- For those who might not know, CT5 translates to Cadillac compact-luxury-sedan style. Tough competition awaits this American offering, but let's see what Kelley Blue Book's Micah Muzio has to say about it.

Hey Micah’s mom, could you tell your son to stop bullying Tim
😂🤣
😂😂😂😂
The interior looks pretty nice. This will undoubtedly be a good value when it comes to closing at the dealer.
I think this car is HIGHLY slept on
Let’s sleep on that lol
The available 360 camera recording is an interesting feature. In this shady world we live in, it’s becoming a must!
Sometimes, less is more when it comes to trying to be funny, especially if "more" ends up detracting the quality of the review.
Agreed sir
Go touch some grass grandpa
I just got a 2024 with the 3.0TT package. I’ve been loving it so far. I’m in my early 20s and I have to say, this was probably the best American-made car I could get for the price, hands down. I’m not a huge fan of all the chrome trim but that can be fixed. And it has real wood interior! You don’t see that very often. The 3.0TT even has a little backfire when you give it some juice, I’m not sure if that’s something fake they just pump through the speakers, but it sounds crazy hearing that in a caddy. Great American sedan, the last of its kind
Hi Micah Muzio 😄, the exterior color of the CT5 you reviewed looks amazing. I did not know until this vid that the CT4 and CT5 are in dealerships now. I'm so looking forward to the reveal of the 2020 Nissan Sentra. I like Tim, he's tall like me and seems chill. I realize the banter is part of your friendship.
Pre collision system question does it apply breaks for you?
Good review and awesome music Micah.
Interesting, this car _starts_ at about the same price as an ATS and about $8k less than the CTS. Could be a pretty good deal, guess we'll wait and see.
True, only problem is the old outgoing cars look way better, the C pillar needs to go!
@@LSp8 I like the CTS, but I never thought it was proportioned all that well, which is something I think the designers did well in the CT5. The ATS I'll give you, but with this much more car? I'll deal with it. Wouldn't be a deal breaker for me if I was on the market...but yeah that C-pillar treatment is strange.
It's not much smaller it's just cheap cus they desperately want people to buy it.
LSp8 the c pillar not only looks good especially in darker colors but if you don’t like it it isn’t even that big of a deal. U guys are being a bit ridiculous and extra with the unnecessary nitpicking
@@clintwalker2659 it looks ugly enough on the lesser Nissan Maxima/Altima and other mainstream cars that's adopting this newest fad. No need to put it on the Caddy. The new cars are sexy and I love their design with a strong exception of those damn pillars. Hopefully they'll spare the CT6 and not put it on there.
How is the lane keep on it?
How does it compare to a 2.0t ATS?
How does Tim look?
How is this car in the same class as a 3 serious bmw or a class mercedes?? This car is wayyyy bigger than both. Im confused. Should this car be in the 5 series class for bmw??
I found 1 of these for sale for less than $5,000 with only 18,000 miles on it. Would you buy it??
Hey Handsome you did a good job reviewing this one, I quess this is our modern day deville? I would like to check one out myself before to much judgement....
I'll take your advice for now, overall it does look comfy for a trip...
Very good color choices too, thanks for another good review dude 😎
Gay
Great review and that conclusion at the end awesome
This caddy is a killer with that Burberry plum purple beautiful
Best review ever seen. Thank you
As the targeted potential younger buyer I'll give Cadillac credit where credit is due, they wanted to start attracting more youngins to the brand and with this car I definitely think they're heading in the right direction. Seems like a decent offering of standard equipment too but I wouldn't want to own a Cadillac without supercruise and you didn't mention the pricing of any of the other trim levels, unless I didn't hear it? Could be a nice alternative luxury sedan to be had for under $55K if such one exists with all or most of the bells and whistles. Gj Cadillac 👏 if I find out it's not unreliable, you may have a shot
The 2.0 GM turbo engine has proved to be realiable and a solid long term performer. Dont know about the trans but thay 2.0 turbo will serve its owner well
Que bellezaaaaa! Let's make Cadillac great again! I still have my CTS and it is much better than a Mercedes and a BMW together! Great American car that still run very fast here on European Mediterranean high ways! It is worth every single part! Bravo Cadillac!
