The 2020 Cadillac CT5 will be the second vehicle from the brand to include the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system. In the brand’s official release, Cadillac said the technology will be available in the 2020 calendar year on select models.
The 2020 Cadillac CT5 follows the CT6 sedan as the second vehicle that will offer the hands-free driving system for use on mapped highways and freeways. The system cannot be used on city streets or local roads. The brand reiterated that Super Cruise can be enabled on 130,000 miles of U.S. and Canadian limited-access freeways.
Cadillac’s system works with an array of cameras, lidar, map data, radar, and precision GPS to operate the system. The brand continues to pitch Super Cruise as the only true hands-free driving system on the market. However, drivers must continue to pay attention to the road. If a camera detects the driver is not paying attention, it will sound audible alerts and display messages to tell the driver he or she must retake control of the vehicle.
If the driver is not responsive, Super Cruise has the ability to pull the car onto the shoulder, come to a stop, and contact OnStar for emergency services.
Super Cruise joins a roster of technology and active safety equipment the 2020 CT5 will offer. Features include automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, a safety alert seat, side blind zone alert, and more.
Cadillac plans to equip every vehicle it sells with Super Cruise beginning next year. We’ll likely see the 2020 Escalade also feature the technology before it comes to the XT4, XT5, and XT6 crossovers. Eventually, GM plans to spread the technology to other brands.

And no ambient interior lighting and an analog gauge cluster from the 90’s.
I doubt people want or care about those things as much as you seem to think. Female dogs on here
GM Beancounters are destroying this Brand once again.
Cadillac becomes very conservative brand. Average design inside and out with a lot of bugs like 3 volume controls (2 strange knobs below non integrated touchscreen), plastic C-pillar, no digital cluster, black evrywhere, small trunk. CT5 looks like cheap chinese copy of Escala. Escala use elegant and clear design language but CT5 looks like something on a half way – no possitive emotion. Even its name is tragedy without soul.
Don’t forget NO Bang 7 Olufsen Upgraded Stereo let alone Bose Panaray.
Folks can downvote but why come out with Panaray and not put it in any other vehicle?. Performance series should be the mid tier or base system. People like me will pay for a better audio experience.
@91fairladyz:
I couldn’t agree more. I couldn’t give a rats a – – about a sunroof, let alone the over sized things they are putting in every car these days. I couldn’t give a rats a – – about huge rims with summer tires. The list goes on and on, but the one thing I would pay extra for is a superior sound system and the Panaray is just that.
Let me order my car with the smaller rims, no sunroof, and the better sound system without having to take a bunch of stuff I don’t want to get it!
So Many GM haters flock to this site
@Next2pool:
I can’t speak for the others, but I’m certainly not a GM hater. In fact, I’ve been a huge defender of GM/Cadillac for many years and even at times when they probably didn’t deserve my defense. For me, my comments aren’t about hating GM but in fact my desire for them (specifically Cadillac) do get it right! In my comment below, I call them out for what I believe to be a terrible dash/center console design and layout. Directly after that, I compliment Cadillac on the Super Cruise as well as the Panaray Bose system. Both very good and thus they deserve credit.
Basically, I’m an equal opportunity basher! Just ask anyone I work with at the Volvo/Mazda store. I do plenty of bashing on these products where warranted! haha.
Exactly. I really want to love GM again. It’s just hard when they keep putting out cars that are not competitive in price or performance (or, often, design).
It has nothing to do with GM haters you asshole. It is that this car is so “underwhelming” with awful “awkward” styling. I own 200,000 sharesof GM stock and $600,000 worth of GM vehicles so don’t you dare call me a GM “hater”….
This vehicle is so awful compared to the CTS. Thank god they still make the CT6…..
This CT5, along with the XT6, are a step backward for Cadillac……
Two things. First, this is the best look (by pics) of the interior/dash that I’ve seen so far. It’s not good. Way too many buttons and seems very cluttered. Totally disappointing especially after looking at the Lincoln Corsair’s interior pics. Of course, it always takes seeing the car in person to be totally sure.
Second, I’ve been trained on Volvo’s “Pilot Assist” system which frankly sucks. It’s a total joke. Recently I was on a Cadillac sponsored ride and drive event and had the chance to experience the Super Cruise. It was fantastic. I’m still not a huge fan of the self-driving thing, but GM’s system is just great. I was however, more impressed with the Bose Panaray. I’ve never heard a sound system that good which includes the Volvo’s Bowers/Wilkins which also sounds great. But the Panaray is just better.
Sure, compare the best driver assist tech to Volvo’s, which is famous for crashing into journalists. That’s totally fair.
Complaining about buttons? Sorry, you’re in the minority with that complaint.
So you like the look of that interior? You don’t see the massive amount of buttons below the screen and on the steering wheel? Ok then.
Really? I found the Corsair’s interior to be less than amazing. There are nice elements to the design, don’t get me wrong, but the floating center stack looks like it was tacked on and poorly thought out. The glossy black and chrome accents are going to be a constant fingerprint & dust magnet, as well as being reflection nightmare. It looks as though any sunlight shining on it will be directed up at your face in such a way that not even sunglasses will be able to block that light. I’m also not a fan of the wide horizontal lines that seem to duplicate the center air vents.
They do have a very stylish touchscreen interface though. Very nice graphical design.
The Corsair interior is atrocious. A tacked on screen that like a 2014 Mazda, and the control panel looks like a double din stereo.
