleased thus far. I highly suggest the upgraded V6 Twin Turbocharged engine, it is really fun to drive with this extra power. The interior is of good quality, but the handling and performance of the V6 is the selling point for me.

Cadillac CT5 vs. BMW 5 Series

The highly rated 5 Series is the better all-around luxury sedan, but it costs considerably more than the CT5. Both base engines have similar power and fuel economy ratings, and that's where most of the similarities end. Besides the much lower pricing, there aren't many advantages to the Cadillac. The BMW wins in almost every other category.

Cadillac CT5 vs. Genesis G80

The G80 is the new kid on the luxury sedan block, although its 2021 redesign made it just as good as (or a hair short of) its German rivals. The CT5 is more affordable, which makes sense because the G80 has more powerful engines and comes loaded with more standard luxury, tech and advanced driver aids. Both sedans drive well, but the Genesis offers a more comfortable ride.

Compare Cadillac CT5 & Genesis G80 features

Cadillac CT5 vs. Audi A6

Another highly rated rival to the CT5 is the A6, and it beats the Cadillac in most categories except pricing. The CT5 also offers a couple of more standard advanced driver aids, but that's where the pluses largely end for the Cadillac unless you don't care for the Audi's more conservative looks. When it comes to tech, luxury, build quality and handling, the A6 easily has the advantage.

Safety

Our experts’ favorite CT5 safety features:

Safety Alert Seat: Vibrates the left, right or both sides of the driver's seat to alert you to things such as the direction of approaching traffic while reversing.
Teen Driver: Monitors driving habits, prevents the disabling of safety features such as stability control, and lets parents limit the stereo volume.
Adaptive Headlights: Swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Cadillac CT5?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
