- The ALL NEW Cadillac CT4-V is here to out perform cars like the Audi S3. Under the hood is a 2.7L turbocharged inline-4 turbocharged engine that produces 325HP & routed through a 10-speed automatic gearbox. It's exterior has special V-series touches such as the grill, wheels, and Brembo brakes. On the inside you will find special touches that makes the CT4-V more performance oriented than the standard CT4. Does the NEW 2020 Cadillac CT4-V have enough PERFORMANCE for the price?

This car is a gem~ the 2.7 was developed & is being used in full sized GM pickup trucks~ the paint will wear off the car before this engine ever gives up.
Personally, I love the direction Cadillac is going with their brand. I love the new styling. I’m sure the customer’s appreciate it because Cadillac is selling more units. Thanks for this review!
So Cadillac is no longer on the decline?
It’s a very ugly remodeling
As a long time Cadillac owner i can say um NO the customers DO NOT like this new direction Cadillac is going..
@@gmack247 Well, they're trying to appeal to a younger group of people. Young people want luxury sports cars like BMWs, not land boats. Cadillac gained the reputation for an "old man" brand due to them never changing, and their sales plummeted. It's either Cadillac adapt to the market, or they go bankrupt.
@@dwrussell96 Cadillac was going in the correct direction with the 3rd gen CTS ie: 2014 -2019 model ...If you took the badges off that CT4 it could almost be mistaken for a Nissan or a Toyota...🤷🏽♂️
Hopefully they come out with a coupe version of this, I really enjoy the styles of the previous cadillac coupes like the ATS-V
I believe Cadillac confirmed that the "Full V" versions will adopt the Blackwing name.
Yup, they sure did. www.cadillac.com/future-vehicles/v-series-blackwing
Looking forward to the new CT5 blackwing.
I am very impressed with this CT4 V!!! I LOVE Cadillac's and the I love the piping around the seats and that engine is nice!!!
I am so happy I could bring this one to you!
Jimmie Carter ya but they lost the sweet ass design.
I have ats 2.0 prem , live in Ukraine and dream go have cts v -4-5 series
Damn that is what I need here, i am with little 2.0t babe eye catcher on road , with v series i would feel like on the stage with my followers))
50% of the time to said “v -series” it triggered Siri! Funny that on Chevys you zonk the side badges for being too high, so Cadillac puts it low, then zonked for too low! 😂
Cars look better without the badges anyways, take them off!
I believe it was just announced earlier today the true top performance versions of this & the CT5 will be named the CT5 V Blackwing and CT4 V Blackwing. 400ish horsepower for the 4 and 650 for the 5 I think. Thanks for another Great Review though! Always looking forward to your uploads!
You are correct I can't wait to get my hands on those.
Yes, and according to an online article by Car and Driver, buyers will have the option of a 6-speed mt.
Ray Stark oh thank god its not v max 🙏
Will it be awd?
And with MANUALS!!!
Great video on great car Joe! And I just gotta say I don't feel like you get enough credit for this but on behalf of everyone I'd like to thank you for actually taking the time out of your day to read reply to all the comments it really means a lot to me and all the other members of the Raiti's Rides family!! You're doing a wonderful job sir and can't wait to see your channel grow!
Love Ratti's reviews on everything....bought a 2020 CT4-V AWD Shadow metallic today...thanks Ratti for the review. It really helped me come to the decision.
13:42 I like how the "Raitis Ride" emblem blocks out the speedometer just as you kicked it into gear! LOL Slick move Joe, I'm loading your trunk up with Little Debbies!
Beautiful design! Love it! And thank you for your great reviews. A fan from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
I Really Like your Enthusiasticism And how you went section by section on the CT4... Just a Great job...Keep Up the good Work And Stay True to your Opinions Of the Cars you Review... God Bless.
Best Cadillac information inside and out on CZcams!!
45 grand seems like a steal 👌 pay it off in a few short years easily
i mean you could prolly lease one for 3 yeaars quite comfortably
I had these same thoughts.
kelson Lease-to-buy maybe. I’d want to keep this for a while.
