Cadillac was kind enough to grace us with studio images of the upcoming 2020 Cadillac CT5, and we have since seen it out and about, roaming real world streets.

Our questions should be answered soon enough, as the new Cadillac CT5 is slated to make its public debut later this month at the New York International Auto Show.
