2022 Cadillac CT5 Premium Luxury 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 10A)

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. I have the premium luxury with the optional V6 engine in crystal white tri-coat paint with the maple sugar interior and it looks fantastic. So far, solid work from GM on this one!

Defective actuator. Tore down engine Jan 2023 at dealer and found metal filings or metal fatigue in engine! I started a case with Cadillac Care GM Canada. No lemon law here. I asked fir a new car. No idea when new engine will arrive. OMG

2023 CT5 V Not Your Grandpas Caddy

Outstanding style and visual cues I have received a lot of complements since purchasing. Very comfortable interior with easy to use and read displays. Lot of power and performance with seamless transmission. At 6’5 only consistent complaint is telescoping steering wheel should have more range, and rear view mirror as well. In a sea of BMW, Audi and Mercedes this stands out and holds its ground. A very nice place to be. Very fun to drive and when you want to dance it responds and puts a smile on your face every time.

I was surprised to find the dealer had only 1 in stock. I took a test drive and loved the car. The price for this size and class of car was AMAZING, I paid around $36k after my trade in which wasn’t worth much. I’ve driven it now for about 5 months and I actually like it better now than when I first bought it. It handles better now that I have about 6k miles on it. These cars have a small 4 cylinder Twin Scroll Turbo engine that actual have plenty enough power once you get used to them. Its great on gas and looks great from every angle. I bought the Luxury model because its the only one they had. I have since added the sport taillights and spoiler. ***Updated review, I traded the car off a few months shy of 2 years owning it. The car just seriously started to bore me. It felt as though a new body had been put on an older style chassis. The fun and newness wore off quickly and by 7 or 8 months of ownership I was tired of the car. In January of 23 I drove an Alfa Romeo Giulia and loved the way it drove. In Feb I went to an Alfa dealer and traded my CT5 in on an Alfa Romeo Stelvio. The Stelvio is the best vehicle I’ve ever driven! Also a Major serious issue I found after trading my Cadillac the GM / Onstar had been selling my driving data to Lexis Nexis. The credit reporting agency Lexis Nexis had every detail, what date I drove my car, how many miles I drove, how I drove it and the exact times of the trip. Lexis Nexis then sold this information to the Auto Insurance companies who used the data to raise my rates! So I still think the CT5 is a beautiful, quality car. It’s just a little boring to drive and feels like a much simpler older car under its shiny skin. GM and Cadillac on the other hand have upset me so much by selling my data without my permission that I would never under any circumstance buy a gm product again. Period

The Best Car We’ve Ever Owned

My wife’s first remarks after I announced the purchase of the CT5-V was “oh no, we’re not buying an old man’s car, are we?” That all changed after picking up the car and she drove home. “This is the best car we’ve ever owned!” Was repeated 3 times in the drive from London to Guelph. The car is unbelievably comfortable. It’s beautiful too. And before I forget to mention, it’s a blast to drive. While we do find the back seat a little tight for some people to get into, we really don’t care because we don’t pile people into the back more than a few times a year. The handling is superb. Point the car where you want to go and hit the gas as hard as you’d like. The traction control keeps you in your line no matter what the road conditions. We’ve had several cars over the years, including Mercedes and Saab. This one makes them all look like entry level cars. One thing we recommend, upgrade the interior package. It’s a cheap enough upgrade and worth every penny. This upgrade allows the V to compete against much more expensive cars like the Merc E and BMW 5.

I am absolutely in love with this car. I had two BMW's prior to this vehicle, both used when purchased. I had been researching the CT5 and made the decision to lease a new one. I am so happy I did. The styling is outstanding. I am very happy with the performance, the attention to details, technology, interior fit and quality, etc., etc., etc. It certainly measures up to my perception of cadillac. Wish I would have looked at Cadillac sooner. By the way, the sport mode in this car.... Awesome!!

Traded my 2014 XTS vSport Caddy in about 1 1/2 years ago on a new '22 CT5-V (not the Blackwing). Got a great trade-in deal, but of course the new car was pricey. Has about 10K on it now. Absolutely no problems so far. It's vivid white and a beauty that gets the attention of young and old alike. (I'm the latter.) Multiple driving modes depending on your mood. It's a bit smaller and stiffer than my XTS, but I like it.

It is interesting how many compliments I receive even from teenagers and young adults! They love the body style and Garnett color as well. I love the ride, the quietness, the sound system and the interior is simple yet elegant! I read some of the car company reviews saying it lack luster for the interior. I beg to argue. I even have the smaller engine and it has plenty of power. It has been a great vehicle.

