Outside, we find new styling with an updated front fascia and a lower, wider front grille. In the sides of the fascia, the refreshed 2025 Cadillac CT5 Cadillac shows off new signature lighting with unbroken vertical lines bookending stacked LED headlamps.
Cadillac CT5 Sport trim levels incorporate a performance black mesh grille with black surrounds, while exterior paint options now include Deep Space Metallic and Typhoon Metallic, both of which will be offered for an extra up-charge. Wheel sizes include 18-inch, 19-inch, and 20-inch options.

Much more aggressive and modern looking.
Nice job by the Cadillac team
I do not understand why Cadillac could not manage to get this out as a 2024 model.
they werent allowed. the decided against updates for MY24 in general
ask mary beer but she is too busy counting her bonuses to talk about that.
Really nice improvements. Still wish a manual was offered with the 3.0 and 2.7 for the CT4 Vs.
People don’t want manuals and it would cost too much to produce just to serve the 12 people left who want manuals.
Luxury minded folks aren’t really buying for the driving. Their foibles whittle the demand away.
Starts production in spring of 2024. Won’t be on lots until summer or about 10 months from now. Another example of GM hyping products (even a small refresh) way too early.
@Mark
Agree with that.
Mark:
How many Tesla Cyber Trucks are on dealer lots today?
Megeebee:
How many MY2024 are on dealer lots today that now look dated?
Very tasteful and well done improvements, the fascia especially gives a classic CTS vibe which isn’t a bad thing. The interior redesign was really needed. This should by rights have been a 2024 model though, dont know what caused the delay.
My comment isn’t about the car. That looks nice. At least from what you can see.
My comment is about why they can’t get a picture where you can see any detail? Why are they always so dark and full of shadows? This isn’t just on here. It’s the same on auto websites of many brands (Mazda’s is beyond terrible). Of the pictures above, there isn’t one that you can really see any true detail either on the outside or interior shots. Same with the article on the GMC Acadia.
Go to GM’s media website there you can download much higher resolution photos that show much better detail than the web publications are putting on their sites.
Meh: I was on another popular car stories site and they had the good pics on there.

want to see the real car, go in person on the lot. always been that way
A thing I do not understand in the automotive industry is the use of computer rendered images instead of photos. They never look good. Real photos always look better. GM did release a video of the car in white with the real car and it looks spectacular.
Raiti’s Rides has up their first look video and so does Redline Reviews. The car at the show is in Radiant Red Metallic and it is a great look. The guy from Raiti’s rides says that heated, ventilated and massage seats are standard in 2025.
New LED ambient interior lighting supporting 100 colors instead of just white. Apparently, that’s also standard.
I never thought I’d want a red car, but that paint job is GORGEOUS!
Anyway, go look at either of those first look reviews. The car looks astonishing,
And now it’s time For 2025 CT4!!!
2025 CT4 is also highly anticipated because the facelift 2025 CT5 has a great design.
“Guys….should we fix the fake C-pillar trim that everyone hates?”
Nah….lets just add more blank plastic to the front and some ATS headlights because we really can’t decide what direction we want the headlights to go and call it day….”
Nice screen though….its about time.
I would take that kink on the CT5 over what the CT4 has. The CT4 has a very generic early 2000’s look
on the c-pillar. The only real disappointment is the fact that they kept the mediocre LSY 2.0t.
Agreed!
While the front end is a pretty good update, it didn’t need it. They could’ve left it alone and gave much needed attention to that mess that is still going on around the C-Pillar.
Beautiful
Makes me wonder if GM tuned up the transmission and engine in harmony with each other in spite of the same cogs and horsepower/Torque output.
This is what the CT5 should had looked all along.
Nice. I still want a new wagon version.
And a CT4 or CT5 convertible, now that Camaro convertibles are ending. I think it is correct that CT4, CT5 and Camaro are all built on essentially the same chassis at tge Lansing Grand River plant.
How about more interior room?
Would need to be significantly reengineered.
I mean for Cadillac’s intended market for the CT5 it’s essentially class leading. I would say to make an improvement on the cargo capacity. But in terms of interior dimensions that’s really the only fault that it has is the cargo capacity.
So, all models now get the same basic fascia?
It has a really nice front end, but the rear needs help does not look luxurious it looks Hondaish. Not sure on the side view it is slick-looking but I like ornaments that make a statement.
Paper thin sheetmetal. Plastic chrome. Nondescript styling. Zero street presence.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

You should had taken off the last four models because they were not the greatest of that decade. The CT5 reminds me of the ’60s era Cadillacs in terms of design, technology, drivability and etc.
The last four models have been reliable, comfortable, and have that undeniable Cadillac ride. That, and they all get positive response on the street.
No one ever took a second look at the CTS-V or any of the 1992-2004 Sevilles that I owned.
They noticed my CTS-V wagon. It had a 900HP LMR built engine, black with a row of purple flames down the side, lowered on billets. I liked the car but sometimes it got way too much attention on the highways as guys in ‘Stangs Lambo’s and Maro’s wanting to race. I sold it and now enjoy my LS-powered ’56 Chevy handyman wag without the worry of competition.
Montravious, I agree with most of your list except for the fact that you left out the 1959 Eldorado Convertible and I can’t believe you would have a 1986 Cadillac Eldorado which is when GM redesigned the Eldorado ( which was a very big mistake IMO) from the 1979-1985 Eldorado which was one of the best running generations?
The cars listed are what I bought. I never owned a 59. I forgot to list the 1977 Seville I have.
Admittedly the downsized 1986 Eldorado wasn’t Cadillacs finest hour, however as the years have passed, it is aging well. It’s not as small as it seemed when new, and it handles better than any Eldorado that came before, and gets good gas mileage. When ever I take it to car events it gets nothing but praise from attendees, especially those under 30. Even the fossilized baby boomers that used to belittle it have started to come around to liking it.
I don’t see anyone commenting on google assistant instead of Apple CarPlay. I called on my 23 truck, it’s $24 a month for minimum service. I won’t be buying any new GM cars and paying for a service I have for free. Navigation is also hooked into it.
I thought I would keep OnStar after the demo period and then I saw the price for a year and guess what, I have no OnStar…
GM, unless the CT5-V has 450 hp to properly bridge the gap, don’t even bother. And make it look more distinctive.
Would like to see a notchback version of CT5 called CT Special or 50 Special. (play on the sixty specials of years back) Leave the current roof style as a sporty version.
What I would like to see is Cadillac release the Chinese only version of the XT4 I read about recently.
I hope the stitched wheel hub is standard on all versions. It’s an improvement you can’t avoid seeing every drive. Now if you could only get an interior without large amounts of black.
