The Cadillac CT4 and Cadillac CT5 luxury sedans combine passenger-coddling cabins with a range of tech features, including the GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system. Now, Cadillac CT4 and Cadillac CT5 models equipped with Super Cruise will be eligible to receive an over-the-air update that will add the Automatic Lane Change feature.
Cadillac announced that the over-the-air update will be available this summer, and will be available for a fee. For now, Cadillac has yet to detail how much it will cost owners to get the Automatic Lane Change upgrade.
As GM Authority covered previously, 2021 Cadillac Escalade and 2022 Cadillac Escalade models equipped with Super Cruise are also eligible for the Automatic Lane Change update. In addition, properly equipped Escalade models will be eligible to receive the Super Cruise Trailering feature as well.
To note, approximately 12,000 units of the Cadillac CT4, Cadillac CT5, and Cadillac Escalade are compatible with the new Super Cruise features via the over-the-air update.
For those who may be unaware, the GM Super Cruise technology provides drivers with a hands-free driving experience by assuming control of the vehicle, taking control of the throttle and steering inputs to provide relief to drivers on extended highway stints. The feature was first introduced with the Cadillac CT6, and is currently available for activation on 200,000 miles of North American freeways.
The Automatic Lane Change feature enables the system to automatically initiate a lane change without steering input from the driver.
The over-the-air update and other tech features are powered via GM’s latest Global B electronic architecture. As GM Authority covered previously, Global B also provides additional processing power, more efficient communication among onboard systems, and an improved user experience as compared to previous electronic underpinnings.
As for the greasy bits, the Cadillac CT4 is available with the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine and the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine, while the Cadillac CT5 can be had with either the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine or the twin-turbo 3.0L V6 LGY gasoline engine. Both vehicles ride on the GM Alpha 2 platform, and both are produced at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.

Offering a fee for this OTA update feature comes across as taking advantage of the current owners who wants it. Makes sense to include the feature for free or include the feature after the three year free service is up since Cadillac charges a monthly subscription for Super Cruise anyway.
Well, with Tesla charging $12,000 for FSD, this seems pretty generous.
The thing is that the Escalade & the CT models are on the advance electrical platform that allow the OTA updates. The Escalade has auto lane change which the CT models should had included also. Therefore, it does not make sense to charge the CT owners a fee since Super Cruise is the same for all models.
And Tesla is sorry and greedy.
Then don’t buy it if you have such an issue with it. Life doesn’t have to cater to you or be fair welcome to the real world.
I’m making an observation. If there is a fee, so beat it but it does not make it right if GM is selling up on the customer since some on here had stated the CT had Lane Change included in the beginning of the model year which I thought it was but not available now. Seems that GM is renouncing to not include it and charge a fee instead on the lesser models.
Not sure why you had a problem of my concern here and make it seem like I have an issue with it severely which rubs you the wrong way. There are a lot of things people have issues with in life that is not fair but people deal with it because they have to as a necessity. Will I buy the CT model with Super Cruise and pay a fee to add the feature? Yes but I don’t agree with the fee and like it but it is a necessary feature to have.
Look at all those poor iIlliterates giving me thumbs-down votes. The reason for it that those poor souls have no life and do not know anything else. Plus, they envy my superior insight into GM.
Hey Andy, I know it’s you highjacking my username. Nice try though. Regular posters who read my posts know how I write and conduct myself on here. So please Andy, grow up and behave like a human being if you know how.
Also, the thumb downs don’t mean anything to me and care less. I am sure you are loving my posts getting thumb downs which says a lot about your character and how you conduct yourself as a twerp on these forums.
Wrong. I have no reason to use your username. You can blame me all you want I don’t care about I don’t and won’t use your name. It’s easy enough for me to pick you apart without having to act like you. Go check the Cadillac ct4 article from yesterday about the rosewood color. Someone tried using my name about the micro fiber user caps.
I don’t believe you and you are a liar as always. I have a reason not to believe you since you had been making fun of my obvious mistake and you are the one who wrote that micro-fiber mirror crap on the CT4 forum yesterday to make fun and stalk me like a juvenile. To top it off, it was you who wrote to his own post trying to make like your username was high-jacked which it wasn’t.
When will you give up acting a fool? You are way too old to behave in this manner. You are a super sad human being in life and needs a head shrink with oral prescription. You are nothing more than a sociopath. Everyone on this forum knows your pattern, Andy. And it is very toxic.
Then contact gm authority through email and ask them, do you need help looking it up? As I said before I don’t care what you believe.
Why do I get the feeling you aren’t a doctor?
Why is it that you try to analyze posters on whatever they say to determine that they are a physician, attorney, accountant or expert? It seems to be a pattern in every post you comment bug you in a wrong way.
If the thumbs down don’t mean anything to you then why bring it up in the first place? Guys I see on here that don’t care never mention it because they don’t care.
Read the post I replied to from whomever used my username and you understand. I’m not going to waste my time explaining something simple.
I was not aware that the 2021 CT 4 and 5 had Super Cruise as an option. Are there really any 4’s and 5’s “out there” with Super Cruise??
My 2021 CT5V has Super Cruise with automatic lane change, came that way from the factory. So I really do not understand the upgrade. Ordered the car Feb. 2021, was finally delivered end of November. Came with all the options, nothing taken away due to the microchip shortage.
I can’t find any 2021 CT5’s with Super Cruise. Did they build any CT5’s in 2021 with Super Cruise? It appears they aren’t allowing you to order it on the 2022 model year. Makes you wonder about the lane change option.
Ahh… extra fees for extra intangible features commence. Learned from Tesla. A different and lazy breed of motorist will be purchasing these offerings.
Wish they would do the lane change upgrade for my 2020 CT6 Premium Luxury with Super Cruise. I’d be willing to pay a “nominal” fee for the upgrade.
Surely GM/Cadillac hasn’t forgotten about the other real luxury Cadillac sedans with Super Cruise…or have they?!?! China is getting an updated CT6, so why can’t the U.S. where the Cadillac was born? We are not all CUV/SUV and mall crawler pickup lovers and wanters.
“China is getting an updated CT6, so why can’t the U.S. where the Cadillac was born?”
Because we didn’t buy them. This is pretty simple.
Go complain about spelling mistakes again.
Let’s talk about the issue at hand instead. The sales numbers for the CT6 didnt justify its existence.
Americans weren’t interested in it enough, but the Chinese were. These numbers are easy to find.
Shooting the messenger won’t help, but if it makes you feel better, go ahead.
You aren’t the messenger. You just serve as the grammar nazi on the forum.
And yet you just keep attacking me instead of what I said.
I agree, although the CT6 was only outsold by the S-Class they sell much more CT6 in China then in the US. With the 2nd Gen CT6 inbound who knows if it will roll down the assembly line as CT4/5 dose.
I hope they put it in the BLACKWING why wouldn’t they….oh it’s GM
Actually Consumer’s Report praises Cadillac’s Super Cruise not much else though
