Trim Levels

Before we address the CT5’s performance, let’s explore the car’s available trim levels. Otherwise known as the base edition, the Premium Luxury trim allows you to enjoy leather upholstery and chrome exterior accents affordably. To access 19-inch wheels and carbon fiber interior trim, choose the Sport model. Do you want to boost the car’s handling? The CT5-V includes Brembo® brakes and adaptive suspension. Lastly, the CT5-V Blackwing is built for closed courses, as it offers a 6-speed manual transmission. 

Performance

Cruise around Meridian with relentless excitement, thanks to the standard 2.0L twin-scroll turbocharged I4 engine in the CT5. When it has premium gasoline circulating at its core, this setup is able to displace 237 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. With RWD equipped, this allows the sedan to rocket from 0 to 60 MPH in 6.6 seconds² to make merging on I-59 feel seamless. You can customize how the car handles as well, because the standard Driver Mode Selector provides Tour, Snow/Ice, Sport, and MyMode settings. You won’t have to worry about loss of traction either, courtesy of the optional AWD system. 

Safety

To harness the full potential of the 2026 Cadillac CT5 confidently, it comes standard with driver-assist technologies. Forward Collision Alert³ brings head-on danger to your attention, so you can safely brake in time. You’ll be protected at busy stop lights as well, since Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking³ provides instant stopping power if another driver runs through a red light. To stay informed, Traffic Sign Recognition³ uses a front facing camera to display speed limits and road hazard warnings on the instrument panel. Perhaps most notably, you can upgrade to Super Cruise®⁴ to enjoy a hands-free driving experience on compatible highways.

Technology

If staying connected is at the top of your wishlist, the 2026 CT5 will exceed your expectations. A 33-inch Horizon Display⁵ comes standard, and it puts your applications, music, messages, and maps within arm’s reach. This interface comes with Google built-in⁶, so you and your family members can create your personal profiles to customize the homescreen when you hop into the cabin. You’ll feel like your favorite podcasts hosts are riding in the cabin with you, as the standard AKG™⁷ Audio System comes with 15 speakers. You won’t have to take your eyes off the road while cruising to QV Sykes Park, as the optional Head-Up Display projects the vehicle’s speed onto the windshield.
