The Radiant Red Tintcoat color is an extra-cost item that adds an additional $1,225 to the luxury sedan’s price. It is available on all three “regular” CT5 trim levels – Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport – and can be combined with all four interior colorways:

• Cinnamon with Jet Black accents

The 2023 Cadillac CT5 arrives with just a handful of changes and updates over the 2022 model, including adding the inclusion of the Driver Assist Package as standard as well as the addition of the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system to the options list. The 2023 CT5 also gets the new Bronze Accent Package on the CT5 as well as on the CT5-V, as well as a new CT5 Blue Accent package, while losing the CT5 Diamond Sky Special Edition Package.

The luxury sedan is underpinned by the Alpha 2 platform and is offered with the turbocharged 2.0L I4 (production code LSY), rated at 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This boosted four-cylinder is standard on the Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport trim levels. Meanwhile, the twin-turbo 3.0L V6 (production code LGY), rated at 335 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque, is optional on the CT5 Premium Luxury. Both engines are mated to the luxury marque’s 10-speed automatic transmission. All aforementioned CT5 trims are offered in either rear- or all-wheel drive.
