Release Date

The new 2022 CT4-V Blackwing trim (base price $58,995) is available in the market while the normal CT4 trims are expected to hit the market by the end of 2021.

The 2022 Cadillac CT4 may seem underpowered at first if you compare it with the ATS which used to offer a better power output. However, the 2.0L turbo inline-4 is not bad with its 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft torque. With an RWD drivetrain, the engine is mated to an 8-Speed automatic transmission as standard. The CT4-V gets a more refined 2.7L turbo inline-4 engine. It churns out 325hp and 380lb-ft torque. With the new CT4-V Blackwing, we'll be getting a Twin-Turbo V6 engine. It will take performance to a new level with 472 horses and a 445 lb-ft of torque. It is either mated to a 6-Speed manual or a 10-Speed automatic transmission. With its base engine, the Cadillac CT4 accelerates from 0 to 60 MPH in 6.2 seconds. Meanwhile, the CT4-V is comparatively faster as it nails 0 to 60 MPH run in just 4.8 seconds The Blackwing is rumored to reach 60 MPH under 3.9 seconds and clock the quarter-mile in 13.2 seconds.

The 2022 CT4 is an agile and fun-to-drive luxury performance sedan. The advanced dynamics and the driver assistance technologies make it more capable and obedient. The CT4 starts with a simple driving experience with its base trim. As we move up towards the V series, the CT4 warms up for better performance and driving impressions. The suspension is updated to give a better leaning response around the corners. The CT4-V offers an adaptive tuned suspension to provide better balance and dynamics. It accelerates way better with the launch control system onboard. The Premium Luxury trim and above offer optional Brembo V performance front brakes. If we talk about the CT4-V, you get standard four-wheel Brembo disc brakes with ABS and slotted discs. With the optional AWD system, more traction and stability is obtained on the highways. 

With its base engine, the Cadillac CT4 isn't the fastest sedan in the class. Still, it is capable of giving close competition to its rivals. Still, the BMW 330i takes the lead with its exceptional driving capabilities. The Genesis G70 is not far behind as it is only lagging by 0.1 seconds whereas things aren’t so good for the Lexus IS 300 which does the 0-60 0.7 seconds later than the Cadillac CT4. 

The Cadillac CT4 returns 23 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway.. With a combined 27 MPG, it has a favorable response to the different driving conditions. A 17.0-gallon tank allows you to hit the road without thinking twice. The AWD will reduce the fuel economy in the city and on the highway by one and three MPG. The 2.7L engine with RWD provides 21/31/25 MPG in the city, on the highway, and combined respectively. Meanwhile, the AWD with a 2.7L motor cuts out two MPG on the highway. However, the 472 hp V6 powered Blackwing has no regard to mileage with its 15 MPG in the city and just 23 MPG on the highway.

As compared to the rivals, the Cadillac CT4 is the second-best luxury performance sedan in terms of fuel economy. It is beaten by the BMW 330i which has the smallest fuel tank among the bunch. Furthermore, rivals like Genesis G70 and the Lexus IS 300 shares the same fuel efficiency in the city and on the highway but with a bigger fuel tank and slightly higher combined fuel efficiency gives the lead to the IS 300.

The 2022 CT4 offers a spacious cabin with an elegant design crafted out of quality materials. From a simple-looking dashboard on the base Luxury trim, the Cadillac CT4 levels up with a leather-upholstered dashboard with contrast stitching. What makes the dash attractive is the massive 12.0-inch digital instrument cluster and a center-mounted infotainment display. Despite that, we have plenty of physical controls. The Super Cruise leather-wrapped steering wheel is a new addition. The base trim gets 2-way power lumbar support which can be upgraded to optional 4-way on the middle trim and standard on the topmost trim. Heated steering wheel and heated front seats, both are optional across the trim range. 

