The 2023 Cadillac CT5-V arrived with just a handful of changes and updates over the 2022 model,  including a new Driver Assist Package as standard and Bronze Accent Package. However, the 2023 CT5 loses the Diamond Sky Special Edition Package, replacing it with the new CT5 Blue Accent package.

The 2023 CT5-V is powered by a higher-output version of the twin-turbo 3.0L V6 LGY, rated at 360 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque, and connects to the GM 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel-drive is standard and all-wheel-drive is optional.

The Cadillac CT5 rides on the GM Alpha 2 platform, which is shared with the Cadillac CT4. Production kicked off at the GM Lansing Grand River plant on July 18^th, 2022. Production of the 2024 model year will start on July 10^th, 2023.
