2025 Cadillac CT4-V: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Cadillac CT4-V is the addition of the 50-car Blackwing Petit Pataud Edition, a collector model inspired by Cadillac’s 1950 Le Mans history. Otherwise, this is a light-update year with familiar engines, transmissions, chassis hardware, and cabin technology.
About the 2025 Cadillac CT4-V
1st generation CT4/CT4-V (2020-2026), late-cycle model year.
Cadillac positions the CT4-V range as a compact luxury sport sedan family that mixes track-bred responses with everyday comfort. The regular CT4-V is the sharper, more attainable V-Series entry, while the CT4-V Blackwing is the harder-edge version for drivers who want serious rear-drive performance without giving up a usable cabin and premium features. Its biggest differentiators are rear-drive balance, available manual engagement on Blackwing, and Cadillac’s strong chassis tuning.
The CT4-V remains the more approachable sport sedan, pairing a 325-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine with Brembo front brakes and a 10-speed automatic. The 472-hp Blackwing is the more focused model, with a twin-turbo V6, adaptive suspension, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, and stronger Brembo brakes. The Petit Pataud Edition keeps that Blackwing performance package but adds a matte exterior finish, carbon-fiber trim, and serialized collector details.
