Looking for a sedan? Consider the Cadillac CT4 subcompact four-door. Cadillac is currently the only U.S. luxury automaker churning out sedans—the CT4 is its smallest model. It’s sporty, comfortable and reliable and just might be the car for you. Let’s compare its current and previous model years.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The CT4 is the smallest model in Cadillac’s sedan lineup.
- Cadillac has made only modest changes from 2024—the CT4’s design and features are mostly the same.
- While a rarity in most sedans, rear-wheel drive is standard across trims.
- The 2025 CT4 starts at $36,390 and goes up to $48,690 over its four trims. The 2024 lineup is priced a bit less—from $35,990 to $48,490.
What Are the Differences in Performance and Style between the 2025 Cadillac CT4 and the 2024 version?
Car and Driver states that differences in the CT4 between the two model years are few. For 2025, three new hues have been added to the CT4’s palette—Deep Space Metallic, Typhoon Metallic, Drift Metallic, specifically for the V-series. Eight-way power-adjustable front seats are now standard in the V-series trim, along with the introduction of an 18-inch wheel design.
Performance-wise, Cadillac offers the same powertrains in ‘24 and ‘25:
- A 2.0-liter four generating 237-horses (standard in the base Luxury, Premium Luxury and Sport models);
- A standard 2.7-liter four in the CT4-V (325 horsepower), and optional in the Premium Luxury trim (310 horsepower).
The 2.0-liter engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the 2.7-liter engine gets a 10-speed transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard with both, while all-wheel drive is optional across models. In terms of fuel economy, the 2.0-liter engine gets 23 mpg city/34 mpg highway, while the 2.7-liter four gets about 21 mpg/city, 31 mpg/highway.
What Are the Interior Features of the 2025 Cadillac CT4 vs. 2024 CT4?
Inside, the CT4’s switchgear and controls are intuitive in use and make for a better experience than the touch-sensitive controls of its predecessor the ATS. Overall cabin space can feel a bit tight, as can cargo space, which has just 10.7 cubic feet of breathing room in the trunk. Aside from the base model, comfort and style come into play a bit more, thanks to the optional luxury and tech amenities offered in higher trims.
What Are the Tech Features in the 2025 Cadillac CT4 vs. 2024 version?
All trims still come with an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen system offering the most recent version of CUE software, with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and onboard Wi-Fi hotspot as standard. Navigation is an available option for all models, as is a 14-speaker Bose stereo system to replace the CT4’s standard eight-speaker system.
