CADILLAC CT5

The 2026 Cadillac CT5 is a rear-wheel-drive-biased luxury mid-size sedan available in four trims across two distinct families: the standard CT5 (Premium Luxury and Sport) powered by a turbocharged inline-4, and the performance-oriented CT5-V Series (CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing) with V6 and supercharged V8 engines respectively. A significant update for 2026 is the addition of the 33-inch Horizon Display — now standard across all CT5 trims — replacing the previous 10.2-inch infotainment screen.
