2025 Cadillac CT4-V Gets New Drift Metallic Color: First Look

The 2025 Cadillac CT4-V ushers in limited updates from the 2024 model year, but significant changes appear in the sedan’s color palette for 2025. With three colors retired from the lineup, three others are added – including Deep Space Metallic, Drift Metallic and Typhoon Metallic – as indirect replacements. Here’s a detailed look at the Drift Metallic color.

Color code GAE and touch-up paint number WA-220K are used to designate Drift Metallic, which is a pale metallic blue color with a hint of light gray. The following table shows all the exterior paints, including Drift Metallic, that are available for the 2025 Cadillac CT4-V, with nine colors in total:

• Argent Silver Metallic (GXD)
• Black Raven (GBA)
• Coastal Blue Metallic (GJV)
• Cyber Yellow Metallic (GCP)
• Radiant Red Tintcoat (GNT)
• Summit White (GAZ)
• Deep Space Metallic (GAI – new for 2025)
• Drift Metallic (GAE – new for 2025)
• Typhoon Metallic (GBW – new for 2025)

Drift Metallic is a metallic color, as its name suggests, but is not a tintcoat. Optioning the paint on the 2025 Cadillac CT4-V is priced at an extra cost of $625. Any of the four interior colorways featured on the sedan can be combined with Drift Metallic.

As a reminder, the four interior colorway choices the 2025 CT4-V offers to buyers consist of these combos:

• Jet Black, Leather/Performance Cloth/Sueded Microfiber/Inteluxe Seats and Sueded Front Seatbacks
• Jet Black with Jet Black Accents, Inteluxe
• Jet Black with Jet Black Accents, Leather with Mini-Perforated Inserts
• Sangria with Jet Black Accents, Leather with Mini-Perforated Inserts

Pricing of the 2025 Cadillac CT4-V depends on the specific drivetrain configuration chosen. For RWD, $48,690 is the base MSRP, while AWD has a $49,790 starting price, with $1,395 destination freight charge included in both of these prices. Buyers can explore various builds and options using the currently-live configurator on the Cadillac site.

One powerplant gives the Caddy sedan power, namely the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B engine developing 325 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. The GM 10-speed automatic transmission sends power to the pavement, while rear-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional.

The GM Alpha 2 platform is the structural base on which the 2025 Cadillac CT4-V rides. Production of the model is carried out at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.
