Recently purchase a 2024 CT5V and couldn’t be happier. You can change personalities on demand and the torque is fantastic. For most of us it’s the acceleration that matters not a top speed of 160 as I’ll never do that. Let me have a smooth ride most of the time and put it into V mode when I want to punch it and get around traffic on the highway

I'm in the UK and always saw the Cadilac brand as premium. I'd love one of these, all the extras seem baked in and I love the interior. It's seems great value for your money and I think you should just go ahead and buy one, protect America jobs from going to China. Best wishes to all American buyers, do your duty and just get the finance and buy one. Quentin

I just bought a 2024 almost identical to this one for my wife to use as a daily driver. We absolutely love it. Good power and good MPG. Very comfortable and handles very well. Personally I cannot stand FWD based vehicles so I love the rear drive biased longitudinally mounted engine set up. We got the V6 and IMO its a much nicer motor. The 2.0l is actually not bad in daily driving and pretty reasonable power but its a bit rough and noisy especially if you get higher up in the revs. The V6 is much smoother and quieter. Honestly you don't really notice the extra power from the V6 until you get into the revs and then when it comes on you really feel the power difference. In fairness to the 2.0 it does feel like its more than its 237hp rating and the power does come on quite low in the rev range thanks to the twin scroll turbo. The V6 is a sweet motor but it does have twin parallel more traditional single scroll turbos (ie one for each cylinder bank) so the power isn't quite instantaneous but still very good. It's a beautiful looking car that's gets compliments all the time and IMO you'd have to spend substantially more $ to get something as nice. We cross shopped a Volvo S60 and Audi A5 sportback when we were looking. Both really nice cars. The CT5 handled much better than the S60 due to its FWD platform. The V6 CT5 was noticeably more powerful than either. I definitely love the Quattro AWD system in the Audi and perhaps some of the interior materials were a bit nicer in the imports but they are also significantly more money and I actually enjoyed driving the CT5 more than the others.

I absolutely appreciate how instead of trying to tell the manufacturer where their car competes, you understood the positioning of the vehicle and explained where it competes perfectly. This 2025 CT5 is absolutely gorgeous. The front end truly has that Cadillac presence now for sure and love the sleek and sophisticated, side profile, and its stance. The rear end is sexy/clean. I like the interior updates, they improved the quality & technology significantly, the materials like the leather around the display looks softer and more supple than before.

Exactly, I’ve been trying to figure out why anyone would say this wasn’t worth it’s increase over the base Luxury with the 2.0t (which I really like). Supercruise continues to work and will receive OTA updates throughout the life of the vehicle regardless of if the owner wants to subscribe to use it, it’s there forever. So as standard equipment it will add lots of resale value, even with higher mileage. Great move!

And in the interior they put in a bigger wider screen, because in today’s world, people buy a car based on screen size. Other than the screen size, it’s exactly the same car as a few years ago…but because of the screen, all of a sudden it’s a much better car. Give me a break. All these reviewers have the same talking points…these reviewers are predictable and pathetic..Also forgot to mention how they have their heads so far up the ass of those German money pits, overpriced junk cars, BMW and Mercedes…

mpressive car, but I think the price increase, and "tweener" status don't help Cadillac. It's tough to pick this over a 5-series/E-class, or even a 3-series/C-class, and the car itself being sort of confused in its positioning doesn't help. Cadillac just needs to be clear with its market and competitors, and do it confidently do it better - not bigger, not cheaper. GM makes great cars when they want to (Blackwings, Escalade, Corvette, Hummer, etc) - bring the A-game, Cadillac. Be the Cadillac of the market.

It also had a higher MSRP. I went from a gen 2 2010 CTS premium to a 2023 CT5-V platinum and I didn't pay much more for the current ride than I did 13 years earlier for the gen 2. And this one blows the doors off any previous non-V CTS - with the possible exception of the CTS V-Sport. I agree though, that there are a few luxury items that are MIA but that probably explains the reasonable MSRP.

@@G-Rated Compared with this tested car, the Acura TLX Type S comes close to the CT5 PL with 3.0TT. I'd say that adding SuperCruise to the Caddy puts it ahead. I certainly wouldn't pay a premium for the Acura. So while the Premium Luxury CT5 3.0TT and the TLX-S might be in the running with one another, a few dollars more puts you in a far-better CT5-V (non-Blackwing) that is superb and miles better than the Acura. MotorTrend did a comparo between the TLX Type S, the CT5-V and the Genesis G70. The Cadillac finished first and the Acura third. That isn't surprising given that the Acura was the only one of the three with a FWD-biased (and front heavy) platform. While the Acura is good, it just isn't anywhere near as good as the Caddy.
