Typically, luxury sedans fly under the radar with an understated appearance, offering somewhat modest exterior paint color options. However, this isn’t necessarily the case for the 2025 Cadillac CT5. Sure, the latest CT5 offers the usual black, white, and silver, but it also offers a selection of unique and exciting hues you might not expect. In fact, the 2025 Cadillac CT5 (alongside its slightly smaller sibling, the Cadillac CT4) offers the most diverse selection of paint colors in the entirety of the GM model lineup.
Typhoon Metallic (GBW)
As GM Authority covered previously, the 2025 Cadillac CT5 offers a total of nine exterior paint options, with all nine options available for both non-V-Series trim levels (Premium Luxury and Sport). These exterior colors include two basic options offered at no extra cost, specifically Black Raven (color code GBA) and Summit White (color code GAZ). The rest of the paint options lineup is available for an additional cost, with five of the options priced a $625, and two of the options priced at $1,225.
Standout options in the standard 2025 Cadillac CT5 paint options lineup include Typhoon Metallic (color code GBW), Midnight Sky Metallic (color code GXF), and Wave Metallic (color code GKK). Check out our previous coverage for more information on the 2025 Cadillac CT5 color options.
Drift Metallic (GAE)
Stepping up to the V-Series models (Cadillac CT5-V, Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing) opens up additional, exciting color options. Among them is Coastal Blue Metallic (paint code GJV, $625), Cyber Yellow Metallic (paint code GCP, $625), and Drift Metallic (paint code GAE, $625). Like the non-V-Series CT5, the CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing offer Black Raven and Summit White as the only no-charge paint options. Check out our previous coverage for more information on the 2025 CT5-V options, and the 2025 CT5-V Blackwing options.
Cyber Yellow Metallic (GCP)
As a reminder, GM refreshed the CT5 for the 2025 model year. All Cadillac CT5 variants ride on the GM Alpha 2 platform, with production taking place at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.
Comments
Those colors are the equivalent of a beautiful woman getting a Karen cut and then dying her hair Typhoon Drift Wave Cyber Yellow metallic. And just like that coul-be-pretty-but-chose-to-be-gross lady, these horrible, horrible colors are gonna have a take rate of zero. Why Cadillac? Why?
Brazilian colours… beautiful green, beautiful blue, yellow
Color is subjective. At least they’re trying.
Love the new metallic green.
Hard pass on all three.
Wave metallic discontinued..disappointed!
