Cadillac has unveiled the refreshed 2025 Cadillac CT5-V, showing off the sporty sedan’s new styling, updated cabin, and new standard tech items. General Motors debuted the refreshed 2025 Cadillac CT5 last September, but only the Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport trim levels.
The new look is headlined by a revised front fascia that includes reshaped air intakes, angular grille surrounds, and long, vertical lighting signatures running down either side of the front end. Three new exterior colors are offered as well, including Drift Metallic Deep Space Metallic, and Typhoon Metallic. A quartet of exhaust tips are mounted in the rear.
Further updates were made to the interior, where a 33-inch diagonal LED display now dominates the dash. There’s also a new walk up and walk away lighting choreography sequence, complete with a lit Cadillac crest on the back of the display that welcomes the driver on approach. Super Cruise is now included as standard on the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V, as is the new Driver Attention Assist feature. OnStar is optional.
As for the mechanical bits, the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V once again cradles the twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 LGY gasoline engine, rated at 360 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. Output is routed through the GM 10-speed automatic transmission, feeding either the rear wheels or all four wheels. Performance Traction Management and Launch Control are both included as standard, as is Magnetic Ride Control and an electronic limited-slip differential.
“Cadillac sedans continue to drive positive brand momentum, year-over-year,” said global Cadillac vice president John Roth. “Last year, our sedans experienced their best sales since 2018 and CT5 is Cadillac’s best-selling vehicle, globally. As V-Series celebrates a record year, the importance of this option for those customers who value performance and power cannot be overstated.”
The refreshed 2025 Cadillac CT5-V will make its first official public appearance at the Rolex 24 at Daytona alongside the refreshed 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing on January 27th. Production will once again take place at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan, with production expected to kick off this summer. Pricing details will be announced closer to launch.

I’m surprised that they didn’t spell Iconic, “Iconiq”….ick!
I was hoping they would increase those power numbers some on the CT5-V.
LT4 perhaps?
Is the color in the still picture the same as was shown in the video? Both look good.
They do look like different colors
The sun is hitting the green color at different angles.
First, gmauthority, all the pop up adds are incredibly annoying! Now about the car. I thought the prior dashboard’s tablet-like touch screen was rather unattractive but the now screen across most of the dashboard is even more unattractive. It looks even less integrated. Did Cadillac do any kind of customer survey before putting this into production?
4 months waiting for the V release and they did NOTHING.
I wish GM/Cadillac brought the updated CT6 they sell in China to the US. Sad!
Walk up lighting is interesting, but it also lets any would be car jackers know where you are headed.
I hope it can be turned off.
It says CT5V includes Super Cruise standard. I hope not. I can’t believe that. Many don’t want to pay
extra for something they don’t want.
I really can’t see that the front fascia changes make a noticeable difference.
Like it…enough to make me consider. It really is a bargain, though I have no idea how the resale holds up. Love the green. Hoping they de-cheese the seating finishes (ie lose the boy-racer embossed headrests and the patchy applications of color). That would make it very appealing, at least to this focus group of one.
Will it come as a coupe?
