2020 Cadillac CT4 Test Drive Video Review

Research more at www.autobytel.com
Back in 2012 Cadillac created a new starting point for its brand that they dubbed the ATS. It was a compact sport coupe and sedan that was designed to compete with the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series. It's been 8 years since then and it's time for some fresh blood... the ATS is out and this new CT4 is in. We're going to check out the spiciest version of this new car right now.

Great review!! I like all the driving clips included in this video. That really makes this review standout from the rest. Also, can’t wait for the CT4 Blackwing.

[@sammysam2615]

Never had a luxury vehicle before, but the 2021 CT4 Premium will be my first. Been working my ass off so I can enjoy myself and this will definitely do

[@jeevansangha3639]

How is it?

[@NashKetchum]

GM vehicles lately have consistently had a very unique smoothness and polish to their handling and suspension - be it a Malibu or a big SUV like the Traverse. Terrific refinement in ride quality, and if this CT4 rides like anything like the rest of their cars (I'm sure it will), this is a winner.

[@jimcav1013]

As a 61 year old ATS owner, this looks like the perfect step up in performance without moving into the full on boy racer ATS -V! This could be perfect for gentleman in my age group that want some performance without going to 500hp.Yeah, nice job Caddy!!!

[@NashKetchum]

This looks fantastic, thanks for the review! Love the way it looks.

[@kaileyreyess]

Badass car! I love it! I'm definitely looking forward to owning this car one day! 🔥

[@-Munditimum-]

Nice clean review. Just a note though; Cadillac actually places the CT4 in the "subcompact" category, just as the CT5 will compete with the compacts even though it's much larger. So the CT4 does NOT compete against the 3 series, Benz C class, Genesis G70 and alike. This is a common misunderstanding of many journalists. Cheers.

[@aluisious]

The CT5 is huge, it's not a compact, and the CT4 is not a subcompact. Cadillac can call it whatever they want, but it's bigger than an ATS.

been eyeing this car for quite a while now I’m only 15 but honestly this is a car I want to get and is it still 40 grand because I was looking at it now and it now cost 30 something grand.

I agree, extremely classy and reserved.

[@tintocherian7715]

You shouldn't be comparing the CT4 V to the BMW M340i...the CT5 V is the one that directly competes with that

Your passenger-side mirror is not adjusted properly. You want to be able to see your blind spot ... not your rear fender. Your rear-view mirror shows you what is behind you; your side-side view should show you your side blind spot.

[@dean2663]

@@blackgtp3220 Hi there. Definitely not as fast. I was referring to the regular CT4. But let me tell you that BMW still goes. I don’t drive fast but today the ground was a little wet, I gave it some juice and I was fishtailing. And wasn’t even in sport mode. I had a Lexus IS350 V6 and I swear this is faster. I think it’s plenty fast, but if you need faster the 340 is a beast. Oh and I get amazing gas too. 26 city 36 highway! My Lexus was horrible 19 city 28 highway. I don’t know how they do it!

[@shopwithaaron]

Thanks for a great review! Sad that they're using a truck engine!

[@tonybarnes2920]

Putting V badges on meh cars is a great way to destroy your own brand. It's like putting AMG badges on bog-standard CLA's or Ford calling a 4-banger turbo Mustang a "Cobra Series". Sad. And come on Autobytel, you could've jumped on the 73 (you were right next to it) and rung it out, to see the rolling to triple digits.

[@blackgtp3220]

Have you driven it to know it is "meh"?

[@tonybarnes2920]

@@blackgtp3220 I daily drive a 600hp+ car. So, "meh" is relative. I'm no benchracer or someone just hung up on stats and dick-swinging badges, but for me, it's going to be "meh", plain and simple. YMMV

[@blackgtp3220]

@@tonybarnes2920 No problem with that, but why not explain it in your post? Makes it look like you are putting down what is a fantastic vehicle. Rate it for what it is, not what it isn't.

[@tonybarnes2920]

@@blackgtp3220 I think my statement is clear and doesn't have anything to do with what I drive. Taking your premium brand and slapping the name on something below, is a great way to destroy your brand, plain and simple. Like I said, it's like putting AMG badges on a bog-standard CLA. It's NOT what that badge and brand represented, regardless of whether the car is "meh" or "wow, this is pretty nice for a 4-banger". This is about poor brand management, plain and simple. Hope that's clear.

[@blackgtp3220]

@@tonybarnes2920 I don't see that BMW, Mercedes or Audi have suffered by having two levels of their performance brands, why is Cadillac going to suffer? Everyone I know seems to be able to figure out that the new HiPo V will be "V Blackwing" and then there will be the "V" with somewhat less performance. And I've watched and read several CT4-V reviews and all have been positive - meaning Cadillac did a credible job. I think the V brand will be enhanced.

[@doomtrooper2909]

Love Cadillac but not impressed with them using the V for a 4 banger. Plus they have to add engine noise through the stereo to give you that performance feel is a no sale for me.😒👎

[@aluisious]

Somehow AMG gets 415 hp out of a 2.0L 4 cylinder. I'd buy that, if it doesn't blow up. Meanwhile Cadillac thinks they're going to give us an economy truck engine.

[@memopadilla5931]

WHich premium sporty sedan is NOT using stereo enhanced engine noise ?? ,. And this is NOT the performance V like before. This is MID LEVEL. THe older V equivalent is not released yet.

[@blackgtp3220]

Why don't you try driving it before dismissing it?

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

I believe you can turn off the engine noise thru the speakers, in the performance settings 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@blackgtp3220]

@@jjh5376 What are you talking about? The CT4 looks nothing like a Chevy, nor did the previous ATS. Have you driven it? Have you even sat in it or are you just regurgitating car magazine comments from 20 years ago? Have you ever sat in a BMW 2 Series? They aren't all soft touch leather either. The CT4's interior is comparable in quality of materials to the 2 Series. And I haven't seen a single review out there saying otherwise.
