Specs at a Glance
Drivers seeking the adrenaline of a luxury sport sedan should look toward the 2026 Cadillac CT5-V. This model provides an ideal blend of high-end performance and sophisticated comfort. The lineup offers two distinct trim levels: the standard CT5-V and the track-ready Blackwing. The following comparison outlines the primary differences between these two configurations.
Performance
The CT5-V features a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that delivers 360 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. Power is distributed through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Drivers can choose between standard rear-wheel drive and an available all-wheel drive system. To enhance handling, Cadillac equips this sedan with a limited-slip differential, Brembo front brakes, and Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension.
The CT5-V Blackwing offers even greater capability with its 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine. This powertrain delivers 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the base V-Series, the Blackwing is offered only with rear-wheel drive and gives enthusiasts the choice of a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic transmission. Performance upgrades include specialized suspension dampers, summer performance tires, and a rear differential cooler.
Appearance
The CT5-V is defined by a bold front fascia and dark exterior accents that create a modern, aggressive look. It sits on 19-inch alloy wheels that emphasize its athletic stance. The CT5-V Blackwing is distinguished by its functional, track-oriented design elements. It features exclusive 19-inch forged wheels with wider tires, larger cooling ducts, and front-fender air extractors designed to optimize airflow.
Features
The interior of the CT5-V is highlighted by a 33-inch curved LED display with Google Built-In. Standard amenities include performance front seats with a lumbar massage function, a 15-speaker AKG premium audio system, and a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot. Safety is a priority with a full suite of advanced driver-assist technologies and available Super Cruise.
The CT5-V Blackwing cabin is tailored for performance driving, with a thicker-rimmed steering wheel. This trim also includes the Performance Data Recorder, which allows drivers to review real-time metrics and capture 1080p video of their driving sessions.
