As GM Authority reported way back in October 2023, the Cadillac CT5 is due for a mid-cycle refresh sometime in the near future. Now, new spy photographs reveal that the updated luxury sedan will feature a new widescreen display housing.
New photographs capture a CT5 prototype that clearly boasts a new widescreen display. In fact, this panel contains both the digital driver instrument cluster and the infotainment system touchscreen. Notably, a similar setup has been revealed in other recently introduced or refreshed Cadillac models like the 2024 Cadillac XT4 and Cadillac Lyriq, as well as the 2024 Cadillac Escalade.
As a reminder, the 2024 Cadillac CT5 won’t be introducing a mid-cycle revision for the luxury sedan. Instead, it is now expected that the refreshed CT5 will arrive on the scene for the 2025 model year, or possibly even as a 2024.5 model-year vehicle.
In regard to the mid-cycle refresh itself, the front fascia of the CT5 will receive a thorough update that will include a new set of headlights and a revised grille design. Meanwhile, the rear fascia will likely carry over to the new model largely unchanged. Notably, the controversial C-pillar design kink will remain.
As far as the interior is concerned, the aforementioned widescreen display housing setup is expected to be the most notable update.
Powertrain specifications are also expected to be largely the same as the current model, which include the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine, twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 LGY gasoline engine, and supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine.
Under the body panels, the refreshed Cadillac CT5 will continue to ride on the Alpha 2 platform. Meanwhile, production of the North American-spec CT5 takes place at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.

Nice!

“As GM Authority reported way back in October 2023….”
Way back…….4 months from now.
VERY NICE BUT INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, DISPLAY TAKES IT’S STYLING QUE FROM THE DASHBOARD OF THE 1960 ELECTRA 225. THE OLD BECOMES NEW AGAIN!
It’s a nice upgrade, to be sure…but I’m really curious about how much longer the Alpha cars (CT4/5) will carry on after Camaro is done. With resources and production capacity being refocused towards EV products, does this MCE arrive for the 2025 MY, just in time for Alpha to be phased out after 2027? Hard to imagine that they’d continue both models 8-10 years after the previous ATS went for 7 and CTS for 6…though THEY never got the interior refresh that might have solved many critics’ complaints.
One thing’s for sure – the new interior will help to justify the MSRP in the mind of the shopper. Hopefully the bigger screen isn’t limited to only the top trim levels.
Other than the widescreen, there is no telling what other interior enhancements this model will get as well since this is a ’25 model.
The 2024 is fine for me.
How about offering a long wheelbase version?
[ CT6 has entered the chat ]
Cadillac needs to bring the CT6 (with a 6 cylinder engine) back to America! I would never have imagined the CT5 being the largest sedan that Cadillac sells in America.
It is and it is too small for anyone. I am 76, 5’10”,180 and I have to struggle to get in and out. I just got this car 5 months ago and would trade it in if Cadillac had a bigger car. I do not want an SUV because they look like a station wagon.
Since the 2020-2022 model years were like 1 year or less of sales, because to Covid,
it makes sense to continue on with just a refresh to CT4/CT5, when otherwise the next gen would be due.
They also may be starting to see that EV replacements won’t happen as fast as they thought.
With a refresh in 2025, that should mean that there will at least be a 2026 model year.
Also note the GMA reports with tail pipe emissions testing, possibly meaning a new engine option or
more power in an existing engine.
I’m surprised these models aren’t only for China. Happy to see they’re keeping at least one sedan alive in the US. At least they know an all electric future is not one that will be lucrative.
Currently driving a BMW 540. I love the looks of the CT5-V and would make the switch but the trunk capacity in the Cadillac is class-leading terrible. It is a joke. Too bad.
