Sounds interesting? Read on as we take a closer look at the lineup of the 2024 Cadillac CT4 and all that this model offers prospective shoppers.
What's New for 2024?
The Cadillac CT4 was first seen on showroom floors in spring of 2020. Fast forward to 2024 and only two minor changes have been made to the regular CT4.
The first change being a new extra-cost color, Midnight Sky Metallic and secondly the introduction of the Onyx Package adding dark accents and wheels to the CT4.
The Cadillac CT4 lineup for the 2024 model year comprises three trim levels: Luxury, Premium Luxury and the Sport.
A facelifted 2025 model year CT4 is expected to debut during the course of 2024.

Engine and Performance
Powering the base trims is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 237 horsepower and 258 pound feet of torque. This base engine drives the rear wheels via an eight eight-speed automatic transmission.
The CT4 compact sedan fitted with this base powertrain achieves the benchmark 0-60 mph in an impressive 6.2 seconds.
The Premium Luxury trim is available with a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that cranks the output to as much as 325 horsepower and 350-pound feet of torque and sends power to the rear wheels through a ten-speed automatic transmission.
The powerful 2.7-liter turbocharged engine propels the CT4 from 0-60 mph in a blistering 4.8 seconds.
Fuel Economy and MPG
Despite some sporty performance both turbocharged engines available in the 2024 CT4 lineup offer up some respectable fuel economy values. The 2.0-liter engines with rear wheel drive are EPA rated at 21 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined.
The more powerful 2.7-liter engine does give away some fuel economy to produce all that addictive power with EPA ratings of 21 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined.
2024 Cadillac CT4 Drivetrain and Handling
The CT4 is set up on GM's Alpha platform, the same platform as the Chevrolet Camaro that endows it with some athletic handling. The CT4 uses a standard electric rack and pinion power steering coupled with MacPherson Strut front suspension and a five link rear suspension system to smooth out bumps and provide exciting but assuring handling.
A limited slip rear differential helps the CT4 to put down all its power to the rear safely and with enhanced grip in winding corners and slippery surfaces.
