Overview

The 2020 Cadillac CT4-V Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the compact sedan class. With a standalone trim on offer, the Cadillac CT4-V has a base MSRP of $45,490 and competes directly with the Kia Stinger GT Sedan, the BMW M340i Sedan, and the Infiniti Q50 RED SPORT 400 Sedan. Only a 2.7L turbocharged Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 10-Speed Automatic transmission. Together, they produce 325 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 5.1 seconds, the CT4-V maintains a combined fuel economy of 23 MPG. Cadillac offers the CT4-V in 9 stunning colors, with the Wave Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

With just one trim and a plethora of options on offer, we recommend the 2020 Cadillac CT4-V Sedan with the optional AWD ($500) along with the Driver Assist Package ($1,100). While the former gives enhances the overall driveability, the latter adds advanced adaptive cruise control, and enhanced automatic emergency braking.
