The CT5 shines in its V-Series form but stumbles at the entry level.
Sleek and stylish design · Tech-loaded cabin
Base engine lacks power · Lower trims feel uninspired
The 2026 Cadillac CT5 is a sedan that aims to impress with its sharp styling and tech-laden interior, but it leaves us wanting more from its base engine. What really grabbed our attention is the V-Series models, especially the Blackwing, which transform the CT5 into a thrilling drive with precise steering and a monstrous powertrain. If you're seeking luxury and performance, aim higher on the trim ladder. The base models fall short on spirited driving and luxury feel, but those looking for cutting-edge tech and a stylish ride might still find it appealing.
Our pick: V-Series ($57,634)
vs. 2026 Volvo S60: The Volvo S60 edges out in luxury feel and value, but the CT5's V-Series models deliver unmatched performance thrills.