This is the first drive review (video or article) that I’ve seen of the CT4-V...ANYWHERE!! Excellent work, and unsurprisingly...based upon the initial reviews of the CT5-V, this looks to be a VERY competent sedan. It’s too small for me (at 6’-6”), but I’m super excited for the CT5-V.
p.s. I’m always excited to hear what random food assortment and drinks will fit in the door pocket, ha! Hilarious.
Hi joe
Enjoy the video. This vehicle reminds me of my 2019 Genesis G70.
The infotainment screen, cup holders and steering wheel.
I love sports sedans!
Beautiful car and color.
I think I like the g70 more
Finally getting mine next week after months of waiting :D Black, with black graphite wheel, red brambos and sangria interior. I went AWD since I'm in Canada and winter is real. That thing is a beast, felt way lighter than my current ATS and so nimble, makes you feel like skating effortlessly when on snow. I'll make sure to carry snacks and skittles for you Joe!
Thanks for being the first reviewer of this vehicle, I love this car and would get it in RWD for the magnetic ride control. Keep up the good work, you're becoming my favorite auto reviewer on CZcams. Just enough space for some Little Debbie's and a Yoo-hoo 😂
You are so very welcome! I really appreciate your support and letting me share this with you!
Based on that exhaust sound, it sounds like that CT4-V has enough power 😂👍🏻
Great vid, Joe!
Thanks for letting me bring it all to you Victor!
@@RaitisRides I'm kind of bummed it is only a cuople more hps than my 2014 CTS 2.0L hp. It should be a LOT more power.
w41duvernay bro it’s got lots more torque it’ll be quicker than a 2.0 CTS. The 2.0 was better suited to the ATS
@@bpbeast i have a 2.0 ats and that thing is a sleeper of sorts....
kelson they are a ton of fun to rev out aren’t they? ATS was a great car didn’t get enough shine
Caddy doing it right now, plus the new model look looks very good and sporty I love it. This makes me want one of these frfr
Put a tune on this and free exhaust up alittle bit and your easley at 350/360hp and some 19s or 20s and this car is happening
Great review. Just bought a '22 CT4 Sport. Love it. Looked at the V series but with a 7 yr old son had to think about back seat space as he grows. My first cadillac won't be my last
Keep up the amazing work Joe!!
From Joe and Tom's view 14:55 the blue Tacoma was about to get a back full of CTS4 V from the side. Nice review as always.
Great review, hot car. I love what Cadillac is doing these days. Their performance sedans just shred and are really competitive price wise. I would love to take the CT4 V for a spin.
Thanks for the vid! Love your channel! 😊
Love the orange on the interior! 👍
I am so glad that you liked this one.
Cadillac coming with what they call 'Blackwing' series of super V CT-4 and CT-5 high performance sedans. Cant wait to see the power specs of those cars. Should be fun.
Definitely in competition with the S3. These Cadillac performance sedans just rock. I would love to test drive one. Great review Joe!
Love Cadillacs Vertical lights glad they have kept them from the early days keeping tradition great look
love your videos. The one thing I don't like is how you go like 60mph through obvious residential zones, even a school pedestrian crossing and you did an acceleration right through it! I hope you know what you're doing.
Yep. I want one!! Thanks for another awesome review Joe!
Hopefully you’ll do the Cadillac ct6 v that’ll be amazing. Keep up the great work 👍🏾👏🏾
I like what Cadillac is doing with the V series. I think this fits very nice in the trims. Can’t wait to see the Blackwing version.
Glad to see Caddy still sticking around in 2020
I just subbed because I love the way u do your reviews. The best out there, direct and to the point with no bullshit.👏👏👏
Your excitement in driving this vehicle on throttle says everything I need to know!
Great review. I always liked the looks the ATS and I think this is a nice evolution of that. Love the way the headlights swoop down. Alpha platform has always gotten high praise. What do you think is more fun to drive, this or a V-6 Camaro? HP is about the same.
Thanks Joe! This is a really sweet car! And has a lot of advantages over it's FWD German competitors. NIce!
Yet again bringing the fresh content before anyone else!
I was a skeptic at first but now I’m impressed
I know how you feel Patrick.
