The 2025 Cadillac CT4 makes a strong case for itself in the entry-level compact-luxury sedan class, now crowded with imported models from Germany and Japan.
The American-made Cadillac CT4Â sedan offers buyers an affordable entry choice when looking for luxury and comfort in a sporty sedan.
Our article looks at what the 2025 edition of the Cadillac CT4 offers luxury vehicle shoppers with tighter budgets.
What's New for 2025?
Shoppers with the Cadillac CT4 on their shopping lists should note that Cadillac has made only very minor changes to the new year's model-not that this is a bad thing, with the CT4 being a relatively new design from 2020.
These minor changes extend to two new exterior paint colors: Deep Space Metallic and Typhoon Metallic.
Modern Exterior
The 2025 Cadillac CT4's modern and sporty sedan body features contemporary styling carried over from the 2024 model year. The smaller dimensions lend the three-box, rear-wheel-drive-oriented design head-turning good looks.
The front fascia of the CT4 features eye-catching vertical signature lighting finishes with LED headlamps and vertical LED daytime running lights.
In line with its luxury and value-oriented positioning, the CT4 is loaded with standard specifications. Key exterior features include:
- Red outer lens tail lamps
- LED tail lamps
- Windshield with acoustic laminated glass
- Bright-accented outside door handles
- Bright window surround moldings
- Body-color heated power, manual-folding outside mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators
- Acoustic laminated glass
- Body-color rocker moldings
- Dual-outlet exhaust with bright tips
All 2025 Cadillac CT4 trims are fitted with a tow hook and premium alloy wheels in sizes ranging from 17 to 19 inches, all with trim-exclusive designs.
Buyers of the 2025 Cadillac CT4 can choose from nine available exterior paint colors.

Luxurious Interior
Matching the eye-catching exterior of the CT4, the interior is a comfortably luxurious space. Passengers are greeted with Cadillac's signature luxury and comfort finishes.
The cabin continues with its quality construction, showcasing luxury craftsmanship with premium materials and a focus on driver and passenger comfort.
Depending on their trim choice, buyers of the CT4 will be seated on either Inteluxe or leather seat surfaces.
The Cadillac experience includes numerous high-end comfort features, such as front bucket seats with heating and ventilation on top trims, power adjustment, and an upscale lumbar massage function.
Some of the plentiful interior appointments found in the CT4's cabin include:

Cargo and Passenger Capacity
The 2025 Cadillac CT4 can accommodate up to five passengers in its spacious total passenger volume of 90 cubic feet.
Cargo hauling is no chore when it's time to go grocery shopping or pack for a holiday trip.
The CT4's generous trunk offers up to 10.7 cubic feet of cargo room, and the handy split-folding rear seat makes it easy to load longer cargo items.
Engine and Performance
A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that pushes out a substantial 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque is standard. The power goes to the rear wheels via the standard eight-speed automatic transmission.
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.
0-60 MPH Times
The CT4 compact sedan fitted with the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder reaches the 0-60 mph benchmark in just 6.2 seconds.
The Premium Luxury, when ordered with the 2.7-liter turbocharged engine, achieves an impressive 0-60 mph time of only 4.8 seconds.
Â
Fuel Economy and MPG
Whether it's the 2.0-liter or the 2.7-liter engine chosen, both turbocharged power plants are remarkably fuel-efficient.
Trims fitted with the 2.0-liter engine and rear-wheel drive offer EPA estimated ratings of 22 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined.
Buyers opting for the powerful 2.7-liter engine in the Premium Luxury can expect EPA fuel economy ratings of 21 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined.
2025 Cadillac CT4 Drivetrain and Handling
The 2025 Cadillac CT4 utilizes GM's Alpha platform, known for its athletic handling. Notably, this is the same platform used in the high-performing Chevrolet Camaro.
The CT4 offers drivers an exhilarating yet sure-footed drive, thanks to the standard electric rack-and-pinion power steering and a superb suspension system consisting of MacPherson struts at the front and a five-link suspension at the rear.
Traction is enhanced on slippery surfaces and winding corners by the standard limited-slip rear differential, which helps drivers stay in control by safely distributing power.
