• Infotainment: 33-inch panoramic display with Google Built-in, Google Assistant natural voice recognition, Google Maps navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto.

Which Cadillac CT5 trim should I buy?

The 2025 Cadillac CT5 offers these trims:

• Premium Luxury: Best for you if you want the CT5’s comfort-first setup with the standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 10-speed automatic, and rear-wheel drive, plus the option to add the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 and all-wheel drive.
• Sport: A good fit if you want the same core powertrain choices with a more performance-oriented character.
• CT5-V: The performance step-up for shoppers who want more power and a more aggressive setup.
• CT5-V Blackwing: The top performance choice for buyers who want the most extreme CT5 in the lineup.

What Cadillac CT5 do most buyers choose?

The Cadillac CT5 years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Higher-volume years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right color, mileage, and equipment mix. They also tend to be the years most shoppers cross-shop first, which helps keep selection broad.

What is the Cadillac CT5's resale value?

Most CT5 model years are down year over year, and some of the declines are steep enough to create appealing used-car value. That pattern is especially helpful if you want a newer luxury sedan without paying close to new-car pricing. The smaller drops on a few years suggest some versions are holding value a bit better than others.

The 2023, 2022, and 2020 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