The rear seating ain't that special as you have a simple split-fold bench seat. Although Cadillac does offer 2-way power-adjustable head restraints for front and rear seats. As it is a premium sedan, the cabin is well equipped with convenient features and options. Standard cabin features include ambient interior lighting, a wireless charging dock, dual-zone automatic climate control, manual day/night rearview mirror, keyless entry and ignition, 3-spoke Leather-wrapped steering wheel, Manual tilt and telescoping steering column, paddle shifters, and remote start. The higher trims add a universal home remote, alloy sport pedal, rotary-jog infotainment controller, and more.

The Cadillac CT4 does offer decent space inside the cabin but it has the least total passenger volume in the competition. The highest one is given inside the BMW 330i and it is followed by the Genesis G70 and then Lexus IS 300. If we compare the trunk/cargo space/capacity, the BMW 330i once again is ahead of the rest and the Genesis G70 takes the last position.

• Leather upholstery
• 12.0-inch digital instrument cluster

As the CT4 is a major upgrade from the Cadillac ATS, it looks way more striking and attractive. Cadillac has found a way to retain the classic Caddy design with modern aerodynamics. It still has that sculpted front and back design but is a lot different than the ATS. The CT4-V has a much better styling and enhanced design with the lowered body and the dark theme. The CT4 offers the optional black grille with the emblem at the center. The major difference to the front fascia comes with the sleek LED headlamps and the revised hood lines. The side profile of the CT4 is nothing compared to the CT4-V that has a lowered body and sporty design accents. Chrome trim revolves around the windows and is also given on the door handles.

Lastly, for the 2022 model year, Cadillac has dropped the velocity red, evergreen metallic, and dark moon blue metallic exterior paints. 

The Cadillac CT4 weighs around 3,400 pounds and is the lightest one among the bunch with the shortest wheelbase that explains why it lacks in terms of interior space. On the other hand, the BMW 3 Series 330i has the largest wheelbase whereas the Lexus IS 300 is the heaviest sedan in the competition. The Genesis G70 has the widest but has the least height in the segment.

Cadillac CT4 vs Genesis G70

The Genesis G70 is a newcomer in the executive sedan class. With its Kia Stinger genes, it competes well with the other cars. It offers a premium design and top-notch safety and tech. In terms of quality and performance, the G70 is a promising entry-level luxury sedan. The Cadillac CT4, apart from technology and luxury, packs decent performance. With its CT4-V version, Cadillac is setting new standards for the luxury performance class. If the G70 tries to gain the advantage by offering a slightly more spacious cabin, it gets held back because of poor fuel efficiency compared to the G70. 

Cadillac CT4 vs BMW 330i

The BMW 3 Series is the most popular and performance-packed luxury sedan in the class. Being a German car, the 330i offers advanced tech, the latest safety, and driver assistance. It is the most fuel-efficient sedan. Also, the 330i doesn't let its economy come in its way of performance. The Cadillac CT4 offers more advanced tech at a more competitive price. To compete properly with the BMW 3 Series, Cadillac has introduced the CT4-V Blackwing that makes it a tough contender against the BMW M3 with advanced dynamics.

Cadillac CT4 vs Lexus IS 300

Lexus IS 300 is known for its reliability and performance. The new generation model offers enhanced performance and an appealing design. Lexus makes good use of technology to deliver a well-packed performance sedan with ultimate luxury. The Cadillac CT4 offers the best value in terms of performance and features. You can count on the CT4 with its mileage and driver assistance features. With its Super Cruise steering and a driver-focused cabin, the CT4 is fully loaded.

There are hardly any flaws in the Cadillac CT4. It has got a charming exterior design and a comfortable interior. It has ample features and driving capabilities are also excellent. But we would recommend going for the BMW 3 Series provided you don’t mind the higher price tag. Why? The answer is simple. The 330i offers everything that CT4 possesses. In addition to that, the economy, practicality, and performance of the 330i surpass the CT4. However, If you consider the whole package, then you'll realize that the Cadillac CT4 is in for a long haul at a cheaper price. Hence, everything comes down to your budget.
