Specs at a Glance
Drivers in the market for a premier performance sedan will find that Cadillac's current roster is among the most competitive available. The Cadillac CT4-V delivers a sophisticated yet thrilling ride for enthusiasts. This overview highlights the primary distinctions between the CT4-V Base and the high-performance CT4-V Blackwing.
Performance
The heart of the CT4-V Base is a 2.7-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It generates a robust 325 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This trim offers a standard rear-wheel drive layout, though an all-wheel drive system is also available. To ensure precision, Cadillac equips the Cadillac CT4 with a sports-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers and Brembo front brakes.
The CT4-V Blackwing upgrades to a 3.6-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, cranking out a massive 472 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. A major distinction for enthusiasts is the transmission: the Blackwing can be equipped with either a 10-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual. Note that the Blackwing is strictly a rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicle.
Appearance
Visually, the CT4-V Base makes a strong impression. It utilizes performance-inspired styling, including quad exhaust outlets and a specialized front fascia that commands attention. Standard 18-inch alloy wheels with performance tires complete the look.
The CT4-V Blackwing maintains a similar aesthetic but focuses on functional upgrades. Along with its more muscular stance provided by wider performance tires, it features a unique front bumper and an extended chin spoiler, both designed to optimize airflow.
Features
Inside the CT4-V, Cadillac provides a wealth of premium amenities. Highlights include an HD digital gauge cluster, performance-themed front seating, and a 14-speaker Bose sound system. The infotainment system is fully compatible with wireless Apple Carplay® and Android Auto®.
The CT4-V Blackwing offers a similar level of interior luxury. However, buyers should be aware that choosing a manual gearbox means omitting certain safety technologies. These include Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Rear Automatic Braking.