Caddy needed to knock this one out of the park and they didn't. Kudos for the updated exterior design but this won't stop the market share drop unless it is price much more aggressively.
Poor Tim. My mom wants Micah's Mom to tell him to BE NICE. Also, the CT5 is very sexy.
Finally it's about time!!!
Shouldn't it be considered midsized. It's 3" longer than a sonata
Yeah for what I know the CT5 suppose to compet against bmw 5 series and E class
See I never saw the ct6 as a s class competitor so I considered that an e class competitor the ct5 as a c class competitor and the ct4 as an a class/cla competitor
Only 3 inches ... It's a midsize lol
B Blackwell The Cadillac CT5 competes with the BMW 3-Series. It’s size doesn’t determine who it was designed to compete with so it’s length in inches is irrelevant. If you go just solely off of the CT5’s dimensions it would be more comparable with a BMW 5-series, but the dimensions are misleading since it’s a “tweener”. The CT5 was designed to go head-to-head in the compact luxury sedan segment.
Nice looking car, especially in that color.
Christopher Calder I have been studying the looks of this car for a while and have come to the conclusion that this is the most beautiful car Cadillac has produced since 1970. Think of a car brand as a type of novel. Think of a car designer as a type of movie director. It’s then not hard to think of each new car as a personal (if done well) movie of the original novel. It’s an interpretation of a theme or idea. Looking at car design that way has allowed me to let go of expectations and give a new design a chance; as I usually end up re-examining a car’s design years down the road anyway. The new CT5 works for me because it doesn’t have a bad angle. Everything seems to stick to theme and the side profile is very dramatic (for me, that is). Cheers!
I do like the looks. However this definitely doesn’t stand out from the crowd. Like Micah said, You probably would only consider this if you were a caddy fan.
I live in L A. Mbz, bmw and audis definitely don't stand out, just because so many of them.
Cadi would stand out in L A for sure.
JTL2017 So the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4 all “stand out”?? Do you mind explaining exactly how they do that? 🤔
Arman 80 I actually agree with you. In terms of luxury cars; Audi’s, BMWs, Mercs, and Lexus are a dime a dozen. With Cadillac’s design language and their unique headlight design, you can literally tell it’s a Caddy from a mile away. Cadillac is not my style(I’d probably go for a Buick), but these are nice cars.
I'm a caddy fan and I'm kind of disappointed. I'm going to miss the outgoing models. The CTS especially.
hitek9wittafulclip You’re right, Lexus is way too outdated, boring, and unintuitive to compare to Cadillac, BMW, Audi or Mercedes-Benz.
I came just to watch Micah Muzio's take. His is more entertaining than others at KBB.
Is it really a competitor for the 3 Series? It's the same size like the 5 Series.
Niclas M no it’s not much slower
Definitely Cadillac stepped it up. Highly considering it by 2021 December
Looks like an Accord. Maybe it's the C-Pillar that does it mostly. A little on the front as well
Audi A6 and Bmw 5 series and e classs rivals ?
The exhaust from inside the cabin sounds like a vacuum cleaner in the next room
It's a 4 cylinder wtf you expecting?
@@spengg_shell are vacuums powered by 4 cylinder engines
Mr. TAMW How about you name all of the 2.0L 4-cylinder engines in the segment that’s better.
@@tylercouture216 Well actually Dyson makes a V6 lol so it's got more "power" than this Caddy
It's a four banger and if it weren't for idiot marketers there would be a 3.6 Liter V6 as a base engine
Holy triceps, Micah!
not digging that C-pillar at all...but the rest of the car's styling details are nice. Great review Micah!
Looks similar to the Infiniti q60 and the Honda Accord
I agree and it's atrocious! Somebody needs to be slapped in the face for that. The rest of the car is beautiful, especially the color of this test car. The C pillar makes this car look like your run of the mill Altima or Honda and needs to go away ASAP. I'd definitely get the Hot V8 "true V" version!
