Changes, Updates, New Features
Coming soon.
The updates and changes described here are specific to the U.S. market and may be different for other markets.
Body Styles
The 2022 CT5-V model continues to be offered exclusively as a four-door sedan.
Color Options
We expect the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V color palette to see the deletion of a couple colors as well as the addition of several new hues, though this has yet to be confirmed.
Powertrain
The 2022 Cadillac CT5-V is available with the following engine choice:
| Engine | Fuel | Aspiration | Driven Wheels | Transmission | Power (hp / kW @ RPM) | Torque (lb-ft / Nm @ RPM) | Axle Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.0L LGY V6 | Gasoline | Turbo | Rear or All-Wheel Drive | 10-Speed Auto (MHS) | 360 / 268 @ 5400 | 405 / 550 @ 2350-4000 | 2.85 |
Platform
The 2022 CT5-V continues to ride on the Alpha 2 platform, otherwise written Alpha II. The Alpha 2 platform is a General Motors vehicle architecture designed to underpin compact and mid-size vehicles with a longitudinal front-engine, rear-drive configuration. The platform is a successor to the first generation Alpha architecture, or Alpha 1.
It is the same chassis the underpins the first-generation Cadillac CT4.
Production
The 2022 Cadillac CT5-V is assembled by GM USA at the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant in Lansing, Michigan, USA for the North American market.
The model is also assembled by the Cadillac China manufacturing facility, otherwise known as Cadillac Jinqiao or Shanghai-GM Jinqiao, which is located in the town of Jinqiao, Pudong, Shanghai, China.
Price
Pricing for the 2022 CT5-V in the United States is expected to remain similar to the current starting price of the 2021 Cadillac CT5-V model, which is $48,690 in the rear-wheel drive configuration.
Availability
The 2022 CT5-V is expected to enter the market by the end of Q3 2020.
As GMAuthority was the first to report, the performance-inspired CT5-V model will not be sold in China, but may enter Mexico, Middle East and Russia.
Debut
The Cadillac CT5-V made its debut in May 2019.
