First launching for the 2020 model year, the Cadillac CT5 brings an all-new entry for the luxury four-door D-segment. In the cabin is a gauge cluster that includes both analog and digital readouts, with an analog speedometer and tachometer to the left and right, and one of two digital screens nestled between the two analog dials. Now, however, the upcoming 2021 model year will change that with a new all-digital, reconfigurable gauge cluster.

For now, images of the redesigned all-digital gauge cluster are unavailable. However, we do know that the fresh instrumentation will be a 12-inch color display mounted behind the steering wheel.
The new digital gauge cluster will be optional on specific trim levels of the future Cadillac CT5, including the Premium Luxury, the Sport, and the CT5-V. The new cluster will be offered as part of the Technology Package, which will also bundle in a Head-Up Display for even more digitized info.
Meanwhile, the base-model Cadillac CT5 Luxury will not offer the new gauge cluster. Instead, the base model will get the dual digital Driver Information Center display, the same feature equipped as standard on 2020 model year vehicles.
In terms of equipment offerings, the new 12-inch digital display offered with the 2021 CT5 will essentially replace the 8-inch diagonal color reconfigurable Driver Information Center offered as an optional upgrade for the 2020 model year.
Check out the tables below for a more complete breakdown of the gauge cluster features and availability:
| Standard | Optional | |
|---|---|---|
| Cluster: | Gauge cluster with dual digital Driver Information Center display | Gauge cluster with 8-inch diagonal color reconfigurable Driver Information Center display |
| RPO Code: | UDD | UHS |
| Standard | Optional | |
|---|---|---|
| Cluster: | Gauge cluster with dual digital Driver Information Center display | Gauge cluster with 12-inch diagonal color reconfigurable display |
| RPO Code: | UDD | UDV |
News that the CT5 is poised to receive a new all-digital gauge cluster should certainly be appreciated by fans and prospective buyers alike, especially when considering the majority of D-segment luxury sedans already come equipped with digital instrumentation. Indeed, the release of the 2020 model year without an all-digital display came as somewhat of a surprise given the sedan’s all-new electrical architecture. Nevertheless, the upcoming CT5 should be more competitive in its segment with this fresh digital feature arriving for the 2021 model year.

