Cadillac Launches Pre-Orders for Luxury Sedan CT5 and Performance Sedan CT4

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Cadillac unveiled the luxury sedan CT5 and the entry-level performance sedan CT4 for the first time in the domestic market on the 2nd and began pre-orders.

First, the CT5 inherits Cadillac's Escala concept design philosophy, completing a sleek yet elegant fastback line. The neutral density transparent taillamps, newly introduced dual fan sunroof, side black rocker molding, illuminated door handles, and 19-inch alloy wheels add stability to the low body and linear design.

The CT5 is the first Cadillac model to apply GM's global B electric architecture, providing next-generation CUE infotainment system and safe compatibility with various digital devices. In particular, the newly designed 10-inch CUE infotainment display protruding from the dashboard and the center fascia, which enhances operational intuitiveness, support convenient and stable vehicle control.

Advanced assistance systems are also extensively applied to aid convenient driving. Adaptive cruise control, which detects the distance to the vehicle ahead and adjusts speed autonomously, offers a smooth driving experience based on excellent system control capabilities and sensor sensitivity. Auto hold, which maintains a stopped state without additional operation when stopped, maximizes convenience during driving when needed.

Additionally, improved technologies such as the rear camera mirror, which allows users to adjust angle, brightness, and perspective to provide approximately 300% wider rear visibility; the HD surround vision camera that monitors the vehicle surroundings in real-time during parking; a head-up display with four mode changes; and front and rear automatic braking and pedestrian detection emergency braking support safe driving for the driver.

The CT5 is equipped with a 2.0ℓ twin-scroll turbo engine featuring three world-first technologies, delivering a maximum output of 240 horsepower and a maximum torque of 35.7 kg·m. The engine includes twin-scroll technology that significantly reduces turbo lag and produces maximum torque even at low RPM (1,500 rpm), as well as a 3-step sliding camshaft and active thermal management design, achieving optimal performance. A 10-speed automatic transmission is combined to provide a more powerful yet smooth driving feel.

Meanwhile, the high-performance line performance sedan CT4 was also unveiled in the domestic market on the same day. The CT4 was developed to maximize performance in every aspect, from the perfectly balanced front-to-rear ratio RWD platform itself to design composition and drivetrain system. The CT4 is equipped with a 2.0ℓ twin-scroll turbo engine featuring three world-first technologies, delivering a maximum output of 240 horsepower and a maximum torque of 35.7 kg·m.

The CT4 includes options previously seen only in high-performance vehicles and Cadillac’s flagship models, such as Magnetic Ride Control, which scans the road surface in 1/1000-second increments and adjusts damping force autonomously to provide optimized high-speed stability; Brembo brakes, boasting top-level braking power with optimized braking feedback at all times; and run-flat tires that add stability in emergencies. Additionally, aerodynamic design to maintain body downforce and magnesium paddle shifters with enhanced responsiveness complete the CT4 as the best-in-class performance sedan.

Both the CT5 and CT4 models are scheduled for official launch and customer delivery starting in September. The CT5 is priced at 54.28 million KRW for the Premium Luxury trim and 59.21 million KRW for the Sport trim. The CT4 Sport trim is priced at 49.35 million KRW, reflecting the individual consumption tax reduction.
