Nearly Twins, Completely Amazing: Comparing the Cadillac CT4 and CT5

SUVs and Crossovers are a favorite for Cadillac shoppers near Columbia, but there’s a pair of Cadillac Sedans that should be on your radar as you consider your next vehicle.
The CT4 and CT5 are stylish, comfortable, filled with technology, and offer high performance variants to thrill on the commute and at the track.
Let’s explore a bit about how these two top sedans compare.
Which Engines Are in the CT4 and CT5?
The CT4 and CT5 sedans from Cadillac have smooth and powerful engines under their hoods, but you won’t always have the same engine when considering the two cars.
The 2025 CT4 Sedan can be equipped with either:
- A 2.0L turbocharged 4 cylinder with 237 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque
- 2.7L turbocharged 4 cylinder with 310 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque
The 2025 CT5 Cadillac sedan can be equipped with:
- The 2.0L 4 cylinder with 237 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque
- 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 with 335 horsepower and 405 lb.-ft of torque
You can get a V6 engine in the CT5 sedan, but not in the standard version of the CT4.

What’s Different About the CT4 V and CT5 V? 
Driving enthusiasts looking for an increased thrill should consider the V-series models of the Cadillac CT4 and CT5.
Your increased performance in the CT4 V-Series sedan from Cadillac comes from the 2.7L Dual-volute turbocharged engine which produces 325 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft of torque.
Drivers around Blythewood can expect to accelerate from 0-60 MPH in roughly 4.8 seconds in their 2025 CT4 V-Series and reach a top speed of 156 MPH.
The 2025 CT5 V-Series performance sedan from Cadillac has a 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 in its engine bay, but it sees a bump in power to 360 horsepower and 405 lb.-ft of torque.
The CT5 V-Series can accelerate from 0-60 MPH in roughly 4.6 seconds while hitting the same top speed of 156 MPH on a racetrack that you can achieve in the CT4 V.
Is There a Blackwing CT4 and CT5? 
If you’re looking for the ultimate in performance sedans from Cadillac, you need to consider the CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing before adding a new vehicle to your driveway.
These limited production sports sedans from Cadillac will thrill you and your passengers while spicing up your commute and being ready for weekend track experiences.
The CT4-V Blackwing makes a V6 available in the CT4 from Cadillac, and dials performance up to 11 in this car.
Your CT4-V Blackwing will feature a 3.6L twin-turbocharged V6 that makes 472 horsepower and 445 lb.-ft of torque.
It will fling you to 60 MPH in roughly 3.9 seconds and can hit 189 MPH in a safe track environment.
Your CT4-V Blackwing can be equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission (YES!) or a 10-speed automatic transmission.
The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing Cadillac’s top dog when it comes to insane performance. Yours will feature a massively powerful 6.2L hand-built supercharged V8 engine that puts out a staggering 668 horsepower and wild 659 lb.-ft. of torque.

The CT5-V Blackwing features a 6-speed manual transmission as standard equipment with a 10-speed automatic transmission available as an option.
