New 2024 Cadillac CT5 in Thornhill, ON

Although it can look a little more complicated from some angles, there are effectively five different versions of the 2024 Cadillac CT5. The lineup mirrors the formula of the CT5’s smaller sibling, but the CT5 does everything a little bigger. The standard models are the entry-level CT5 Luxury, the CT5 Premium Luxury, and CT5 Sport. Once again, the Premium Luxury and Sport models share headline billing and the same MSRP.

The following two models in the family place performance even higher up their agenda. The 2024 CT5 V-Series is a relatively modest step up in price and performance from the Premium Luxury and Sport models. Still, the CT5 V-Series Blackwing is very special and deserves its place at the pinnacle of the lineup.

It can be difficult for some people to accept that a luxury car can represent good value for money. But when you compare the 2024 CT5 with the competition, it’s tough to reach any other conclusion. Even the awesome CT5 Blackwing represents excellent value when you compare it to rival models capable of reaching 100 kph in three and a half seconds, especially in such style and luxury.

Standard power-adjustable front seats, synthetic leather upholstery, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a 10.0-inch touchscreen, a 12.0-inch digital instrument screen, and 18-inch alloys sound impressive, and they are. But they are part of the standard specification of the entry-level CT5 Luxury. Step up to the V-Series, and the additional standard kit includes a 15-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system, a heated steering wheel, and adaptive cruise control. It also gives access to some of the most high-tech options, such as Super Cruise.
