2025 Cadillac CT5-V Production Start Pushed Back

While production of the “regular” CT5 models has already begun at the Lansing Grand River plant, the high-performance Cadillac CT5-V has yet to start rolling off the assembly line. Initially, the hotted up CT5 was scheduled to start production on July 14^th, 2024, but Cadillac Society has now learned that assembly of the high-performance luxury sedan has been pushed back and will start almost one week later. 

According to sources familiar with the matter, assembly of the refreshed 2025 Cadillac CT5-V is now scheduled to start on July 22^nd, 2024. As usual, please keep in mind that this date is tentative and subject to change at any time. Meanwhile, interested customers should note that the order books for the potent CT5-V opened on May 16^th.

As a reminder, the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V was reworked for the latest model year, and now boasts a reworked front fascia. A new set of headlights, arranged in a stacked pattern with an uninterrupted vertical lighting signature along the outside of the fascia, are present and accounted for. A closer look at the headlights reveals a unique V-Series Mondrian pattern etching. Overall, the new front fascia features more aggressive proportions, with a lower and wider motif befitting of the high-performance luxury sedan. 

The side profile and rear ends of the 2025 CT5-V are identical to their pre-refresh counterparts. Inside, however, the high-performance luxury sedan boast a new 33-inch color LED touchscreen infotainment display with Google services built in, lifted straight from the Lyriq and refreshed 2024 XT4. 

Under the hood, the Cadillac CT5-V retains the luxury marque’s twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine (production code LGY), good for 360 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. Output is routed exclusively via Cadillac’s 10-speed automatic transmission, with a rear-wheel-drive configuration as standard, while all-wheel-drive is optional.
