Cadillac CT5 2025 Review – A Comprehensive Evaluation of Its Pros and Cons
January 3, 2025Cadillac’s mid-size sedan offers an exceptional driving experience. Though expensive, this car stands out as being among the most comfortable and sophisticated options available in its segment.
A newly designed 33-inch infotainment display modernizes the CT5 interior without appearing too gimmicky, as well as offering new features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, Wi-Fi hotspot, hands-free trunk lid and automatic climate control.
Safety
GM’s CT5 features an impressive suite of driver assistance technologies designed to keep you focused on the road. As its flagship sedan, the CT5 includes Cadillac’s Super Cruise semi-autonomous drive system – which you can control via either an infotainment display or via an ergonomic rotary dial behind its shifter.
Long drives can be tiring and the CT5 can detect when you’re becoming fatigued or distracted. Furthermore, it will warn when a vehicle enters your blind spot or it is unsafe to change lanes.
The 2025 Cadillac CT5 is suitable for long road trips. There is ample legroom and headroom in the front seat, while taller drivers might find their heads hitting the roofline in the rear seat. Unfortunately, its ride quality falls short of luxury car expectations; its bumps and rocks often cause it to crash over unpredictably and can feel jarring at times; its Michelin Cup 2 R tires 225/40ZR19 up front and 275/35ZR19 rear are street legal slicks so may not do they perform as effectively in adverse weather.
Technology
The 2025 CT5 is an impressive technological powerhouse that rivals its BMW 3-series and Mercedes C-class competitors, such as Audi. A suite of driver assistance technologies such as Driver Attention Assist to detect signs of fatigue and intervene if needed can keep drivers safe on the road; Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking scans your surroundings to help protect from T-bone accidents;
Connect easily and seamlessly to your favorite apps on the go with full Google built-in compatibility for instant information and entertainment, right at your fingertips (or through voice command). Our 33″ diagonal advanced LED screen serves not just as an interactive display but is an immersive portal into virtual cockpit experience.
A Performance Data Recorder designed to simulate driving Gran Turismo-style racing cars will make you feel like a driver by recording laps and overlaying them with data such as rpm, speed, gear ratios, string angle angles and track position via GPS. Furthermore, its interior has been revamped with an innovative 33-inch digital display modernizing and simplifying its dashboard without taking away its usability; still featuring buttons for climate control and infotainment functions.