@@LSp8 okay relax, its deadass not that serious
@@spengg_shell no it is that serious, it could've easily been left out. I'm just glad the CT6 was spared from that treatment
@@LSp8 ct6 came out way before the ct5, and theres simply no what they would share the same design
I already convinced Myself I’m getting this car
This is definitely a step backwards for Cadillac😳. They should’ve kept the CTS!
It certainly is a step in the right direction. Idk what you people are looking at.
It also starts around $10k cheaper than the CTS.
@@lashayhaney8772 How is making cheaper smaller cars, a step in the right direction for Cadillac? This company was once king of the luxury car game, and now this thing looks like it is competing with the Honda Accord. Lincolns are getting nicer and Cadillac's are getting smaller and cheaper. They may has well put a Buick badge on the front and called then the new Regal.
ramm lane Shut-up you moron. You have no idea of what you’re talking about or how clueless you sound. The Lincoln MKZ is a joke compared to this. It’s literally a rebadged Ford Fusion. Size does not determine the quality of a vehicle or whether it’s good or bad. Cadillac still has the largest offerings in majority of the segments where they compete so they can afford to get smaller. Since when is being more affordable a bad thing? Just shut-up.
@@mybro727
Hey guys and gals, ONCE AGAIN, it's the irritating troll *mybro727* who literally comments on every CZcams video review of the Cadillac CT5 whining like a bitch because the majority finds the questionable styling ques of the CT5 to be inelegant and tacky. LOL
This is a weird car, 3/4 of it is stylish and cool and then they hit you with the back of it, eww.
It's not that bad really
@venom5809 Oh shutup
Maybe the small hole near driver is for key fob.
I admire Cadillac vision for chromic version for luxury, while adding blacked carbon fiber version for sport.
Something I’d noticed is that the brand distinction identifiers appear to have crossed corporations and now Cadillacs and Acuras resemble each other.
Yup, it is sooo sad😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😪😪😪😪😪😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It’s a four banger how is it supposed to sound
Ok I maybe wrong did GM have an 2.0 turbo engine that made 270 Hp and 295 torque? Why the step back?
I ask myself this every day
Beautiful looking sedan
the front fangs look like a Peugeot
The small compartment on the left is for toll change not chapstick
I have both a BMW 530 I and the CT5 Premium Luxury and I drive the CT5 almost all the time. The Chassis, steering and handling are much better on the Cadillac .
Can't wait for the ct5v blackwing!!! Coming in 2021!!! Beautiful car!!!
Tonight it comes out
@@LamontBoucherville 👍. I'm getting ready to watch here soon. Just might be my next car!?!? Lol
My favorite car...
Ct5 = bmw 5, mb e, audi a6
Ct4 = bmw 3, mb c, audi a4
Or am I wrong?
Martin H Thats what I thought too
I thought the same too
Martin H I have a 2019 330i and I have better room in the back, more HP, better gas mileage, bigger trunk than the CT5 so I don’t think so.
MICAH! Nicely done, sir.
How is this car a compact. This car is the same size as a Mercedes E-Class.
And thank you Micah for the rating on the MMECI.
It's being marketed and priced as a compact in part I think to avoid competing with that car and also to make it good bang for your buck or whatever the kids are saying these days
It's cheap cus people don't wanna pay much for it. It's not compact at all.
Pretty car, my 2008 CTS is the same color inside and out.
Howdy, great review as always!😸😻😸
That with an all wheel drive V-8 would be sick
Man this thing is as large as my 2014 toyota avalon but folks are referring to it as a compact. Its midsize at the least. Its size is the prime reason im considering it frankly. Price is great even if the interior is on par with a mainstream midsize sedan.
I'll go find a legit review instead of some guy who thinks he's cute making the review more about him.
Scott McMahon ha
I prefer the wood trim in the luxury better than carbon fiber but also prefer the front facia on the sport one. I guess I'm out of luck.
