General Motors revealed the refreshed 2025 Cadillac CT5 last year, with the refreshed CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing breaking cover this past January. As expected, the new 2025 CT5-V and 2025 CT5-V Blackwing introduce a variety of updates and changes, including new styling, an overhauled cabin, and more tech items. Now, GM Authority has uncovered that pricing for the 2025 CT5-V and 2025 CT5-V Blackwing has changed as well, with both models now more expensive than their 2024-model-year equivalents.
According to GM Authority sources, the new 2025 Cadillac CT5-V starts at $58,390, while the 2025 CT5-V Blackwing starts at $96,990. Both prices include destination freight charge, which is $1,395.
Both price tags are significantly higher than they were for the 2024-model-year vehicles, with the 2025 CT5-V now $5,500 more expensive, and the six-speed-manual CT5-V Blackwing now $2,100 more expensive. Units of the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing equipped with the GM 10-speed automatic are now $5,200 than they were for the 2024 model year.

Updates for the 2025 model year include revisions to the front end, with new air intakes and new aero ground effects, as well as new front fenders. The lighting is new as well, with redesigned headlights that incorporate stacked vertical lighting components and LED headlamps in the corners. The 2025 model year also introduces a few new exterior colors, such as Drift Metallic, Deep Space Metallic, and Typhoon Metallic.
The updates continue in the cabin, with a 33-inch-diagonal LED display now dominating the dash layout. The semi-autonomous GM Super Cruise driver assist system is also included as standard for the 2025 CT5-V. Units of the 2025 CT5-V Blackwing models equipped with the optional 10-speed automatic transmission also equip Super Cruise as standard.
Under the hood, the 2025 CT5-V once again cradles the twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 LGY gasoline engine, while the CT5-V Blackwing is propelled by the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine. Both models ride on the GM Alpha 2 platform, while production takes place at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.

Most of the increase is from making Super Cruise standard.
I think that is a dumb idea that may hurt sales. More than ever, V drivers will be less likely to want
Super Cruise.
Maybe GM is OK with lower sales volume at more profit per car.
Maybe Super Cruise isn't popular enough to pay for itself and GM is counting on buyers to want a V at all costs.
Or inflation. Super Cruise has actually gotten cheaper over the years. They probably need more data to train the models, so they're making it standard on a lot of their new models.
I think its great idea as other manufacturers' autonomous drive tech is beginning to overtake Super Cruise.
Well they are throwing in all the bells and whistles for 2025. One such item I would like to delete from my order is the expensive sunroof that I will never use.
Are you an older buyer? I'd imagine younger buyers wouldn't care about wasting $2K when they're spending $60K-$70K. There's probably a tug-of-war for who they're marketing to, and they don't have an efficient way of going about it.
Funny that if GM were to do this in China, they will be doomed
GM can't get out of their own way.
Just say no. Car dealers have been ripping us off for the last few years big time with all these price increases... they've got stuff sitting on a lot they can't get rid of and if consumer just takes a stand this madness will end
Jacking up the prices but not making any mechanical or performance improvements is typical GM. You're basically paying for a bigger screen this year.
Also adding more weight to the car. V-net has posted the weights and the new 5 Blackwing is over 100 pounds heavier than the 24 model;
All that is happening is gm is getting a bigger cut. My dealer sells quite a few BW's. Guess what, 20K over msrp, and still they don't sit. Juts like the slade-v's. They last a couple of days with a 20k kicker as well. Gone are the days of a value V, my CTS-V was a bargain, and still giving me smiles, 12 years later.
Can't help but think a huge recession is looming. Price increases are out of hand and now people are starting to buy less it seems. But who knows. Still a great car.
dont think recessions can be predicted by looking at the pricing of relatively small volume, performance based cadillacs aimed at relatively wealthy buyers. These cars are expensive, but they are catering to high income people who would be cross shopping other pricey sports sedans. They are not for the average family.
When is time to order one
I can't imagine spending that kind of money on a performance car that offers no real color choices, all the colors look like my Camo Cargo pants. Oh well there are plenty of people out there with money to spend.
It looks like yhe new infotainment screen loses the volume knob. Ugh.
