Understanding the Trim Levels of the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V: Performance Options Explained

Sedans don’t come more luxurious than the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V. Although both trim levels of Caddy’s mid-size sport sedan boast a revamped exterior and feature-rich interior, they differ in performance and levels of luxury. We delve into the details of the CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing to help you understand their unique attributes.

Trim Levels of the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V

1. CT5-V

First up is the base CT5-V with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 and a 10-speed automatic transmission at its heart. This powerful combination generates 360 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque and propels Caddy’s entry-level trim from 0 to 60 in just 4.6 seconds.

Complementing this sporty performance is a redesigned exterior with 19-inch satin graphite aluminum alloy wheels, gloss-black rocker moldings, and black accents on the front grille and upper body. Illumination is provided by automatic LED stacked headlights and signature vertical lighting which lend the front fascia a futuristic appearance.

Interior Highlights

Inteluxe leatherette lines the plush interior. Heated 8-way power-adjustable performance bucket seats are installed at the front, with both the driver’s and passenger’s seats having a four-way lumbar and massage feature. Caddy also continues the sporty theme by giving drivers alloy sport pedals and alloy paddle shifters mounted on the heated power tilt and telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Dominating the dashboard is a stunning 33-inch diagonal LCD display with Google built-in, integrated navigation, 5G Wi-Fi capability, and smartphone compatibility. Incorporated into the display is a configurable 12-inch HD instrument cluster on which to view vehicle data. A 15-speaker AKG premium audio system is included as standard, as is ambient lighting and dual-zone automatic climate control.

2. CT5-V Blackwing

The CT5-V Blackwing is the epitome of power and performance. It switches the V6 for a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, upping the output to a mighty 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque and reducing the 0-60 time to a mere 3.4 seconds. A change of transmission gives you a six-speed manual, putting you firmly in control of every ride. And, so you can keep your eyes fixed on the road ahead, Caddy’s top trim gains a head-up display.

A lighting upgrade introduces adaptive LED cornering lamps that highlight corners as you turn into them. Illuminated door handles and puddle lamps incorporated into the heated power-folding mirrors provide lighting when approaching the vehicle at night. Inside, the cabin now features suede microfiber trimming and leather upholstery with mini-perforated inserts. Drivers receive ventilated front seats and a Modena leather thick-rimmed steering wheel.

The new Caddy CT5-V is a masterclass in American craftsmanship. Whether you opt for the base trim or go all out with the supercharged Blackwing, you’ll be investing in one of the most luxurious sedans on the market. Visit Service Cadillac in Lafayette, LA today, to explore the CT5-V lineup and pick out your performance sedan.
