2024 Cadillac CT5: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Cadillac CT5 is mostly a carryover. The main change is 20th-anniversary commemorative detailing for the CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing; the regular CT5 lineup receives no major update.
About the 2024 Cadillac CT5
1st generation CT5 (2020-2024 pre-refresh), final year before the 2025 facelift.
Cadillac positions the CT5 as a midsize luxury sport sedan that blends fastback styling, rear-wheel-drive dynamics, and everyday comfort. The model’s core appeal is that it feels more driver-focused than many front-drive-based rivals while still offering upscale materials, strong safety technology, and available AWD. In Cadillac’s own messaging, the CT5 leans on distinctive lighting, athletic proportions, and a sense of American performance-luxury character rather than just screen count or badge prestige.
The regular lineup ranges from the well-equipped Luxury to the richer Premium Luxury and the blacked-out Sport. The CT5-V adds a 360-hp twin-turbo V6, adaptive suspension, and upgraded brakes, while the CT5-V Blackwing tops the range with a 668-hp supercharged V8, a digital instrument display, and a head-up display.
