Changes, Updates, New Features
The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing will see a mid-cycle refresh, headlined by a new front fascia and a revamped cockpit with a new 33-inch display spanning the gauge cluster and center stack.
Note that GM revealed the “regular” 2025 Cadillac CT5 in September, but it has not yet announced the refreshed CT5-V Blackwing. We expect that to take place in the first few weeks of 2024.
