| The Cadillac CT5: Introducing a Spacious Touchscreen and a Fresh Front End Design |
When discussing the Cadillac CT5, our attention naturally gravitates toward the formidable CT5-V Blackwing, boasting an impressive 668hp supercharged V8 engine. However, it's essential not to overlook the less extreme variants of this midsize sedan, which have just received updates unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The most striking alteration is readily apparent in the CT5's revamped front end, featuring a redesigned headlight and grille arrangement. While opinions may vary, it's safe to say that the new look isn't universally appealing. Many enthusiasts find themselves favoring the pre-facelifted version, as this new front end arguably leans toward the unattractive side.
Contrastingly, the interior of the CT5 tells a different story, showing significant improvements, largely attributed to a massive 33-inch touchscreen display. Cadillac's software suite integrates various handy Google apps and offers wireless compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Beyond these conveniences, the CT5 can be equipped with Cadillac's remarkable Super Cruise hands-free driver-assistance technology, setting a high bar in today's market.
Under the hood, prospective buyers can still opt for either a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 engine or a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. The former delivers a respectable 237hp and 258lb-ft of torque, while the latter elevates the figures to 335hp and 405lb-ft. Both engine options come standard with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and purchasers have the flexibility to choose between rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations.
