2022 Cadillac CT5 Trims Comparison

2022 CT5 trim level differences

The Cadillac CT5 is available in four trim levels: Luxury, 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.
