The refreshed 2025 Cadillac CT5 made its big debut in September 2023 at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, bringing the much-anticipated mid-cycle update to the luxury sedan. The update is headlined by a reworked front end and overhauled cockpit, making it a hot commodity in the luxury sedan segment. Now, the refreshed 2025 Cadillac CT5 is finally arriving at dealers, putting it one step closer to the hands of its buyers.
According to an inventory search on the luxury marque’s website, there are just over 1,000 units of the 2025 Cadillac CT5 that are marked as “In Transit” or “Available Now.” Approximately two-thirds of these vehicles are Premium Luxury models, while the remaining third are the Sport trim. Just over half are all-wheel-drive models.
To note, the CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing have not yet begun shipping to dealers, as they will arrive later this year.
Setting the 2025 Cadillac CT5 apart from its pre-refresh predecessor is a reworked front fascia. It features a larger grille and new signature lighting with uninterrupted vertical lighting strips, which extend from the outer edges of the headlights to the bottom of the front fascia, hemming in the new stacked headlight design and horizontally oriented turn signals.
Inside, the 2025 CT5 now features a massive curved screen that spans the width the gauge cluster as well as the center stack display. Lifted directly from the Cadillac Lyriq, the screen has now made its way to the refreshed Cadillac XT4, second-gen CT6 and second-gen XT5 (both of the last two models are exclusive to the Chinese market). This screen allows access to advanced infotainment features like Google built-in with Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play, as well as OnStar and its available 5G Wi-Fi hotspot.
Both the Premium Luxury and Sport trims feature the 2.0L I4 engine (production code LSY) as standard, which is capable of 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The boosted four is paired with the 10-speed automatic transmission. The Premium Luxury trim can be upgraded to the twin-turbo 3.0L V6 engine (production code LGY) which produces a more potent 335 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque.
Production of the 2025 CT5 is handled at the Cadillac Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan, where assembly kicked off in May. Pricing for the 2025 CT5 Premium Luxury in rear-wheel-drive (RWD) guise starts at $48,990 while that of the 2025 CT5 Sport starts at $49,990, and customers can now build and price the luxury sedan via the online configurator.
