Advantages👍
- look.
This is without a doubt one of the most attractive Cadillacs in recent memory. The appearance is sporty and premium, with none of Cadillac's uncomfortable teenage all-angles era's extremes. With minimal overhangs and a modern, fast-back style slope at the back, it's well-proportioned and attractively designed.
- The Power.
Our CT5 had the optional 3.0 litre V6 turbo engine, which puts out 335 horsepower (the base engine is a 2.0 litre 4-cylinder, 237 hp). It's more than enough for this automobile — or any car, for that matter. The smooth, 10-speed automatic transmission is virtually undetectable around town, but it may be slow when forced to downshift abruptly, especially at highway speeds.
- Handling.
This isn't your grandfather's car. Because Cadillac has adopted European-style handling, float is low and roadholding is excellent. Grandpa would have complained about the steering being heavy, but we won't. The handling is great in everyday driving.
- The interior.
It's quite opulent on the inside. Granted, our CT5 contained a $8,000 "premium package" with a slew of interior enhancements. From a base price of slightly over $40K, the extras increased the final price to about $60,000. Expect to pay around $50,000 if you choose for the 4-cylinder engine and forego a few frills. Regardless of engine, it has more interior space than the Audi A4, BMW 3-Series, and Mercedes C-Class, which Cadillac expects to be its main competition. With the Premium Package, the front seats are extremely comfy and practically infinitely customizable. Except for those with updos, travellers in the rear seats will have plenty of legroom.
- The majority of safety requirements are met.
Almost everything comes standard except highway-speed automated emergency braking if you stay away from the lowest trim level. To receive highway speed AEB, you'll need to select adaptive cruise, and lane keeping assist and the head-up display will have to be ordered from the options menu.
- Infotainment has been improved.
Cadillac's Cue system received a lot of flak. They've been working on it, to be sure. It's difficult. First and foremost, the volume button has returned. Thank you very much. And the infotainment system is as rational as you'll find anywhere right now. There's a rotary dial between the seats, or you may use your fingertips on the touch screen. Another enhancement they may add is a rotary dial that toggles in each direction. There's also Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Breakthrough with the phone holder.
Wireless phone charging is becoming more common in high-end vehicles, which is fantastic. There are no cables. But, so far, only Cadillac has designed the ideal resting place for the wirelessly charging phone. It's a little holder that sits towards the front of the centre console, inclined slightly backwards. It's simple to view the phone if you need to look at it, and it's also easy to notice so you remember to bring it with you when you park. It also charges wirelessly without taking up as much room as a flat pad would.
- The back view camera is really clear.
Cameras and screens are improving in general, but the CT5 offers an especially huge and clear picture of what's behind you when you need it.
Disadvantages👎
- Suspension isn't quite up to par.
The CT5 is both comfy and sporty around town. It's firm enough to be pleasurable to drive while yet being supple enough to absorb the worst of the road's imperfections. However, as we pushed it a little farther, it looked to reach its limits. The CT5 appeared to nearly bottom out several times on the highway, particularly passing over things like frost heaves. Sport mode firmed things up, but not in the way we'd want to spend hours on a lengthy trip.
- The sound of engine.
As previously said, there is plenty of power. The V6's tone, on the other hand, is a little rough. Cadillac may have done this on purpose to provide some "sporty" feedback to the experience. It could also just be a rough-sounding engine.
- Rear view mirrors are small.
The rear view mirrors are sleek and fashionable, but they are on the tiny side. Cadillac decided for style over function here, and the rear view mirrors appear sleek and beautiful, but they are on the tiny side.
