2024 Cadillac CT5 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Cadillac CT5 is a midsize luxury sedan that comes in five trim levels: Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport, V-Series and Blackwing. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (237 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque) comes standard, while a more powerful turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 (335 hp, 405 lb-ft) is optional for the Premium Luxury and standard in the V-Series, where it makes 360 horsepower. A 10-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels or to an available all-wheel-drive system. Exclusive to the Blackwing is a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 good for 668 hp and 659 lb-ft of torque. There are two transmission options: a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic. Both send torque exclusively to the rear wheels. Keep reading for our editors' curated breakdown of the CT5's standard and optional features.

Which CT5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Which CT5 is best for you depends on what's important to you. This sedan is available in a wide spectrum of costs, features and abilities. But we think most people will be happy with the Premium Luxury trim. It costs quite a bit more than the base Luxury trim, but that gets you additional driver assist tech, leather seats and more. It also makes available some of the CT5's most attractive features. Those include the turbocharged 3.0-liter V6, Super Cruise automated driving system, heated, ventilated and massaging seats, and the Bose audio system.