I am looking forward to the Cadillac new cars. But this review did it no justice. Bad car review, don't find the jokes funny, he seems more negative towards the car or maybe the brand. Almost everything he pointed out that he claimed was good or ok, was later meet with a negative end connect. Not a fan, not funny, not professional enough for me.
Juwon Adejuwon I thought it was just me...this guy is so corny and it’s very obvious he’s trying his best to make the car appear worse of a competitor than it actually is smh
Cadillac is not more a luxury brand is just an sport brand if you want a true American Luxury go for Lincoln or Buick
sounds like youre biased and got bothered by a negative review.
Damn car daddy almost got through all of November
Wait a minute I’m completely LOST, when did Cadillac announce these name changes so now the ATS is the CT4 and the CTS is the CT5 and i thought the CTS (CT5) competed against the BMW 5 series, and the Mercedes Benz E class 👀🤦🏾♂️
Super confusing so basically the ct5 is meant to be a c class rival now same price as c class and 3 series but it is the size of the e class, and the ct4 is an a class and 2 series rival that is the size of a 3 series
Ahmad Harris it’s not that confusing if you’re familiar with the brand. The CT5 is competing in a segment below it’s predecessor (CTS) but not because it’s shrunk a lot in size. It’s only a few inches shorter than the Cadillac CTS it replaces but they’ve managed to increase the wheelbase in comparison to the outgoing CTS offering what Cadillac anticipates to be class leading occupant space.
Cadillac CT4 will compete with Mercedes-Benz A-class, BMW 2-series, Acura ILX, Lexus IS, etc.
Cadillac announced their name changes way back in 2015/2016 when the XT5 and then CT6 were revealed. CT# (Cadillac Touring and the number for hierarchy in the lineup) and XT# (Crossover Touring and again, number for hierarchy). The ATS and CTS have been discontinued. Their sedans are now tweeners. CT4, CT5, and CT6 are all priced to compete with the segments below their physical size (similar to how the first and second generation CTS sedans were marketed).
I do like how it sounds
This would be a nice buy used. The biggest issue with this variant is the 2.0 turbo. Way to small for a car of this size and weight. It should come standard with a twin turbo 4 that puts out close to 300hp. I mean the twin turbo 4 comes standard in a bmw 330i that puts out close to 290hp and gets 35 hwy mph.
I thought this car was more comparable with the E-Class, A6, GS and the G80.
And it is
They've got it wrong
@@mano23937Maybe in backseat space, which was intentional. This is priced and engineered to compete with the compact class with a midsize interior (particularly important in this car's biggest market - China).
Geeth San Nope. That would be the CT6
CT5 is smaller in the rear than those cars you mentioned. I sat in one and my head was touching the roof, I'm 5'11"
@@lashayhaney8772 the ct6 is 206 inches long
Just came from a E class and 5 Series review. This guy is like he is reviewing a Honda Civic.
BEE -U-TI-FUL! Diggin' it!
Why Cadillac cut power on there 2 liter turbos? It was 275 hp 295 lbs
This is a different 2 liter engine than before.
@@Roderickdl it's new but why they cut power? The Old 2.0 was impressive, it was putting out the same HP and torque as a V8 Northstar.
Because they want to go out of business?
This car in burgundy is gorgeous.
Really poor review
These reviews featuring Micah become more and more cringy.
Fabulous!!!!
I hate it when car reviewers fault car companies for going to USB type-c. It will be the norm and who doesn't like future proofing?
Exactly. I felt a sigh of relief when I saw the USB-C in back seat. btw, I believe USB-C will become totally dominant when iPhones ditch the Lightning port for USB-C. Forcing all the other small companies holding onto Micro-USB items to switch too, otherwise they lose sales.
Go with the CT6 twin turbo sport, bigger but light weight 3800 ILBs and 404 HP. Rides real smooth as well.
It costs twice as much
Isiah Davis lol. Not true. 60-63K. For CT6 sport.
Isiah Davis ct 5 sport about 44K
Don’t like the car, but love the review. Keep me coming guy!
