Cadillac sets it ambitions high with the reveal of the 2020 Cadillac CT5 at the New York Auto Show.
The CT5 is a replacement for the CTS with the capability to take on higher class luxury sedans. This list includes the Mercedes C-Class, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Audi A4, and BMW 3 Series.

In past years, the CTS and ATS didn’t quite match directly with these rivals, while the CTS, ATS, and XTS overlapped with each other on many levels. However, Cadillac believes the CT5 is the champion they have been looking for in the luxury sedan battle.
This 2020 model is not as long as the CTS. However, its wheelbase is almost 1.5 inches longer, perfecting its proportions with short overhangs.
Powertrains and performance
Its base engine is familiar to Cadillac fans, as it runs on the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine of the XT4. Like its compact crossover sibling, it cranks out 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
The CT5 Sport showcases Cadillac’s unique expertise in crafting American performance sedans, with details designed to elevate every drive. The CT5 will be built at GM’s Lansing Grand River facility and will make its public debut in April at the New York International Auto Show. Cadillac revealed its newest sedan with a social media campaign designed to stimulate the senses.
A stronger thrust of power is evident with its 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine. It lashes out 335 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.
Each engine operates with a 10-speed automatic transmission with the flexibility of all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive.
