The GM Authority Take
Cadillac CT4 sales during the fourth quarter of 2020 represent the best quarterly sales performance for the subcompact luxury sedan since its launch, following:
The 2,721 CT4 deliveries during Q4 2020 represent a very healthy trajectory, one that we expect to continue well into subsequent quarters, so long as supply/production is uninterrupted.
It’s worth noting that the very first units of the CT4 began arriving at dealers during the second half of Q1 2020. The launch was quickly followed by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, which caused a two-month-long shutdown of U.S. GM production operations, including the GM Lansing Grand River plant that produces the CT4. As a result, initial shipments quickly sold out, resulting in sub-par inventory going into the second and third quarters.

Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Among Car And Driver’s 10Best Cars For 2025
Corsa Offers New Exhaust For Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing: Video
Comments
All quite on the good news. I’m seriously looking at a 2.7 CT4.
So far, I’m quite impressed with my CT4 2.0L Luxury.
You expect the trajectory to continue, meaning you expect in 2 more quarters it will be #1 in the segment……? Somebody get a mop, there’s Kool Aid all over the place in here.
But sadly The brain trust ruining GM are twitching like hobos with the D T’s in the self fulfilling anticipation of canceling the CT4 and 5.
Look on the bright side, sales can only get better. Too bad it won’t….
Hey Trolls,
The Blackwings will be arriving this summer. Pushing the CT4 to the next level. You may want to stop trying to push your head up your as until that happens.
Great news, hope they continue to do well. Hopefully GM produces these in ICE form while they are focused on that battery Cadillac CUVs. People still want luxury sedans. Especially RWD ones. Too many automakers are claiming “premium/luxury” these days. Especially the FWD automaker crowd. I haven’t drove the CT4 but I did test drive the CT5 sport. Although I hate 4 cylinders with a passion, this one was rather smooth and plenty of car for most people. So I can only imagine how good the Vs are. I won’t even think about how good the blackwings will be! Can’t afford the one I want just yet!
This comparison chart is the most asinine. CT4 is a D segment dropout because GM was too cheap to devote real engineering dollars to keeping it competitive in its original target segment which includes the 3 series, C Class and A4.
Really Gary? And you say this from what experience? The CT4 competes much more (aligns with) the BMW 3, C-class and A4 in nearly every way and it does it well. All with a lower MSRP in comparable form.
If so, why is it not being compared or marketed against the very models that you mention?
Size wise, those models have increased, ATS err CT4 received a dorky re-skin, M3 comes with AWD, next AMG C63 will have AWD. AWD M3’s with 503hp performance just released and it’s on par with if not surpasses CT5-V BW.
Tweener BS!
Better yet, it should be compared to the original vehicle segment that the ATS was engineered to compete in. It’d be interesting to see the comparo results of this versus the 3 series, C class and A4. It’ll either expose whether the CT4 is an underrated D segment competitor or dropout.
Cadillac is improving the Loki of their vehicles, they do not have huge droopy grille like their competitors.
