2023 Cadillac CT5-V Gets Very Limited Availability

Supplier constraints have affected production of the 2023 Cadillac CT5-VCadillac Society has learned. As a result, availability of the performance-oriented sedan will be extremely limited. 

Production of the Cadillac CT5-V takes place at the Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan, but assembly will be constrained to just 20 percent . In other words, only 20 percent of all CT5-V units that the luxury marque planned to build will actually be produced. Since supplier constraints remain fluid, that figure is subject to change, however. 

Introduced in conjunction with the first-gen CT5 for the 2020 model year, the CT5-V is the mid-tier performance-oriented sedan that slots between the regular CT5 models (Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport) and range-topping CT5-V Blackwing in Cadillac’s lineup. It features a more powerful engine than the “regular” CT5 350T and 550T models, along with more capable handling, while maintaining approachability. Beyond the engine and suspension upgrades, the CT5-V features a unique mesh grille, V-Series “racing Mondrian” badging, and an upgraded, sportier rear diffuser.

As a reminder, the 2023 Cadillac CT5-V draws motivation from the turbocharged 3.0L V6 gasoline engine (production code LGY) rated at 360 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. That engine bolts to the luxury marque’s 10-speed automatic transmission, routing power to either the two rear wheels as standard, or to an optional all-wheel-drive system, available for a premium.

It’s important to note that the production constraints mentioned above only affect the CT5-V and do not extend to the CT5-V Blackwing super sedan. However, the CT5-V Blackwing hasn’t be completely unaffected by supplier issues. The Carbon Fiber 1 and Carbon Fiber 2 exterior accent packages are once again constrained for the 2023 model year, as well as Full Semi-Aniline Leather Front seats. However, these constraints do not prevent the ultra-high-performance CT5-V Blackwing from being built.
