The refreshed Cadillac CT4 doesn’t offer much in terms of new looks or engine power, but it comes with an extended equipment list and price hikes up to $2,705 across the entire range.
While the CT5 received a full-fledged mid-generational update not long ago, its junior cousin the CT4 makes do with only minor modifications. For one, it is obtainable in two new colors called Coastal Blue Metallic and Vibrant White Tricoat. Prices now start from U.S. $35,600 before destination fee, which is $605 higher than before.
On the upside, the Luxury trim now includes the $600 Cold Weather package (front seat and steering wheel heating) for free. Premium Luxury and Sport trims now come with the $1,200 Climate package preinstalled as well, adding heating and ventilation to the seats.
Four-cylinder engines remain a staple of the lineup. The base 2.0-liter mill produces 240 PS (237 hp / 177 kW) and 349 Nm (257 lb-ft) of torque. The larger 2.7-liter engine is good for 314 PS (310 hp / 231 kW) and 474 Nm (350 lb-ft).
Opting for the CT4-V lands you with the same 2.7-liter engine, but boosted further to 330 PS (325 hp / 243 kW) and 515 Nm (380 lb-ft). The V version now costs $50,000 instead of $47,295, and Cadillac fails to mention any other tech improvements aside from the engine.
Like before, the Blackwing series resides at the top of the list with a 3.6-liter V6 capable of 479 PS (472 hp / 352 kW) and 603 Nm (445 lb-ft). It now costs $62,700, up $505 from before the facelift. Changes are minor: there’s a new steering wheel and a Driver Assist package with adaptive cruise control and other modern niceties. Of course, it requires the 10-speed automatic variant of the sedan, while the six-speed manual version remains available without Driver Assist.
