The 2023 Cadillac CT5 adds three new exterior colors to its palette: Argent Silver Metallic, Midnight Steel Metallic, and Radiant Red Tintcoat. Here’s our first look at the new Red hue.

Assigned RPO code GNT and touch-up paint code WA-170H, Radiant Red Tintcoat is one of eight exterior colors offered on the luxury sedan, which include:

  • Black Raven
  • Blaze Orange Metallic
  • Crystal White Tricoat
  • Summit White
  • Wave Metallic
  • Argent Silver Metallic (new for 2023)
  • Midnight Steel Metallic (new for 2023)
  • Radiant Red Tintcoat (new for 2023)

The Radiant Red Tintcoat color is an extra-cost item that adds $1,225 to the sedan’s price. It is available on all three “regular” CT5 trim levels – Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport – as well as on the Cadillac CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing, and can be combined with all interior colorways.

For reference, here are all four available interior colorways offered on the 2023 CT5:

  • Cinnamon with Jet Black accents
  • Jet Black with Jet Black accents
  • Sangria with Jet Black accents
  • Whisper Beige with Jet Black accents

The 2023 Cadillac CT5 arrives with just a handful of changes and updates over the 2022 model, including adding the Driver Assist Package as standard and the addition of the GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system to the options list of the CT5-V Blackwing. In addition, a CT5 Bronze Accent Package joins the lineup, while the Diamond Sky Special Edition Package is deleted.

The Cadillac CT5 rides on the GM Alpha 2 platform and features the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine, rated at 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque on the Luxury, Premium Luxury and Sport models. The twin-turbo 3.0L V6 LGY, rated at 335 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque, is available as an option on the Premium Luxury. Each engine is mated to the GM 10-speed automatic transmission. All of these trims are available in both rear-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive configurations.

Production of the 2023 Cadillac CT5 began at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan on July 18th, 2022.

  • Select paint for GM & Chev products have an additional charge of $ 450.00 How can GM justify $1,225 to have a Cady painted red. The announcements by GM on increased charges makes no sense. It appears that GM really doesn't care about gouging their customer and is just becoming more greedy, or they really don't want to stay in business. It would be interesting to know the stats on how many loyal GM customers have changed to KIA/Ford/Chrysler/Toyota. I am happy that the Executives of GM are not Air Traffic Controllers.

  • I have changed to Chrysler & Ram, after over 50 yrs all GMC & Chevy/Caddy. They care more about world wide than the USA.
