The 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing brings impressive performance on the race track, but without sacrificing any of the luxury and coddling expected of a model bearing the Cadillac crest. As such, the CT5-V Blackwing makes for a fantastic street machine, and now, the new hot-to-trot sedan’s fuel economy figures have been released in Canada.
The 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is powered by the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine, the same engine used in high-end speed machines like the C7 Chevy Corvette Z06, Chevy Camaro ZL1 / ZL1 1LE, and third-generation Cadillac CTS-V. Cradled by the CT5-V Blackwing, the LT4 produces 668 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 659 pound-feet of torque at 3,600 rpm. Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels.
Fuel economy figures differ slightly between models equipped with the standard six-speed manual and those equipped with the optional 10-speed automatic, with the former rated at 18.3 L/100 km in the city, 11.4 L/100 km on the highway, and 15.2 L/100 km combined, and the latter rated at 18.1 L/100 km in the city, 10.7 L/100 km on the highway, and 14.8 L/100 km combined. As such, the 10-speed automatic is the more economical option.
Check out the full fuel economy breakdown below. For reference, we also included the fuel economy for the 2019 Cadillac CTS-V with the 8-speed automatic, which also features the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine.
| Model | Transmission | City (L/100 km) | Highway (L/100 km) | Combined (L/100 km) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing | 6-speed manual | 18.3 | 11.4 | 15.2 |
| Model | Transmission | City (L/100 km) | Highway (L/100 km) | Combined (L/100 km) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2019 Cadillac CTS-V | 8-speed automatic | 17.1 | 11.0 | 14.3 |
To note, these figures more or less line up with the U.S. fuel economy figures for the CT5-V Blackwing, which GM Authority covered previously. For reference, the EPA rates the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing at 13 mpg city, 21 mpg highway, and 15 mpg combined when equipped with the six-speed manual, and 13 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 16 mpg combined when equipped with the 10-speed automatic.

These cars should be rated by smiles per gallon , not miles per gallon 😊😊😊😊😊, because on the track it might get 4.5 mpg.
