Cadillac CT5 V-Series – Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More

Cadillac CT5-V Overview

The 2025 Cadillac CT5-V offers a refined balance of performance, technology, and luxury. It features a redesigned front fascia, black moldings, quad trapezoid exhaust tips, and vertical LED headlamps etched with a Mondrian pattern. Under the hood, a 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 engine delivers 360 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque through a 10-speed automatic transmission. An all-wheel-drive option is available for enhanced traction.

Inside, the CT5-V includes a 33-inch LED touchscreen display with customizable features, a head-up display, and an available Performance Data Recorder for detailed on-track analysis. The cabin prioritizes comfort with heated, massaging front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a standard AKG audio system.

Safety technology is comprehensive, with features like Blind Zone Steering Assist, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, and Forward Collision Alert. The Super Cruise driver assistance system with Driver Attention Assist is standard on models equipped with an automatic transmission.

Starting production in summer 2024, the CT5-V will be manufactured in Michigan and available in three new colors: Drift Metallic, Deep Space Metallic, and Typhoon Metallic. As part of Cadillac’s V-Series, it continues to represent the brand’s commitment to precision engineering and performance.

The 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is the end of an era. A last hurrah for the internal combustion engine.

It’s the high watermark of old school performance before the world fully embraces electric propulsion. It’s a rear-wheel drive sedan with a pushrod V8 engine, supercharger, and six-speed manual transmission. A real throwback that somehow still feels thoroughly modern.

And it’s wholly flexible. The car will happy turn a few laps around the track before arriving at the local country club for a black tie dinner.

The Blackwing is one of those rare cars that looks just as dignified as it does mischievous, mostly due to the way the car is equipped. The Blackwing features punched out fenders front and rear, as well as a quad-tip exhaust and bulging front hood.

As a young camp counselor, I was taught an important lesson early on: end games shortly after the kids are enjoying them most.

Sure, they might not like it at the moment. But let the game drag on until they lose interest, and the children won’t be excited to play again.

Maybe someone at Cadillac went to the same camp. That’s the only way to explain the 2022 CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing. The CT5-V is the culmination of everything the brand has learned about sport sedans, distilled into one wicked-sounding, engaging-handling, manual-transmission-having four-door. Cadillac is calling time on its internal-combustion sport sedans, and this is one of those games that we’ll all remember for years to come.
