Cadillac unveils the all-new, stylish CT4-V and CT5-V luxury sedans

During Grand Prix weekend in Detroit, Cadillac expanded its lineup as they unveiled two new performance sedans: the CT4-V and the CT5-V. Highlights of these exciting sedans include available Super Cruise, All Wheel Drive (AWD), Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 which is tuned specifically for V models to enhance comfort without sacrificing performance-oriented responsiveness, and new V-Mode drive mode personalization.


Building on over 15 years of performance credentials and Cadillac’s latest turbocharging technology, the first-ever 2020 CT4-V and CT5-V adds to the V-Series family, expanding the choices for the brand’s original V-Series lineup, which was introduced in 2004.


“The new V-Series sedan lineup defines modern sophistication by combining luxury appointments with thoughtful technology and athletic refinement for the discerning enthusiast,” said Brandon Vivian, Cadillac executive chief engineer. “We are inviting even more customers into the V-Series family by adding a new level of elevated performance between our Sport models and the ultimate, high-performance track capability that the V-Series has grown to represent.”
