General Motors has announced full pricing for the Cadillac CT4 in the United States, including the high-performance Cadillac CT4-V.
Prices will start at $33,990 for the Cadillac CT4 Luxury trim with rear-wheel drive. Adding all-wheel drive to the package will cost buyers an extra $2,600 for a total MSRP of $36,590. GM also throws in a heated steering wheel and heated front seats if the customer ticks the box for AWD.
Meanwhile, stepping up to the Cadillac CT4 Premium Luxury will raise the starting price to $38,490. Adding all-wheel drive to the Premium Luxury model will cost $3,200, as this also adds heated and cooled front seats to the package.
Sitting just below the range-topping Cadillac CT4-V in the lineup is the CT4 Sport, which will begin at $39,590. Cooled front seats are not lumped in with AWD on the Sport model, so adding AWD here only costs $2,600, bringing the MSRP to $42,190.
As we’ve covered in past articles regarding the 2020 Cadillac CT4, all models (save for the V-Series, which we’ll get to in a minute) feature a 2.0-liter turbocharged LSY four-cylinder engine rated at 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The only available transmission is an eight-speed automatic.
| 2020 Cadillac CT4 Luxury | 2020 Cadillac CT4 Premium Luxury | 2020 Cadillac CT4 Sport | 2020 Cadillac CT4-V | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RWD | $33,990 | $38,490 | $39,590 | $45,490 |
| AWD | $36,590 | $41,690 | $42,190 | $46,590 |
Pricing for the CT4-V will start at $45,490 before any optional extras. Cadillac charges just $1,100 to add AWD to the CT4-V, raising the price to $46,590. The CT4-V is powered by GM‘s 2.7-liter turbocharged L3B four-cylinder, which is good for 325 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. The only available transmission is a ten-speed automatic.
“We developed CT4 to appeal to youthful buyers in the luxury market who may be new to the Cadillac brand,” Cadillac design director Andrew Smith said of the sedan previously. “The vehicle was intended to draw attention, using a combination of great proportions, taut surfacing and Cadillac family details that hint at the athletic driving experience this vehicle offers.”

“The CT4-V is powered by the GM’s 2.7-liter turbocharged L3B four-cylinder, which is good for 325 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. Again, the only available transmission is an eight-speed automatic.
Are you sure? Official website states the V is equipped with 10 speed.
My mistake Boris thanks for pointing it out, fixed!
Alright Gm I like what I see, lets keep this up!
The volume trims for CT4 & CT5 will use a 10 speed, not an 8 speed. The 8 Speed is defective, and Cadillac will stop using that transmission from now on. The Base CT4 is the only vehicle with an 8 speed, and that’s a trim for the rental lots, dealers will only stock mid and high trims because those are easier to sell.
The pricing is attractive obviously but the design is rather familiar.
Micheal Simcoe took over from Ed Welburn on July 1, 2016; some three years ago. I’m guessing that means this product was developed under his supervision and it would’ve been developed while Johan de Nysschen was at the helm of Cadillac and pushing for a reinvention of the brand. Yet, CT4 is quite evolutionary rather than revolutionary. This is surprising.
When Bill Mitchell assumed the helm of GM Design from Harley Earl at the end of 1958, there was a very clear and notable change in the design of GM’s products as the Mitchell-era cars began to appear in 1962. Mitchell stripped away the bulbous shapes, excessive chrome, and fins in favor of crisper, more tailored lines. Similarly there is a clear delineation in GM design, if one looks for it, that begins to appear with early 1980’s GM products after Mitchell’s retirement and Rybicki taking charge. Mitchell’s crisp shapes begin to replaced with more organic and, frankly, less attractive cars that generally did not sell as well as their forebears.
Therefore, we are at a point in GM history where I’d expect to see a new look emerge. However, I’m not seeing a different or fresh “Simcoe-look” here. This CT4 looks like it could’ve been built in 2012 and really breaks no new ground. I don’t consider it unattractive but it isn’t going to draw a crowd or surprise either and I think GM really needs a new design direction. I was looking for Simcoe to deliver that. Time will tell.
I wasn’t around for the launch of Bill Mitchell’s designs but I imagine they had to have been quite surprising; shocking even. Among the Mitchell-era cars that I consider to be visually revolutionary are the 1963 Riviera, 1963 Corvette, 1966 Toronado, 1967 Eldorado, 1968 Corvette, 1970 Camaro and Firebird, 1971 Riviera, 1975 Seville, and his final design, the 1980 Seville.
I’d like to see Cadillac adopt a more aggressive posture in their future designs. CT4 and CT5 suggests that may not happen.
The same can be said about every single automaker in business right now and the CT4’s competitors. The Mercedes-Benz A-class, C-class, Audi A3, A4, BMW 2-series, 3-series, Acura ILX, and Lexus IS all look like they could’ve been built in 2012.
I don’t understand the ridiculous critiques that Cadillac gets and seems to be the only brand to receive them. The CT4’s exterior definitely looks more like an evolutionary design and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that since Cadillac’s previous art & science designs didn’t warrant a complete overhaul, just an evolved and more modern look.
I think the CT4 and CT5 both provide that. I feel like people will complain regardless of the design and who’s in charge. That’s just my opinion.
OK My question is the CT4-V with the turbo 4 w/325 HP, ok what will the next CT4-V up be with more HP. As I have read adnausem for months there will be 3 CT4-V’s with all different power plants. My question when will we see the others? Thank you. Do they even know what engines they will have?
Chevrolet’s 2.7-liter turbocharged L3B four-cylinder, which is good for 325 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque appears to be a good fit in a car where the load requirements aren’t as severe as that of a full size truck like the Silverado which means the 2.7L 4-cyl turbo should generate good mileage in Cadillac’s CT4.
That is a REALLY nice looking ATS. Can’t wait for the coupe!
Seriously though – If I had bought the last ATS Sedan with a base price around $37,000, I’d be REALLY p!ssed right now and asking for a refund check.
The new Malibu and Regal should benefit well from this platform.
Nope, as RWD can command a premium that no one would pay for as a Buick or Chev.
It would spread cost of the program since Alpha don’t sell that many units, a CT4 based Chevy would be excellent for a compact sedan here and a premium sedan for emerging markets.
For the US a Buick version of Camaro convertible is good for starters to replace Cascada also a Buick/Holden version of CT5 for international markets and a lwb CT5 based SS/Malibu replacement for Chevy, maybe a Park Ave version of CT6. Trucks/CUVs are the bread winners for GM family vehicles, why can’t the men have fun without being in a small-pickle pick up?.
I say again, it looks absolutely stupid having bright/chrome trim around the bottom and sides of the grill and dark/black trim across the top of the grill. It looks like a piece fell off. Sadly they probably won’t sell more than a couple thousand of these a year so nobody will notice.
What is the weight difference between the CT4-V RWD, and the CT4-V AWD?