This is what i was waiting on, love this car especially in the red
I die every time you mention the word Zonk! Keep up the great content brother11
Great review. I'm really surprised at the performance and handling on this one. I think they'll probably sell really well.
Great review like always Raiti!!!
haha I love the reaction during the acceleration "wow!"
Digging the Nike steffan janoski’s! Huge fan, keep up the awesome content!
Been waiting for this one... i actually love this car, turbo 2.7 from the Silverado with some mods works for me.. great review.👍
I am so glad that I can share it with you Mark!
@@RaitisRides that 2.7 looks like it pulls really well?
I have a 2017 s3 right now, really considering to go to the 2021 CT4-V.. ether that or a new s3..hmm 🤔 what would be your choice?
From a to c pillar it's an ATS. Looks good, more like an evolution of the ATS.
This will be my first car!!! Great video Joe.
That amusing placement of the Raitis Rides logo THO! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the V badge on the lower portion of the doors..... just saying. Another great video buddy!!
GREAT JOB RAITI AS USUAL.
Handling wise, how tail happy did it feel at full song? Any playfulness? Seems like its waaaay too planted even at full throttle, i personally enjoy the playful nature of my bmw 3 series.
Awesome content, you deserve more views
Pretty good growl coming out of the 4 cyl engine. 2.7L with 325 hp and 381 lb/ft almost as powerful as the 3.0L V6 with 360hp and 405 lb/ft in the CT5-V that you ran a few days ago. But at $45K and the CT5-V only $48.6K I would upgrade to the big brother.
Is that the same 10 speed that's in the Camaro SS and mustang?
Great review! How does this compare to the new Mercedes CLA 35 AMG you reviewed recently?
It is not as good to be honest.
Joe great stuff, but I have to say it sounded a bit disappointing outside. Was that in v/track?
Some serious turbo spool @6:25 ... Think I will replace my '16 ATS for this. Great review as always.
The back end is meh but you be killin me with the snack references lol. great video my man.
My daughter just purchased a 2020 CTV4 & she absolutely ❤️💕it. Previously had a 2014 CTS that she traded she says; the CTS has nothing like the 2020 CTV4 she is very satisfied. She traded the 2014 CTS which only had 45,000 miles, owed only $4200 on it.The finance company paid it off got the 2020 w/ no money down plus she got a blue cross blue shield discount through Parker Cadillac out of LittleRock, special ordered out of Texas metallic orange.
Thats only 45k? I like.give me a flat bottom steering wheels & make those vents functional & I'll get my checkbook.
I bought my Championship Edition from you guys! Good dealership! 👍
Im so debating this or a 330/M340. Ive had many BMWs and things just work, but they've lost a lot of the edge. This car seems edgier, but its missing some key stuff like the ability to shift from the gear selector when in manual. Who decided that one? Even the ATS could shift from there as do their German competitors. It couldn't have cost much if anything to incorporate that. A 10in screen would have been nice too, but that aside, I LOVE this car and the CT5's as well. Cant wait for quarantine to be over and to feel safe enough to go drive them and decide. I loved the steering and suspension of my ATS Premium with magnetic ride, and if they have fixed the slow transmission issue which it seems as though they have, then Im super excited. Thanks for a great review.
The Cadillac CT4 is more on par with the Audi A4. The dimensions prove it. Cadillac finally is getting what the American market wants... They need to develop a convertible and coupe to expand their lineage if they want to compete with Audi. Drive by an Audi dealership and see what they have to offer, prices range from the $40's to $200's they sell everything. It's great to see Cadillac is getting back in the game!
Nice car and great review! I kinda want one now
Zonk! I say it all the time now.
Coronavirus. Zonk!
Recession. Zonk!
Quarentine. Zonk!
Raiti's Rides new video. Cool!
Soney Barbosa I totally agree with you! Thanks for the support!
Soney Barbosa buy the shoes and eat the cake
Beautiful car. And I’m sure you didn’t violate any speed laws😁😁
Great car! Great review!
Awesome review!!
I am impressed with the ct v4
Joe, I love being part of the family!
Hopefully you can answer a couple of questions.
