CADILLAC CT5 1909 EDITION OVERVIEW:

As sports sedans go, the 2022 Cadillac CT5 doesn’t have the crispest handling and isn’t the most luxurious, but its stylish exterior and eager optional powertrains keep it in the hunt with rivals such as the BMW 3-series, Mercedes-Benz C-class, and Genesis G70. The entry-level engine is a turbocharged four-cylinder, but things get more interesting with the optional twin-turbo V-6 under the hood. To maximize speed and agility, consider the V-series trim, which is the sharpest CT5 this side of the high-performance Blackwing (reviewed separately). Inside, the CT5’s cabin is spacious and well equipped, but those expecting high-end materials and luxury-level ambiance may be disappointed with what they find here. If you’re looking for the latest infotainment and driver-assistance features, however, you’ll find them in the CT5, including Cadillac’s impressive Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving feature.

Ordering General Motors’s Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving technology on the CT5 will be a little easier in 2022 as two new optional packages bundle that feature in with luxury and convenience items on Premium Luxury and Sport trims. The base Luxury trim receives more standard driver-assistance features—such as blind-spot monitoring and lane-keeping assist—but still cannot be had with the high-tech Super Cruise feature. Models equipped with the optional 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 no longer come with volume and selection knobs on the center stack for some reason, but a wireless smartphone charging pad is now standard.

The 120th Anniversary Editions of the 2023 CT5-V Blackwing are part of the company’s Collector’s Series. Each individual car features a vehicle identification number (VIN) that includes a year from 1902 through 2022, starting with car 1902—the white example seen here that was recently auctioned off. The anniversary treatment is purely cosmetic, with details including special plaques on the door sills and B-pillars that acknowledge the commemorative year.
