Thinking about getting a used Cadillac sedan? WIth a few options to pick from, you can’t really go wrong, but which one is right for you? That’s what we’re here to find out, we’ll be breaking down what makes each one unique, and the similarities they have.
Key takeaways
- There’s a few models to pick from, each offering a high performance variant, making them appealing to adrenaline junkies.
- The CT5 is the more modern model out of the three.
- If you’re looking for a greener option, you can look for the CT6 in 2017 and 2018.
When it comes to the CT series, the CT4 is the smallest of the family, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a bad vehicle. Coming with three engines to pick from, and a high performance variant. The base engine is the 2.0L I4, a 2.7L I4, and a 3.6L V6. The base engine can get 237 horsepower, while the 2.7L can get 310 horsepower.
While horsepower isn’t too important for a luxury sedan, it is still nice to know that there’s some “get up and go” under the hood. If you want more power, you can look for the V-Series model. This comes with a high performance 2.7L I4, that can produce 325 horsepower.
If you want the most power, you can look for the Blackwing. This model comes with a 3.6L V6 that can produce 472 horsepower. This is as powerful as the CT4 comes, able to go 0-60 in just 3.9-seconds.
No matter the year, you can find the same 8-inch touchscreen on the inside, as well as 12-way power-adjustable front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control. This helps you and your passengers stay comfortable.
Going up in size, the CT5 adds more comfort in the form of space. If you have older passengers, this is the one you want. This model comes with 42.4-inches of legroom for the front row, and 37.9-inches for the rear. In the first few years, the infotainment that this came with was 10-inches, while larger than the CT4, it wasn’t by much. This was until the 2025 models, which equip the vehicle with a 33-inch screen, making it feel more like a Cadillac.
Much like the CT4, this one comes with a few engines to pick from. There’s the 2.0L I4, 3.0L V6, and a supercharged 6.2L V8. The weakest of the engines is the 2.0L, making 237 horsepower. Stepping up to the base 3.0L V6, this one can produce 335 horsepower, while the V series tuned engine can produce 360 horsepower.
This one also comes with a Blackwing, aimed at performance. This 6.2L V8 comes with 668 horsepower, while being mated to a 6-speed manual. This model can go 0-60 in 3.4-seconds when equipped with the optional automatic transmission. This is more powerful, and faster than the CT4.
CT6
Being the biggest of the 3 CT models, this one didn’t last long with only 4 model years. At launch, this model had three engines to pick from, the engines being 2.0L I4, 3.0L V6, and a 3.6L V6. For the 2017-2018 models, you could find a PHEV, this equipped the 2.0L with electric motors. If you’re not planning on driving long distances, this one will be good for you since you can get 31 MPG with only electricity as tested by the EPA.
If you want something with more power, the V series is also available for this one. The engine that you can look for is the 4.2L V8 that can produce 550 horsepower. This makes it the strongest one available on this model, but not for the CT family.
In its last year, you could find an 8-inch touchscreen. Despite not being the biggest, you could still connect your phone wirelessly, making it easy to connect your favorite playlist. This model also comes with a wireless charging pad, helping your phone stay fully charged while on the road.