My Dream Car
It's a shame how engineers and designers spend all of this time and effort creating a great automobile and improving upon the vehicles they replaced just to have it half-heartedly gone through in 8 minutes, which seems to be the case here. And can we get a car review that doesn't compare the interior to a German car. At this point the interior is a matter of preference not quality. Overall Cadillac's interior look really great in person. I feel like a more serious approach should be taken to get a more thorough look at Cadillac's newest sport sedan.
It was Buick Regal / Opel Insignia, now it is also a Caddy
Sexy car, but is it reliable?
Tim had ONE job....lol...
Wait, isn't he videographying?
ربي ارزقني من واسع فضلك ولكل من قال آمين رب العالمين
Totally!
You don't like how a 4cyl turbo sounds? That's like saying you enjoy breathing, the sound is borderline irrelevant.
I want the v6 twin turbo version.
Is that Subaru leather? 3:48
I was thinking that the CT5 compet against BMW 5 series and Mercedes E class 🤔 not the 3 series and C class
Nobunaga Oda I predict the new redesigned Cadillac CT6 will lose several overall inches in length like the CTS did here with it’s successor the Cadillac CT5. It will be shorter in length but not much shorter in wheelbase in comparison to the current Cadillac CT6. The all new redesigned CT6 will compete in that segment along with the BMW 5-Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6, Lexus ES, Acura RLX, etc.
GM depreciation: In 6 years this will have a lower KBB used car value than a Corolla/Sentra/Civic of the same year.
So the same as a 3-Series and C- Class but better than an audi.
I do not like this car... but that statement is almost ignorant as this is true for all luxury cars, the king and queen of this depreciation is actually MB and BMW.
bigcrowfly what an idiot. Cadillac has the most ignorant haters.
That's not a GM thing, that's a luxury car thing. Almost all car in this segment depreciate like a rock, regardless if they were made by GM or not.
Are you insane?? Lol. An 18.000 dollar car is not going to be the same price as a 40 or 50 thousand dollar CADILLAC car in 6 years. Luxury cars do depreciate badly. But NOT that much.
Next time we need to see HOT Tim ... sounds like Cadillac still falls short to take the lead, being satisfied with just good enough .. sad. Nice new colors ..
Keep your chin up Tom, or Tim, whatever.
My Guy - reviewin' this ride exactly as i would haha "hate how it sounds" *meagggggh face
The CT5 is 194” long. The Mercedes E300? Also 194”. The Civic? 177 inches.
This is not a “compact” car, by any means.
The wife was super excited for this to come out as a possible replacement for her older CTS. We took a test drive. And was massively disappointed. Lots of engine noise, fake leather seats, road noise ect. I think its just a tarted up chevy cruise??? For the money you can do waayyy better elsewhere.
很好，很喜欢，世上最好的车
Bro this car is luxurious ash
What is the point?
The CTS was getting old
The CTS looked luxury this just looks like a Toyota or Honda with a Cadillac badge on it
I'm a Lincoln guy but these new Cadillacs sure look nice.
In all respect, what could possibly make someone actually like Lincolns. Im just genuinely curious. Thanks.
@@RBZ06LT6 I know my taste is different than the majority’s, but I like the classic and more conservative look of Lincolns. I think Cadillac and every other luxury car brand (with few exceptions) have been coming out with very sporty, boy-racer-like designs, which I’m not particularly fond of. Lincolns are also very comfortable and reasonably-priced. I like their understated elegance, which is something that the vast majority of luxury cars lack. Anyhow, it’s just a personal taste of mine and I can understand if you or others disagree and have a different taste and opinion.
Nice😍👍👌👌
I’ll stick with my Flagship DTS, full-size luxury. No replacement for displacement
nice car, but i will pick the BMW 3, bez ct5 price will drop very soon and huge amt.
先👍后看。感谢分享
They really messed up with this car and hopefully they can sell a few so they can afford to fix the mistakes. Whoever approved the design of the C pillar needs to be fired and banned from designing cars for life! WTF were they thinking? Looks too much like a average Altima or Accord. I'll take an outgoing ATS or CTS over this. Only thing I like is the fact it's still RWD and has a 10-speed. I'll save for a 3rd Gen "V".
