2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Trims Comparison

2022 CT5-V Blackwing trim level differences

The 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing's single trim is very well equipped, with plenty of cabin comforts and technology baked in. Under the hood is a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that makes 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque.

There are two transmission options: a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic. Choosing between the two transmissions is the biggest choice for buyers, and note that some of the safety features are only available with the automatic transmission. Highlighted features include:

  • LED headlights
  • Adaptive suspension dampers
  • Electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential
  • Brembo brakes with slotted rotors
  • 19-inch alloy wheels with high-performance summer tires
  • Power-adjustable front sport seats with heating and ventilation
  • Leather upholstery

The CT5-V Blackwing also comes with:

  • 10-inch central touchscreen
  • Wireless phone charger
  • Surround-view camera with recorder
  • Integrated navigation system
  • Digital gauge cluster
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity)
  • Launch control
  • 16-speaker AKG sound system
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns the driver of an impending collision and can apply the brakes automatically in certain situations)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the vehicle back into its lane if it starts to drift over a lane marker)
  • Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (warns the driver if a vehicle is in the blind spot and monitors crossing traffic while reversing)

Notable options include:

  • Driver Assist package (automatic transmission only)
    • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance behind the car in front)
    • Enhanced forward collision mitigation system
    • Reverse automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Parking package
    • Rear camera mirror (uses a rear-facing camera to display a live image on the mirror)
    • Rear pedestrian alert
    • Hands-free trunk release
  • Carbon-ceramic brakes (can provide better resistance to brake fade during high-performance driving)
  • Performance video recorder

Which 2022 CT5-V Blackwing trim does Edmunds recommend?

The burly sedan only comes in one trim level, so you're left with one big decision: manual or automatic. While the car is faster with the 10-speed automatic, speed isn't everything and if you're buying a Blackwing, it's likely because you love to drive and that experience is best with the six-speed manual. Chances to pair a manual with a big engine are getting rarer and this potent combination is not to be missed, even if opting for the manual means a few driver aids like adaptive cruise control and rear automatic emergency braking can't be equipped. Of the available option packages, we like the Parking package, which adds a rear camera mirror that helps to mitigate the sedan's rear visibility issues.
