Even when not being flogged hard, though, the cabin experience should be much more refined. There’s dual-zone ambient lighting, for example, and the front bucket seats offer standard heating, ventilation, and massage. The steering wheel is heated as standard and outfitted with tactile controls to adjust the various drive modes and other performance settings.
The CT5-V/CT5-V Blackwing infotainment system now uses Google Built-In, meanwhile, with native apps for Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play Store access, while the HVAC controls have also been finessed. Of course, there’s also OnStar support, too.
Really, though, for all the aesthetic and usability changes, Cadillac’s focus remains on making its sports sedan a legitimate alternative to the usual German Autobahn-bruisers. Pricing for the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing will be confirmed closer to the cars’ production kicking off, which is expected to happen in Summer 2024. For context, the current 2024 CT5-V starts at $51,495, while the 2024 CT5-V Blackwing starts at $93,495 (both plus destination).
