The 2025 Cadillac CT5 was revealed late last year with an overhauled interior, updated exterior, and a host of premium technologies to make it a more formidable competitor among its peers. The updated luxury sedan features a wide range of exterior color options, and Cadillac Society breaks down the choices below.
The good news is that all nine exterior colors are offered on both “regular” 2025 CT5 trims – Premium Luxury and Sport. Only two colors from the list of exterior paint hues are no-cost: Black Raven (paint code GBA) and Summit White (paint code GAZ). All other colors cost extra, ranging from $625 to $1,225, depending on the hue.
As a reminder, 2025 CT5 lost one color – Steel Metallic (paint code GXU) – previously available on the 2024 model. The refreshed model gained two new paint options including Deep Space Metallic (color code GAI) and Typhoon Metallic (color code GBW), which indirectly replaced the discontinued Steel Metallic.
Take a look at the table below for a detailed guide to all nine 2025 Cadillac CT5 paint colors.
| Paint Color | Color Code | Cost | Premium Luxury | Sport |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Argent Silver Metallic | GXD | $625 | A | A |
| Black Raven | GBA | - | A | A |
| Crystal White Tricoat | G1W | $1,225 | A | A |
| Deep Space Metallic | GAI | $625 | A | A |
| Midnight Sky Metallic | GXF | $625 | A | A |

Regardless of color, the base engine for the refreshed 2025 Cadillac CT5 remains the turbocharged 2.0L I4 engine (production code LSY), rated at 237 horsepower 258 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, a power upgrade is offered on the Premium Luxury trim in the form of the optional twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine (production code LGY), rated at 335 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is optional across all trims. Both engines bolt to the 10-speed automatic transmission.
As a reminder, the base Luxury trim was dropped from the CT5 trim level lineup, bumping the starting price to $48,990 for the Premium Luxury with standard rear-wheel-drive or $51,990 for all-wheel-drive. Meanwhile, the Sport trim with rear-wheel-drive starts at $49,990 and increases to $51,990 when all-wheel-drive is added. Both aforementioned prices include the destination freight charge of $1,395.