1. You said MSRP was 45 grand but usually you add “as this one sits” was the total of that car 45?
2. If we’re talking your money and you had to buy either this or the Audi S3 based solely on performance (not just performance stats) but I mean performance and feel, which one takes your money?
Thank you Joe and keep the videos coming!
Base model rumored to start at $33,000 but is missing some safety options.
Hi Joe nice ride😎👍🏻
I a m so glad that you love this one.
I almost bye a used ATS before covid -19 down here in puerto rico a black one with back rims for 22k. but this new cadillac is right in the money.. Once again, thank you for your videos.. This red one ufff love it. But im gonna wait for a black one or even charcoal gray probably with back rims to. this is better than a mustan eco boost or camaro 1lt.
From your review Mr. Raiti, it sounds like a perfectly balanced, power and handling, 4-D Sport Sedan. I have a Turbo ATS. More fun than I have ever had. I giving this serious consideration, however, compared to my ATS, I'm not enamored with the rear end styling. Tony
Engine sounds nice. I read this engine will be in the next generation of Colorado ZR2
I love your CT4-V is the sedan, I like it's performance
I agree with your zonks. I hope they figure out another name besides Vmax. I’ve been bit by the Porsche bug lately, so not in the market for a new car, but the CTS4-V looks nice. My parents had numerous Cadillacs back in the day, so I’m always rooting for them.
Overall would you choose this A35 or Giulia?
How would you compare the CT4-V and CT5-V to the Genesis G70 3.3 sport? They all look great for that price range but curious how you would compare them. Also, my grandmother lives across from that dealership and I stopped there yesterday because they had a blue CT5-V that I had to stop and check out!
Not a huge fan of the rear end but it's nice overall. I'm glad that Cadillac has gone back to some hard buttons instead of the all touch CUE system.
Any luck finding the Evo X or Ram 1500 BigHorn?
hi man. Please place the camera in a place where the dashboard in full view, such as mode pov drive. thank you
Thanks for the feedback.
you are the best
Can't wait to see your driving impression on the CT5 V
Same here Antonio.
This is really exciting
How would you compare this to a 18’ RS Camaro? 4 cyl. Twin Turno V6. Looking to get a CT4. Thanks.
More room and smoother ride.
I'm 5'7" and I didn't like the tightness of the backseat when I sat in the CT4 at the auto show (I felt the same way in the back of the Genesis G70 which I also like). The CT5 is nicely spacious - for me at least.
Would you say the performance of this CT4-V is roughly the same as a Genesis G70 3.3T ?
I could practically imagine the future mods now. Sweet looking indeed.🤔
This is just an awesome car!
I last said that about 1966 through 1970 Cadillacs!!!
Could they make a two door convertible V series?
Or better yet make the 4 door Ciel!!!
I would buy it in a New York second!
I am so glad that you like this one.
Gorgeous ride. Would prefer at least one size up on the wheels and if it had the CTS-V engine this thing would be pretty perfect. I'm sure that's probably what the Blackwing will have.
I wish it had the 3.6 V6(turbo fours will never sound good no matter what you do to them)but being RWD makes it better than the cars it's competing against
I am just waiting for the new G70 sedan to see the difference.
I can't wait!
Wow, nice job Cadillac. Crisp, clean styling, not too busy or fussy, not too heavy, RWD and enough power to keep it fun.
One question: how does that Bose stereo sound? The Bose system in my C7 is a huge disappointment, a great big Zonk in an otherwise excellent car...
Hi, don't you feel a little nervous driving fast in those 35mi/h zones ?
The hp is similar to the hp in the Mustang EcoBoost but the torque is higher. How would you compare the performance between the two? The weight seems similar also. Imo this is a 4 door to consider for a good combination of performance and mpg.
It feels just as fast.
at least they added some actual knobs and buttons to the new ones.. i'm about to purchase a 16 or 17 ATS Coupe , so i'll have to deal with the crazy CUE system 😏
I read the top of line V series of Cadillac will be called V Blackwing ...
MR. Raiti FTW🤟😎🤟
interesting the fusion sport also has a 2.7l but v6 twin turbo 325hp and 380tq but its impressive that this gets that power out of a i4 single turbo and plus 1 extra torque at 381 ahah
