Overview

The 2020 Cadillac CT5-V Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan class. With a standalone trim on offer, the Cadillac CT5-V Sedan has a base MSRP of $48,690 and competes directly with the Mercedes-Benz AMG C 43 Sedan, the Dodge Charger R/T Sedan, and the Audi S4 Sedan. Only a 3.0L turbocharged V6 engine is offered, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 360 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds, the CT5-V maintains a combined fuel economy of 21 MPG. Cadillac offers the CT5-V in 8 stunning colors, with the Evergreen Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

With optional AWD and Driver Assist & Advanced Security Package, the 2020 Cadillac CT5-V makes a perfect go-to sedan. While the former helps the car drive safer in any weather condition, the latter makes a worthwhile contribution to the same by adding lane keep assist with lane departure warning, IntelliBeam headlamps, enhanced automatic emergency braking system, etc.