Standards as this is what we should be seeing in Cadillac models across the fleet from the CT4 to the XT6.
Cadillac’s new slogan “Standard Follower of the World”
Tough crowd. Cadillac was the Standard of the World. Now they’re literally trying to keep up with interiors of a KIA. Don’t get me wrong, still a fan and doesn’t change the fact I will get one. All I was trying to say was there was a greater sense of pride in the brand and now their slogan is….
Better late than never!
I’m really happy to see this news. I was looking at a CT5 on the showroom floor a few days ago and was shocked to see that it still didn’t have a full digital dash. I hope they offer the same thing in the CT4-V. The cheap-looking gauges on the ATS-V were something that always disappointed me.
This is great but I think the current gauge looks good because the analog sped and tach look nice, especially the font and the white backlight. its also worth mentioning that good ole’ BMW doesn’t have standard fully digital gauge clusters either.
Okay so it really sounds like GM wasn’t ready to release the CT4&5 yet. I would be livid if I just bought a 2020 CT series to just learn that a digital dashboard would be standard on the year 2 models
IT isn’t any different than us $80,000.00 Denali truck buyers now that GM has admitted their truck interior on said truck is cheap and fixing it for 2022.
I will wait for Cadillac to install the one sweeping dash in the CT5 before I will buy one, and if they don’t, no big deal, I am just done with Cadillac and GM all together for that matter at this point.
Just more cheap disappointment. and zero warranty to boot !
If you had a dollar for every time you typed out “I’m done with Cadillac and GM” you would have enough money to buy a car from another company…..
MrR, FYI, I have not bought one ! I just keep saying it because its true !
However i will continue to comment here from time to time otherwise GM simply will go broke again !
You dealerships on here, You are a joke ! You are one of the main problems with GM !
If you had one small idea of what the customer truly wanted GM would be flying high once again !
Like i also have said before !
If GM thinks they can turn out the same cheap junk of a Cadillac, in EV form, they are again and still WRONG !!!
Its the VALUE !! GM is and for a while now has been asking to much, for CHEAP JUNK !
Look at the CT4 – CT5, I think good looking vehicles ! ” GOOD ENOUGH ” anyway !
You know the new Cadillac standard ” GOOD ENOUGH ” or even GM standard, like the truck interior ” GOOD ENOUGH ”
However the vehicles are ” GOOD ENOUGH ” cheap junk !
The CT4 – CT5 have a Chevrolet interior, and that might, might be ” GOOD ENOUGH ” if that Chevrolet interior was great for a Chevrolet !
However it is NOT !
And look now already ! GM is upgrading this very vehicle ALREADY !
Better gauges than a Chevrolet !
Better steering wheel than a Chevrolet !
Larger screen standard than a Chevrolet !
Its still a day late and they will come up a dollar short, AGAIN —- STILL !!
Why you ask ?
I’m glad you asked that !
Because you can not make a Cadillac the same as a Chevrolet ! Cheap junk !
This very idea ! that GM thinks they mastered, of offering a Chevrolet for a Cadillac price, is what ruined Cadillac !
This very idea ! that GM thinks they mastered, was set to ruin the Denali name, just as it did the Cadillac name !
And it is because of people like you, and others here, ( I won’t mention names ) that continue to tell GM that their vehicles are ” GOOD ENOUGH ”
For the love of GOD, STOP !!
GM is finally turning a slooooooooooooooooow corner here !!
6.2 in a work truck !
10 speed offered in a cheaper truck !
Better than a cheap Chevrolet dash, in a Denali !
Better than a cheap Chevrolet dash, in the new Escalade !
This gauge cluster, along with other changes on the CT5 – CT4, with packages !
It is a step in the right direction !
However NOW, once again, like i have also said, O just so many times !!
IT IS TOO LATE !!!
Right now, the vehicles that GM boasted about, (( the new ONSAULT )), what is on the market, TODAY, on the lot !
Are Cheap junk ” GOOD ENOUGH ”
Outdone by a RAM !
Soon to be outdone by FORD, once again, and still !
And Cadillac, well, good thing their is the Escalade, and Ford is slowly eating into that ! And if GM didn’t get rid of that Cheap Junk 8 speed transmission, it would have continued even faster !
Changes are coming, they are LATE but are coming, we think !
However now look at where we are at in the cycle ! The economy , jobs, vehicle sales, average age of vehicles !
Now that GM is so sloooooooowly changing, who is their to notice ? Who will take advantage ?
The younger generation, and myself is burned ! DONE ! Tesla bound !
The older generation, no longer has the money, and the ones that do, are dying !!
Im glad the Taxpayer is still supporting the likes of GM, ( with the military contracts, etc. )
But we the people, have had enough !
GM Has messed up with old loved brands, Buick and Cadillac. They don’t know what they want to achieve. New Caddy CT range looks so Japanese, so much that if I were to choose in the basket, I will simply replace it with an Infinity Q series which is Japanese and kept to its originality not trying to be what is not, also for me, SADLY; Bye Bye Caddy and Buick, keep on trying to find out who you are.
Exactly right.
It’s like GM is trying to upset customers.
The CT4 will offer it too.

Why could not they made it when the car was launched?
Its better late than never, but Cadillac is soooo slow. Probably next year they will add an ambient lighting. In 3 years after that cheap rear console will be changed.
And why cant they show a pic of a new digital dash? Wtf is wrong with u Cadillac?
And why u plan to show Lyriq in august? Why not now? Its just a concept at the end of the day…
Hard to be their fan.
Will ALL current Cadillac vehicles (except All New Slade) be getting these Digital?
I mean they all share that Awful 2010’s looking Gauge cluster.
A little late to their own party. GM is trying to make this sound like news . . . They had full, reconfigurable digital clusters on the XTS starting in 2013. . . .
