Trim Levels of the 2024 Cadillac CT5-V

CT5-V

The base CT5-V trim comes with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that produces an impressive 360 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission with leading-edge calibration and software for strong, effortless acceleration. It will take you from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, and launch control enables full-throttle track acceleration from a stop. It features a top track speed of 156 mph for pure racing joy, and its performance suspension offers optimal responsiveness.

Magnetic Ride Control reads the road every millisecond to deliver precise body motion control and changes damping in just five milliseconds. The driver mode selector lets you adjust how your vehicle adapts to your driving conditions with Tour, Sport, Snow/Ice, Track, My Mode, and V-Mode. Driver Assist and Driver Awareness Plus packages come standard, offering more peace of mind with a lane change alert, rear cross-traffic alert, following distance indicator, lane keep assist, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams.

CT5-V Blackwing 

The Blackwing trim upgrades the engine to a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 with a jaw-dropping output of 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque for a top track speed of 200 mph. It’s paired with a six-speed manual transmission for ultimate driving engagement and 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 3.6 seconds, but a 10-speed automatic is available for slightly faster acceleration. Racing enthusiasts will appreciate the custom launch control, which automates the tire warming process before starting a race.

During evening hours, you’ll be greeted by subtly illuminated door handles to welcome you into the luxurious cabin, which features the same performance front bucket seats as the CT5-V. They offer an 18-way seat adjustment for the driver and front passenger, and ventilation becomes standard. The AKG premium 16-speaker audio system rocks your world when streaming your favorite music and enhances navigation by delivering prompts from the left or right speakers depending on the direction of your next turn.

For unbeatable performance and thrilling drives inside a sleek, sporty package that will delight you every time you start up one of its two impressive engines, the 2024 CT5-V offers endless joy and driving pleasure.
