The 2025 Cadillac CT5 debuted in September 2023, unveiling a much-anticipated midcycle refresh for the luxury sedan. The updates include an updated front fascia and a completely revamped cockpit chock full of the very latest technology the luxury marque has to offer. Unsurprisingly, these upgrades come at a premium, as the price tag for the 2025 CT5 will be noticeably higher than its 2024 model year predecessor. Below, Cadillac Society breaks down pricing for the 2025 CT5.
As Cadillac Society was first to report, the 2025 Cadillac CT5 will ditch the base Luxury trim, making the CT5 Premium Luxury the new entry level model. That change will make the refreshed sedan’s starting price considerably more expensive than the 2024 CT5. Specifically, the “base” 2025 CT5 Premium Luxury 350T with rear-wheel drive will start at $48,990; for comparison, the base 2024 CT5 Luxury carried a starting MSRP of $39,790.
Comparing apples to apples (or trim to trim), the $48,990 starting price for the 2025 CT5 Premium Luxury will have a starting price that’s $4,700 higher than that of the 2024 CT5 Premium Luxury. Meanwhile, the Sport trim level will have a starting price that’s $4,500 higher than the equivalent trim level offered for the 2024 model year.
It’s also worth noting that the 2025 Cadillac CT5 makes several technologies standard that were previously optional for the 2024 model. These include Super Cruise, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power sunroof and several active safety features.
Check out the table below for a detailed breakdown of 2025 Cadillac CT5 pricing. Note that all prices listed include the $1,395 destination freight charge:
| Trim Level | Drivetrain | Powertrain | 2025 MSRP + DFC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Luxury 350T | RWD | Turbo 2.0L I4 LSY | $48,990 |
| Premium Luxury 350T | AWD | Turbo 2.0L I4 LSY | $50,990 |
| Sport 350T | RWD | Turbo 2.0L I4 LSY | $49,990 |
| Sport 350T | AWD | Turbo 2.0L I4 LSY | $51,990 |

| Premium Luxury 550T | AWD | Twin-Turbo 3.0L V6 LGY | $54,490 |
The 2025 Cadillac CT5 retains the pre-refreshed model’s powertrain lineup. That starts with the turbocharged 2.0L I4 engine (production code LSY) as standard, which is capable of 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Models with this engine carry the 350T badge on the decklid. The twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine (production code LGY) is optional, boasting 335 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. Models with this engine are badged 550T. Rear-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional, with the GM 10-speed automatic transmission equipped as standard.
Production of the 2025 CT5, which rides on the luxury marque’s Alpha 2 platform, will commence in April 2024 at the Cadillac Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.
