Not Like The Others | Cadillac CT4

Cadillac's sedan lineup was in an awkward place last year. The ATS/CTS/CT6 were priced like the BMW 3/5/7 Series, yet they were smaller inside and didn't offer the "wow-factor" found in some of the German competition. For 2020 and 2021 Cadillac is going in a different direction with their new CT4 and CT5, the only sedans in the lineup. The CT4 is considerably less than the ATS and now targeted at the CLA, 2-Series and A3. This formula sounds insane, but strangely enough... It works....

I think it comes with a 360 camera and the Bose (14 speaker if I'm not wrong) standard. The 360 camera is super helpful when parking and making sure you don't scrape the front or the wheels in the curb. You also get more safety standard. I own a 3.7 2015 and I love it!

I think I'll keep my A4.

[@fjones1914]

I’ll keep my 2017 ATS-V with the problematic CUE and all.

[@bassistdc]

can you get a spare tire with the CT4?

[@Heatherder]

Why would you need one? The donuts are only good for 50 miles anyways, if a runflat with a can of fixaflat can do that then why include the weight and room

[@bassistdc]

@@Heatherder At the time I didn't know it came with run flats.

The CT4-V looks like another winner for Cadillac! www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a34304375/2020-bmw-m235i-gran-coupe-vs-cadillac-ct4-v-mercedes-amg-a35/

Excellent

[@johnny02128]

I have to disagree with the looks. The front of the AT4 is nice, but that rear is not. The CLA has the looks at every angle. The interior is also ok. The Germans do it better.

[@bliglum]

The CLA's goofy FWD proportions ruin it. CT4 looks miles better.

[@DoorisJ]

Come on Cadillac, a Toyota Corolla comes standard with full speed radar cruise control so can all your cars.

[@VARITHMS]

Cadillac really went for the drivetrain on this one. I wasn't impressed with the interior quality and space. The infotainment screen is small and looks like an afterthought. It has less safety features than a Nissan Altima. The driving factor would really have to be good.

[@twystedhumour]

RWD driving dynamics is really THAT different, so i'm a bit confused as to why people would compare it to a FWD car. BTW, i appreciate the "less" safety features. something blaring at you at inordinate times is just disconcerting, and you're just driving normally.

[@VARITHMS]

@@twystedhumour I'm not the person buying the car other people are. It's the other people I have to deal with on a daily basis. I dive 100-150k miles per year. You'll never tell me there are enough safety features. If you so choose to disable them so be it. I'd be willing to bet you've never pulled a lifeless body out of a car that could have prevented it's own accident. The sensor don't do anything unless you're in the wrong. With a few exceptions to miss-markings in construction zones and few other thing. I will agree that fwd cars over 200-/+ horse power just don't feel right.

[@chriseaton2730]

I see Cadillac copied the bloated diaper look for the trunk from the 2005-2010 M6.

[@RANDsreviews]

No on 22

[@stupid0nut]

Not a fan of this new Caddy design language. Inside and out it looks less luxurious than the old designs. Only upgrade I see is the new dashboard. The old dashboard was so ugly and kept me away from the old models.

[@Joeromano95]

Nice Chevy.

I had a range of comments on this video but I lost all of them when you mentioned the fuel economy. Correct me if I’m wrong, but in my very aggressively driven Mercedes-Benz Metris passenger van- over 5000 lbs with my wife and I aboard as it is usually driven, which I often barrel down the NJ Turnpike bouncing off its 101-mph speed limiter, driven no less than 10 mph over the speed limit except in traffic, I get about 19.9 mpg over the 5 years (well, four years, 11 months, and some-odd days) and 125k miles. This tiny little nebbish of a Cadillac didn’t manage even 2 MPG over my gigantic van? That thing is cheap. Also, it happens to be inexpensive.
