by Michael Butler We know that Cadillac can build excellent sedans - just look at the Cadillac CT5 - but we also know that it has struggled to truly match its German counterparts in certain areas. Despite its size, the CT5 is aimed at slightly smaller rivals such as the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4 and undercuts them on price by a significant margin. The exterior styling is spot-on, and the driving experience is exactly what we've come to expect from Cadillac. We'd skip the lazy 2.0-liter turbo and go straight for the 335-horsepower turbocharged V6 engine. It's a shame that the interior can't match those of 'ze' Germans, but at the price, there's just so much value to be had here.Read in this review

Some of Cadillac's Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving suite's features such as adaptive cruise control, active lane control, and lane-changing will be subject to late availability for the 2022 model year but will enable buyers to order the tech in one of two packages that bundle it with other luxury features. These packages are the Super Cruise 1 and 2 packages and are available on the Premium Luxury and Sport trims only. Super Cruise 1 adds to the Super Cruise tech items such as a 12-inch gauge cluster, surround-view camera, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and paddle shifters. Super Cruise 2 costs about double the price of Super Cruise 1 and additionally adds items such as navigation, a Bose premium audio system, and the contents of other packages like the Lighting and Technology packages. Note that this is not the most advanced self-driving version of the Super Cruise technology. Other changes to the 2022 CT5 are the removal of the physical volume and tuning knobs from the dashboards of the 3.0-liter V6 cars and the addition of a standard wireless charging pad. A new paint color - Blaze Orange - is added to the palette, but is only available on the Sport trim.Pros and Cons

Cadillac has been building great driver's cars for the last decade, so it should come as no surprise when we tell you that the CT5 offers a good time behind the wheel. It rides on Cadillac's Alpha 2 platform, which has been further refined since the days of the ATS, and the overall driving experience is on par with its contemporaries. It should be noted from the start, however, that the CT5 is not a sports car, and Cadillac has clearly tuned the chassis and suspension setup in the non-V vehicle to be more forgiving, which works in its favor. Out on the open road, the CT5 is remarkably comfortable, with minimal road noise intruding into the cabin. Still, on twisty roads, we did notice a bit more body roll than in competitors such as the BMW 3 Series. Cadillac's excellent Magnetic Ride suspension is offered on the Sport trim and, along with the V Performance package, which includes a mechanical limited-slip differential, performance suspension, and Brembo brakes, this turns the CT5 into a serious driver's car> However, that's not what this Caddy is all about.

Cadillac set its own bar pretty high when it released the ATS and CTS: both were excellent driver's cars and proved that the automaker has what it takes to genuinely rival its German counterparts. Fast forward a couple of years, and the CT5 still offers a compelling package. The exterior is nice to look at, and the interior is refined enough to compete with the likes of the BMW 3 Series, although we did find some materials lacking in quality. Under the hood, the base engine is disappointing and doesn't stand up to the competition, but the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter engine saves the day with excellent power and an aggressive exhaust note. Around the bends, the CT5 isn't as focused as its Germanic foes, but the CT5 undercuts the prices of cars such as the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series by such a large margin that it doesn't really matter. Cadillac is still in the premium sedan race.Check out other Cadillac CT5 Styles

Cadillac2022 Cadillac CT5 vs Cadillac CT6 Sedan
Despite being discontinued last year, the Cadillac CT6 is still an exciting option, and it shouldn't be challenging to find a fresh second-hand car for sale in your area. The CT6 is larger and is offered with two engine options. The base 3.6-liter V6 engine produces 335 hp (as much as the most potent CT5), and you also get the option of a hardcore 4.2-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 500 hp and 574 lb-ft. In either spec, power is sent to all four wheels via a ten-speed automatic transmission. On the road, the CT6 is possibly one of the best handling full-size luxury cars of its time, but its stiffer suspension slightly compromises comfort. The interior shares a similar design language, extending to the use of lower-quality materials. The CT6 can be an interesting alternative to a new CT5; after all, you get more space, a potential 500 hp if you're willing to pay the extra cash, and an excellent chassis.See Cadillac CT6 Sedan Review
