Cadillac Reveals Details on the 2025 CT5: A Closer Look at the Upgraded Sports Sedan
The Cadillac CT5 is set to receive a major overhaul for the 2025 model year. With revised interior and exterior styling, new technology, and enhanced safety features, the updated CT5 aims to remain competitive in the evolving world of electrification. While the powertrain remains unchanged and there is no word yet on a performance variant, the CT5 still promises to be a compelling option for luxury sports sedan enthusiasts.
Exterior Changes
One of the most noticeable updates to the CT5 is its new front-end look. The car now features stacked LED headlights and a wider grille, giving it a more aggressive and modern appearance. For those who prefer a sportier aesthetic, the Sport trim offers blacked-out accents, including the grille and surrounding trim pieces. These exterior updates give the CT5 a refreshed and dynamic presence on the road.
Interior Enhancements
While the exterior changes are certainly eye-catching, the interior updates are where the CT5 truly shines. Cadillac has introduced a massive 33-inch LED touchscreen with 9K resolution, positioned behind a curved panel that is canted towards the driver. This innovative design ensures that the driver has easy access to all the necessary controls and information.
In terms of technology, Cadillac has partnered with Google to bring Google Assistant, Maps, and the Play Store to the CT5. This integration allows for seamless connectivity and access to a wide range of apps and services. The infotainment system, which was already known for its user-friendly interface, has been further improved with the shift to Google technology.
Safety Features
Cadillac has also prioritized safety in the updated CT5. The 2025 model now offers a host of new safety technologies, including intersection automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition with intelligent speed assist, driver attention assist, standard blind spot steering assist, and available Super Cruise. Super Cruise is GM’s hands-free driving assistant, which works on thousands of miles of limited-access highways and interstates in North America. These safety features provide added peace of mind for both the driver and passengers.
Powertrain Options
The 2025 CT5 will be available with two carryover powertrains. The base model comes equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, generating 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. For those seeking more power, Cadillac offers an upgraded engine option: a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with 335 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is available for those who prefer enhanced traction and handling. The CT5 also features selectable drive modes, including settings for snow/ice and sport, allowing drivers to tailor their driving experience to their preferences.
Conclusion
With its updated design, advanced technology, and comprehensive safety features, the 2025 Cadillac CT5 is poised to make a statement in the luxury sports sedan segment. While the powertrain remains unchanged, the CT5’s overall package is compelling enough to attract buyers in the new era of electrification. Whether you’re looking for a stylish and powerful daily driver or a comfortable and luxurious road trip companion, the CT5 offers a blend of performance, comfort, and sophistication that is hard to beat.
