2025 Cadillac CT4: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Cadillac CT4 is the departure of the V-Series and V-Series Blackwing trims. The remaining Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport models otherwise carry over with one small equipment update: satellite radio becomes standard.
About the 2025 Cadillac CT4
1st-generation CT4 (2020-2026), sixth model year, with no major redesign for 2025.
Cadillac positions the CT4 as a small luxury sedan for drivers who still want a traditional sporty four-door, not just a tech-heavy commuter. The brand leans on its rear-wheel-drive layout, turbocharged power, sharp styling with vertical lighting, and available all-wheel drive to separate it from softer-feeling rivals. In plain terms, the CT4 is the compact Cadillac for shoppers who want upscale features and a more engaging drive than most small luxury sedans deliver.
The 2025 CT4 lineup focuses on three mainstream trims. Luxury covers the essentials with a turbo engine, an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and key driver-assistance features; Premium Luxury adds leather, more comfortable power seats, and adaptive cruise control. Sport brings a bolder look, heavily adjustable front seats with sport bolsters, paddle shifters, and dark exterior trim.

Is the 2025 Cadillac CT4 meaningfully different from the 2024 model?