I bought a 22 Subaturd Outback Wilderness loaded up. Worst car ever so dealer bought back and I went straight to their Cadillac dealership. They had just gotten in a 2023 CT5 Premium Luxury with the 3.0 6 Cyl twin turbo with only 1800 miles. He decided he wanted an Escalade instead. His loss was my gain. I love this car. Had a 2016 CTS Premium with the 3.6. Love this one just as much. They drive great. The handling is amazing, and I like you can get the back in out when you want. Brakes are very good, and I am getting 20 in town and 30 on the highway. Service is amazing as usual with Cadillac. I had a minor recall, and they came to my home picked the car up and left me a loaner. Fixed it, washed it, filled it with gas and it was back within 3 hours. I am a car nut and a Caddy lover.

The styling is also outstanding - I get plenty of compliments on it. Mine has the upgraded interior and I am very pleased. The orange stitching also matches my orange metallic paint job. The car handles very good, especially on a twisting road. I find the twin turbo V-6 with 10 speed has ample acceleration and I also get decent mileage. And it has a nice exhaust note when accelerating. Lots of performance settings similar to my C8 Corvette that are easy to adjust. The CT5V is also a bargain when compared to the European competition and will cost less to maintain.

CT5 V has a good sound. Much better than the CT5 or the CT4 V. A CT5 V with super cruise is impossible to find so I'm still looking. Stylish, fun to drive, good options offered, nice size with room for three in back seat and not too expensive for a luxury car.

Mine is a '21with pretty much every option...It had a metallic clunk underneath since new, after 4 trips to the dealer, a shop foreman rode with me to hear it. Turned out to be a very loose engine mount! Quality indeed! The dash looks plastic, too many mismatched knobs (3 sets of volume controls) with 2 sticking out of the nav screen, Start button is plastic, big enough for a bus. The premium Bose audio system doesn't have a protective cover under the rear deck leaving those great speakers to the mercy of jammed luggage in the trunk, The only good thing is the power train. Ive had 2 ATS 1SS sedans before this with much better quality...

Three month old 2023 CT5, Premium Luxury Twin Turbo beauty after only 3 months and 1400 miles took a dump! Wouldn't start just kept winding up with sound and no ignition! Thankfully it's a lease and now they're problem.

Great car, just moved to Illinois from Florida and needed an AWD vehicle. Was tired of driving SUVs and wanted a sedan before they are gone. This Cadilac compared to a BMW and Mercedes at a better price. I love the car.

Great car so far with 40,000 kms on the clock. It’s a little difficult to exit but a comfortable ride nonetheless. That 4 cyl sound though, just can’t seem to get used to it coming from a V-8. Gas mileage is exceptional and build quality won’t disappoint.

Love everything so far! Styling, instrumentation, performance and comfort. Interior quality is excellent and it has all the options you'd expect in a luxury sedan. The only opportunity to improve would be the dashboard. Tach/speedometer are kind of plain but that doesn't change my overall satisfaction with the car. Great job Cadillac engineers!

Surprisingly crude

I've been driving the V6 3.0 liter version of this car for a few months now and must say am surprised by how crude it is, given this is supposedly a top-of-the line vehicle. i think of my old BMW 340i which had the same specs - 3.0 liter V6, 335 hp - and it's night and day. in the 340i you just had to look at the gas pedal and it was in a different time zone already whereas the CT5 was hopelessly lagging in comparison. The interior feels cheap, the buttons feel cheap, and there are numerous small irritations, such as, why do I have to engage the auto hold button every time I start the car? That is nuts - but that said, the cameras are superb, much better than on the BMW.

As the little brother to the Blackwing, this car does not lack for power. When I've needed to put my foot on the gas, this beast takes off. It's DEFINITELY not your parent's Cadillac!

Very surprised with how fast the CT5 is considering it has a 4 cylinder. I went from a CTS to the CT5 and was afraid I was losing power, but it has definitely impressed me. I love how spacious the interior is and the seats are so much more comfortable than the CTS. I love my CTS and never thought anything could compare , but I have to say this car has impressed me. One down fall I noticed is that it can't maneuver the curves like the CTS. It must have a larger wheel base or something cause I can't make good u-turns or take curves too quickly. So far I'd have to save that is the only negative thing I have found.
